    OH palms down thumbs on top (reverse curls)

    Single arm incline DB (I like Dumbbells better) curls (different hand positions), My second fav. to ez bar curls.

    would preacher curls, standing curls, and reverse curls be enough variation of excersizes for my biceps?

    Thats what I do, Sorta,
    I would do preacher curls with a an ez-bar
    single arm Dumbbell curls palms up and facing each other
    Then standing reverse curls
    and your set.

    I do what Spitfire does minus the standing reverse curls. I can barely eek out my DB curls after the EZ bar curls. My biceps burn out fast.

    Reverse curls are not for Bi's the are for your brachioralialis.

    I've adopted 7 - 21's for variety. What are 7 - 21's ... you do 7 sets of reps starting from a resting position to a half rep position ... then immediately do 7 reps starting from the half rep position to a top finsih ... then do 7 full motion reps. I do this 3 times for a great pump.

    I like drag curls, concentration curls, and spider curls. Drag curls really hit the brach, but they hit the biceps pretty well too.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
