Bodybuilding: Curls, Curls, Curls

Bigger Stronger Leaner

King, your biceps are insane. They remind me of Larry Scott’s biceps.

I haven’t done free standing curls in well over a year. I feel it’s easier to gauge progress this way because being forced into a more strict controlled movement let’s me know that I’m actually getting stronger each week as opposed to maybe using slightly looser form to get another rep or a bit more weight. I’ll keep training them in this manner as long as my biceps continue to grow, which they are.

Current bicep routine (trained once a week supersetted with triceps)

Ez-Bar Spider curls (vertical side of preacher bench) 5x 15,12,10,10,8-10
Seated alternating dumbbell curls 3x8,8,6-8
Seated Hammer curls 3x10,10,8-10
Reverse Preacher curls 4x10,10,10,8-10[/quote]

^ Yes very much so.

Why does this thread even exist? CT said doing isolation work for bigger arms is stupid and dangerous. Just do your front squats and ring work!

But gymnasts have the best biceps on the planet bug!

I really don’t get it. A lot of the ‘new’ stuff CT has been throwing out there seems plenty solid, but that’s not an idea I can wrap my head around.

I did some ring work supersetted with box jumps yesterday. My arms grew 2 inches instantaneously. Box jumps will murder your triceps.

Yeah I agree. CT usually has me sold on his techniques but every time I have given up arm training for “the basics” only I lost arm size. My triceps never grew from presses and biceps from pulls etc…

Anyone do reverse curls regularly? Do you keep your wrists straight? Bent back? Bent down toward palm?

DB? Straight bar? EZ Bar?[/quote]

Can only do EZ Bar, otherwise my wrist start to kill me after a few weeks. Unless I use very low weight.
