I got a herniated disc in my lower back in L4-L5. Should I stay away from exercise? Doctors are telling me to stay AWAY from anything that causes pressure on Lower back. Anybody here who suffered from the same condition? And Jeff, You are physical therapist so will you please please make a video on how to get rid of this problem and should I exercise or not. I think there is lot of people out there like me and a video from you will really help! . Thanks

-ATHLEAN-X- Could you do a video that touches on doing curls without pain/discomfort? Example. lets say I curl a bar with weight totaling 70lbs, feels easy. Then I move to a bar totaling 75lbs, immediately I'm feeling pain/discomfort in my wrists and ulna on both arms. EZ curl bars feel like they are even worse, like the most I could do on them would be 10-15lbs lighter than the straight bar. Thanks.

I don't see the point in pairing a muscle so small like the bicep with a muscle so big like the chest. This exercise primarily works bicep, sure he brings chest into it but with such little weight the chest is hardly getting worked.
If the exercise primarily worked chest and brought the bicep into it(kinda like a bench press) then it would be useful. Otherwise I don't see the point.

With an injured tendon in the elbow (most likely from concentration curls, training the bicep has become problematic if not impossible. Using this technique, the injury has been minimized and the bicep can once again be trained! I've dropped the weight used and increased the reps, but it feels great to be able to continue a training regimen without significant pain!
Thanks, Jeff

The problem with this movement for many people will be that the shoulder adduction at the start will limit the range of motion of the elbow flexion movement, unless you are using dumbbells with really small plates. In some people active insufficiency of muscle will also limit how much contraction of the biceps you actually get.

reasons, why i will not do this exercise:
1) my chest OR my biceps is probably not strong enough to handle the weight necessary to do 5-6 reps. this results in using swing, which is bad for the exercise.
2) i train chest/triceps -- back/biceps in a split, i think those muscles work even better together (benchpress, pull-ups)

great tip jeff! though i believe it would only carry over to other movements if you supersetted it with a torso rotation exercise, other wise your over training a small part of a big movement. sorry to be negative, i've been watching you for a long time and am inspired by your ideas and have alot of respect for you.

I intuitively used an exercise like this get my Bicep to respond. Previously I couldn't get the Bicep to go properly under tension. this one is great for anyone who has non responding biceps, to wake them up. :-) Especially when used in conjunction with a slight rotation of the wrist etc to further engage it.

1st guy: hey, here's a variation of the curl that will really isolate the biceps. 2nd guy: yeah, I like that, but let me improve on it by including a bunch of stuff that isn't the biceps. Because that will in no way contradict the original purpose of the exercise, right?

Totally nice. Good job brother. Can't go to hard on my chest with my dumbbells because of a bad shoulder and this hit my chest really good and of course the biceps. It will no doubt make up for lack of chest pump with my regular chest workout. Pleasantly surprised. Good on ya.
