It depends almost completely on your goals as to whether or not you value curls. |

Arnold described the pump after a concentration curl like that of cumin inside a female. lol crazy but w/e it works!

I train for strength and I have no reason to curl. Back work is enough for me because I really don't care how I look, and my biceps are strong enough for my uses of them. As far as I see, there's no reason TO do curls. That's just my opinion though. |

Those interested in strength, health, or sports would pretty much be wasting their time by doing bicep curls. That is, unless the sport they are involved in has some type of specific movement that mimics a curl.

if you could give me one valid reason why someone not traing for olympic lifts shouldint train there bicep/brachialis then you have a point. |
