My favorite curl is the one where you reach overhead with a neutral grip and then pull your body upwards. I also like to get a nice stretch in the bis by doing neutral grip isometric holds in a lengthened position and then going for a walk

Whatās a curl?
Effective Curls!
The discussion should be about the most effective curls.

Not sure about āmost effectiveā, but my favorite curl is the one I do on the couch, with Netflix on and possibly a goblet of wine close at hand.
For me it would be more like discussing my favourite shade of beige.

So if I understand you correctlyā¦if I am just doing a Biceps day, I should basically start by burning my biceps with direct arm work until they are nice and crispy. And then finish them off with some variation of pull-ups or similar. (I did exactly this yesterday based on what I thought you were telling me)
But if it is back day, just do all the regular back stuff, then do the biceps work afterwards. And maybe finish them off with some pulls-ups.
That about right? Normally, if I do any biceps work at all, it is after the back work, and then only half-assed.
Should be fine. Just remember that youāre doing the pullups to target biceps, so while most people would target the lower (closer to fully extended arms) 2/3 ROM for lats, youād want to focus on the top 2/3 ROM for more biceps, BUT if youāre one of those people who rest at the top (effectively deloading the biceps), make sure you really milk that negative!

So you are giving me a license to not extend, whatās not to like? I like negatives (and isometrics holds at various points) and also build that sort of thing in. I will continue to do so with a mind for burning up my biceps.
@The_Mighty_Stu dropping in here with some bicep training gold. Looks like I have been doing it wrong for 30 years. Maybe that explains my shite biceps !!

Sorry Iām late to the show, but after weighing in at 200 today, 10lb up in 5 weeks, Iām in and up for getting lean!
These were painful to upload, I was definitely in denial about how much weight Iād gained. Genuinely and whole heartedly believed I was leaner.

Never realised what a long torso you have. If you havenāt checked out @kleinhound s log do. He has a ton of crossfit-esque conditioning workouts posted there recently which might suit you given your recent foray into that type of training

Not sure thatās true. The only possible takeaway is that itās not his definition of lean. And joining the transformation seems more motivated by gaining a certain amount of pounds within a certain amount of time.
Either way, he can afford to do what he wants with his weight and body composition, while others cannot. And shouldnāt incorporate into their own thoughts what someone else is doing.

I guess one normally tenses when looking in the mirror, so a relaxed photo is a little humbling ha
Nothing humble about those quads!
