Why is he doing the limbo in the 3rd pic?

Ok, who the hell does a back and biceps day without bicep curls? Not saying you have to make them the be-all and end-all of arm development, but its foolish to avoid the exercise completely if youre interested in physique.

BACK,BICEPS
(warm up) wide grip pullups, close grip pullups, lat pulldown, lat pulldown behind the neck and close grip lat pulldown=3 sets of 20 each exercise.
barbell bent over row, deadlift and dumbell bent over row=6 sets of 10 per exercise.
hes most likely part of the “never train biceps directly” camp, yet still expects to have decent biceps. what a tool. while youre at it dont train your quads directly either, but im sure you already dont.
That’s crap. Close grip pull-ups are a far superior biceps exercise. There’s nothing wrong with the curl and its variations but it’s not really a necessity until you’re nearing competition shape.
He’s better off building overall mass with compounds for now. Much better off than all the skinny little kids wasting their gym time with “curl days”.
OP, you’re looking fine for a beginner. Spend a bit more time around here learning. Apply what you learn and come back to show us some real progress. Oh, you might want to stick with basic poses though.

ive never seen someone with big biceps who didnt curl.

I disagree with you here kruiser. First you can only beat ur back up so much in one session before ur just getting diminishing returns. The number of pullups and pulldowns seems really excessive here to me.
I mean this kid is doing 240 reps of back width. I think the most obvious change is to switch the rep sceme.
The other problem I have with the “do back thickness and back width for biceps” camp is that most ppl especially beginners are poor at activated their back in these exercises and instead let their biceps take over.
Now we are telling them to not do direct bicep work and instead let the biceps take care of themselves with back exercises. I think this will only exacerbate the problem of poor activation.[/quote]
Good point on the “mind-muscle connection” thing. I usually have to focus on my biceps during pull-ups when I want to activate them but I think I’m a rarity with that.
I’m also not bashing curls. They do have their place but for me it’s AFTER I can’t do another pull-up or heavy row.
Only on rare occasions do I start a workout focusing on biceps. It’s just too small a muscle to worry about unless you’re a pro and they’re lagging. This guy is just starting out.
I fully agree with you on his volume and should have mentioned it. All his set-reps seem like volume overload.
OP, you need to mix in some low rep, heavy work once you get your form down. If you try to keep up that much volume, as you get stronger you’ll inevitably end up overtraining and limiting your own progress.

I like your avatar picture. Guys just standing there, being awesome, on a hill strewn with the bones of his vanquished foes.
Did you draw that? I think you should find a way to incorporate a “Liger” into it (a Liger is a cross between a Lion and a Tiger…its pretty much my favorite animal). If you got really crazy and drew an armored liger you could get a sort of “He-Man/Battlecat” duality going.
if you like tigers, heres another one i drew[/quote]
lol wtf
What do you call that back pose? It looks like your doing a tribal dance or something.
Very strange presentation but you have a base

I knew that picture reminded me of something but I couldn’t quite pinpoint it. The rapper’s haircut is a little different, but damn…
