    Talking Favorite Bicep Exercise

    EvilEdDanzig did a thread on what hits your chest the most. Good idea, so I want to know what hits your biceps the best (you personally). If you could have only one bicep exercise, what would you do?
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    I'll go first. I have trouble feeling exercises in my biceps. I usually feel it more in my forearms and elbow, no matter how good form I try and try to squeeze. But I always feel the bicep contract when I do Incline DB curls! So they are my favorite exercise to do.

    Man,I dig seeing the props....glad you liked the idea!

    As for me,it's a split between....

    Smith Machine Drag Curls
    and
    Cambered bar Preacher Curls

    those are my favorites because I feel thorough stress in my biceps and I usually get a tremendous pump off the first set or two

    A Smith Machine drag curl is when you go on a Smith machine and instead of a full curl motion,you drag the bar close to your body,pushing your elbows back as the bar raises up against your torso. You usually cannot use much weight with these, and they hit HARD if you do them right. The biggest problem with these is concentrating on using ONLY your biceps and not using your back,effectively that would turn into a half-assed upright row.

    Incline DB curls I love. Love the feeling of them, they just get me so pumped to keep working out.

    Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life and the next.

    I do 4 sets for biceps now instead of my old 3. Right now I do 2 sets of hammers for 10-12 reps (60-65 #s), then a set or two of seated incline curls (simultaneous) ~10 reps, if I only did one previous set of the seated then I will probably finish with a set of standing alternated curls same reps.

    I have this problem once I get to around 115. Lately I've been doing plenty of alternating DB curls, incline curls, and hammer curls. Once every 3 to 4 bicep workouts, I superset 10-12 rep BB curls (moderate weight concentrating on form) with 8-10 reps alternating DB curls for 3 sets. Talk about feeling it!

    Inclines are my fav - I love the stretch you get and they are the only exercise that make me sore.

    Well, either that or several drop sets with a barbell until you wake up the next morning with your biceps contracted and can't move them.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.
