TIP: HIGH TENSION CURLS FOR NEW ARM GROWTH

[01dragonslayer]

Get a band and angle it so that it provides maximum resistance at the top of the curl when the bicep is completely shortened. By doing so, there's never a drop-off in tension and you'll stimulate more muscle growth. As a bonus, the chest pad works as your built-in counterbalance against gravity, so you're forced to stay strict.

HOW IT WORKS​

Tension is the stimulus for growth. Muscles experience the greatest amount of tension where the resistance curve is at its peak in the concentric point of an exercise. Tension can be manipulated in order to spur new mass gains.






One way to do that is to raise the resistance curve at the point where it starts to decline so that the muscles are at a disadvantage for a longer period of time. This is where accommodating resistance comes into play, like using bands to increase the resistance where it normally would descend.

Using a band to increase resistance in the top portion of the dumbbell preacher curl is an effective way to maintain tension and stimulate more muscle growth. By countering the natural drop-off in tension, you can challenge your muscles throughout the entire range of motion. This technique, known as accommodating resistance, can be a valuable tool in your training to maximize muscle development.
