Bicep Curl Functional?

Training Bodybuilding

The term ‘functional’ has no meaning in itself. Function is only relevant according to the task being performed.

For instance, curls are tremendously functional for a strongman competitor, bodybuilder, or submission grappler. On the other hand, football players, sprinters, and boxers derive very little benefit from direct biceps work.

Football players don’t need strong biceps? Seriously? Boxers don’t either? WTF. One of the easiest ways to strain a bicep in boxing is to have weak biceps…they can’t effectively recoil form the force being thrown outwards without being strained. 1/3 correct. And I’m sure all top-level sprinters do a DECENT amount of bicep work, to have a strong arm swing.

How can someone attack your “person” when they have never interacted with you face-to-face, or even in real-time chat for extended periods of time?

I mean, me…I just laugh, and if I have the free time, kindly explain why the person is an idiot. But damn, the amount of butthurt here…is just amazing. This is why exclusive clubs, cells, groups, etc, exist. Because the general population is full of idiots and assholes. (This second part isn’t necessarily directed towards you PV)[/quote]

That’s nice, but personal attack means turning the entire thread away from the actual discussion to bitch and complain about the person arguing themselves. You can see that fucking nearly every thread here over the last few months.[/quote]

In a sense, sure…but someone can only detract from a thread in a serious manner if you allow them to do so. I think it’s easiest to just ignore them and carry on…everyone knows that real trolls just do the shit for attention…just like a little kid. Stop giving them attention, they stop doing what they’re doing. [quote]

If the discussion is about a pro bodybuilder but 10 pages of the thread turns into morons complaining about what job someone has or whether they can call themselves whatever title they choose, that is personally attacking someone.

Once again, who gives a shit? If a person’s actions/accomplishments stand for themselves, they won’t NEED to defend themselves or their positions. I find it easier and more productive to adopt the “IDGAF” attitude towards people that clearly are trying to get me riled up fro no good reason. They’re not worth my time.

About as functional as my cock when I consume too much alcohol.

Yknow, I was taking some time off writing my ethics essay and just lurking around the forums and this post made me so glad I did… This post=pure gold.

The word functional is so overused, I’m not even sure what it’s supposed to mean anymore. No form of curling that I can think of is going to cause dysfunction, but it’s also not a real world movement. Then again, I didn’t really think people did curls to get better at real world movements. It’s gun season.

Also, cells like the T-Cell were created because at that time, there was little to no discussion in this forum about actually building muscle. If we even tried, there would be hundreds of posts about why someone wants to get big.

They don’t exist because of people not wanting threads to turn into personal attacks.

If we can no longer discuss even an article on this site without it turning into bullshit about who people are, that is what will send people out of here.[/quote]

Do people still get invited into the T-Cell? I never scored one

H4M’s straight-forwardness is… refreshing.
