This may work but I don't like this exercise since it involves flexing the shoulders too, which could get exhausted during the set quicker and more importantly BEFORE the bicep is exhausted. For me the best exercise is one where no other muscle is being exercised apart from the bicep. The most important thing is the squeeze at the top of the movement and slow extension, keeping the muscle under tension and making sure momentum or gravity does not take control of the weight. One more tip: people don't realise that when doing curls you are actually using your tricep to curl as well as the bicep. In fact if you chopped your bicep off then you will STILL be able to curl because ALL muscles push and pull (proof: leg extensions - quads squeeze the weight, squats - quads push the weight. Try doing exercised that 1. completely isolate the bicep, such as preacher curls and 2. involve no other muscle movement other than the bicep during the set 3. ALWAYS squeeze HARD for 2 seconds max at the contraction 4. Never let the weight drop by gravity: THE NEGATIVE PORTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT and is where I would say 80-90% of muscle growth occurs, since you are using oxygen in your muscles and not your lungs (try it - take a deep breath in on the contraction and you'll find that you can breathe HOWEVER YOU LIKE on the extension.

By that logic then a morbidly obese person is -scientifically- strong because of their size a. k. a. mass. Your muscles ability to get stronger is not at all based in their size, I'm a scientific man and I can tell you for a fact your premise is wrong. Lets look at reps and sets in the gym, 4-6 rep sets with heavy weight has been proven to build strength HOWEVER this does not increase muscle size because the muscle is not -damaged- enough for your body to start its -building block- recovery.

An obese person is -FAT- not muscular. He has a lot of fat cells which gives him that big size. But the size he has is not muscle size. In order for you to improve your strength you must increase in size. Your muscles would otherwise function the same because it hasn't changed. You are talking about comparing different people by size. Someone bigger than you might not be stronger, it could just be how he is. But you and a bigger you, the bigger you is stronger.

Wrong, there are different types of -trained- or conditioned muscles. Muscles can be conditioned for speed and intensity whereas other people can train their muscles for slow, heavy power. The people who train with slow, heavy power can have some good bulk. but have little or no endurance. Whereas the other group can have more endurance and strength but smaller, more compact muscle groups. it is not the size but more the conditioning.

Great tips!
And you kinda gets a similar thing in the rings when doing a pullup where you rotate from pronated in the bottom position to supinated in the top position. Kinda, since you don't elevate your elbows in the same way like in the end position where the hands has passed the neck in the video. Maybe some kind of inverted pull-up in the rings with turning hands will get you close to the thing?

-JDCav24 Do you have any advice/exercises for a distal bicep tendonosis? Have had it for 8 months (was diagnosed via MRI. Seen a few physios, had a couple of plasma injections too, but have made very little progress date.
Currently doing eccentric dumbbell curls and eccentric hammer curl. Only training legs and triceps apart from this.

Im sorry but to be honest with you size is related to strength. Although there is a lot of belief otherwise and many rumors against it. It is scientifically proven that size means more strength or endurance. Your muscle needs to grow (make more or bigger cells) in order to gain strength or endurance
That is the scientific fact

Started off as a great addition to my biceps arsenal, but be careful, weightlifting friends. this move puts an obscene amount of strain on the biceps tendon where it attaches to the lacral area of the shoulder. I have been out of commission for 8 weeks and now Doctors believe

Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to get back to the form I was in around 29 or 30. I was a beast! I'm 46 now and my testosterone is low. I was told bicep workouts can help. I'm currently running 3 5 Ks a week, but I know I need to start lifting again.

I do a variation of this exercise using the same principles but for my triceps using a cable row machine in a standard bent over one arm position. Adding that extra upward flare at the end getting a little rear deltoid contraction. Any thoughts?
