heavy bicep curls useless?

are heavy bicep curls like in the 3x5 useless? i hear aot of people say that trying to do bicep curls for power is useless

Just stick to the compounds for now.

 

[danny81]

i will i was just wondering about if they were useful or not

 

[Witchblade]

For more advanced bodybuilders, they are useful to provide an extra, isolated stimulus for a muscle.

For beginners, they are redundant.

Overall, they are over-rated.

Whats 3x5 mean?

 

[min0 lee]

5 repetitions done 3 times.

Compounds are really groovy. IMHO, if you want to balance what they do to your arms you do reverse grip curls to balance the look... if looks is what you seek.

I second that!
