UNLEASH THE BEAST
Elite Member
|
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.

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.

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. ![]() |

must agree i like inclin db curls 2,
do any of you when you curl have you pinky be high then your thumb at the end of the movement, almost like a twist, i really feel the bicep contract when i do this, that is if i remeber to do it also like hammer curls |
