What's the best biceps exercise for maximum growth?
>>76956054Definitely not pic related, if your form is off you can grind through a tendon.
>>76956054I've done 1rm bicep curls before never had any issue, infact it felt even better than the normal rep range It's 100% a roidtranny problematic of muscle and strength overgrowing your tendons
>>76956074>I've done 1rm bicep curlswhat the actual fuck
>>76956054roids + any bicep exercise
>>76956075Take 25kg, concentration curls, not 100% rom tho i didn't stretch my biceps all the say down but think 165° angle or so My working set on each arm is 17.5kg
>>76956054The best exercise to grow any muscle of your choice is to go to failure with 3-5 sets, 2-3 times per week, increasing the weight every week or 2 and being on a caloric surplus and high protein intake.The exercise you do doesn't matter as long as you do this.
>>76956075>don't deadlift the weight on preacher curlSure it's more weight but you're basically putting all the tension on the ends of a few bicep fibers with your whole bodyweight. Try a wider grip and less powercleaning your bicep curl. I like leaning over more so it is the heaviest mid rep or so and go +-20% from there not trying to curl max weight.>60+lbs single arm for some reps if heavy from 60lbs barbell feeling heavy 1.5yr before
holding a baby 8 hrs a day
>>76956152Also doesn't happen on forearm grip/ezcurl much. Pec tears are also common from loading pec bench heavy while muscles are in megafucked state. As a natty I prefer doing a lot of 1-3rms that build tendons, but roided doing them to failure for the first lift is just not good. Gotta learn to rotate your joints so the load is evenly distributed.
>>76956054Straight forward controlled hammer curl sets of 4-6 reps every set to failure
>>76956144Failure every set, or just the final set?This question seems to plague humanity and I've not found a definitive answer yet
>>76956054The kind you can progressively overload. Personally I like dumbell incline bicep curl
>>76956054Bayesian cable curls
>>76956377final set. the others are warmup sets.
>>76956377RIR every set.
>>76956377Answer is that it doesn't really matter as long as you're putting up decent resistance within a hypertrophic range
>>76956144found the science geek. None of that shit fucking works.
>>76956561Not him but you sound fucking stupid. What he said is what you should be doing
>>76956054I can barely do 30lbs dumbbell, bros...
>>76956377As close as possible to failure in every set, obviously every set will be less reps.
Started isolating my arms pretty recently. Thoughts on bicep curls with fat gripz? Will it save me from getting elbow pain down the line? I was getting all my bicep work from pull ups.
>>76956382I like standing for all my curls for that constant full body tension. I hope it will all add up to a torso of titanium.
>>76956377If you hit failure in early sets, you won’t be able to do the same amount of reps on the last set (unless you rest for like 10 minutes). If you fail on the last set, you’ve exhausted the muscle. It really doesn’t matter
that's why you use the preacher curl machine instead of the free weight and stand up at the end of each set to lower the weight
>>76956873>quit training a crucial body part as a man because of other people's stupiditylol, couldn't be me
>>76956890no, that's why you use ez bar instead of straight barstraight bar puts way too much stress on the tendon, it's a completely unnatural angle to bear load like that
>>76956914It's always preacher curls too lol
>>76956924>it's an unnatural angle to pick something up with your fingers, rotate it, and hold what's between your fingers to your face to look at>therefore, I, anon, am saying that it's an unnatural angle to lift something to your face with a palm up facing movement>>76956890you know you could just lean a little bit forward to get the same max stretch of the biceps for isolation right?are you two fucking retarded or something?might be right about the tendon thing if you're talking about the wrists though... but maybe stop having bitch wrists?
>>76956074>I've done 1rm bicep curls before never had any issue, infact it felt even better than the normal rep rangethis is actually true, when weight gets that big you aren't bending elbow but every other joint around iti felt biceps long head once getting heavy dumbbells up for pressing but i wasn't able to distill the portion of movement responsible for biceps muscle ache next day>It's 100% a roidtranny problematic of muscle and strength overgrowing your tendonswrong, the reason regular curls are so shit is because delt uphold humerus vertically and this traps long head shoulder tendon introducing instability - muscle can't hold contraction when it's obstructed with preachers delt clamping on biceps >>76956873shortens the muscle artificially and as u lower weight down sudden jolt of released slack in long head wrecks it completely - it's ALWAYS THE LONG HEAD https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jzNQP746MAI>but maybe stop having bitch wrists?maybe avoid wrist flexion and wrist altogether and hook powerband on the forearm near wrist, rubber is anchored low so that it's 45 degs to vertical, sitting pull BACK to the position as if your arm was sling, forearm supinated pulling back instead of up moves pressure from front delt into rear and frees up long head biceps shoulder tendon to slide freelybiceps grows and i forgot how tender elbow biceps tendons feel :D
>>76956054I do biceps on back day so they are getting smashed during back work. I isolate with hammer curls and preacher curls. I don't have massive arms but I'm happy with them.
>>76956074It's a problem of novel range of motion. If you're used to using 50 lbs dumbbells to do standing curls, where the resistance is highest at the midway point of the lift, you don't want to keep the same weight when you jump straight into preacher curls where the resistance is most difficult at full extension. THAT is how those bicep tears happen.
>>76957597> I isolate with hammer curlsradial tunnel syndrom inbound and not biceps - brachialis and brachiradialis due to grip > and preacher curls>>76957578with preachers delt clamping on biceps>>76956873shortens the muscle artificially and as u lower weight down sudden jolt of released slack in long head wrecks it completely - it's ALWAYS THE LONG HEADhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/jzNQP746MAIbiceps is for pulling back and best way to achieve adequate time under tension is isometric hold, but FIRST it's gotta be biceps not sth else :D >maybe avoid wrist flexion and wrist altogether and hook powerband on the forearm near wrist, rubber is anchored low so that it's 45 degs to vertical, sitting pull BACK to the position as if your arm was sling, forearm supinated>pulling back instead of up moves pressure from front delt into rear and frees up long head biceps shoulder tendon to slide freely>biceps grows and i forgot how tender elbow biceps tendons feel :D>>76957609>THAT is how those bicep tears happen.nope bot, it's the interference between delt and long head biceps tendon u're lowering the weight, bicpes is done but u're still gingerly lowering the weight as dlet grabs and holds long head biceps tendon shortening the muscle artificially, then at the bottom the tension releases and compromised biceps is tugged and it breaks - that's why fraction of one rep max standing curl weight can sever tendon on preacher, and that's why regular curls don't work - ya need to pull back not up
>>76957616>>76957597 here - What should I focus on than for more bicep focus?
>>76957578>>76957616>t.
>>76957625>>76957624>here - What should I focus on than for more bicep focus?i focus on spine and scaps as i sit on my arse, spine extended scaps dropped down and out powerband so that it's at 45-ish degs to vertical hooked on wrist near forearm and then i pull back to my shrt pocket supinating forearm to the position of arm-slinngi don't try to lock elbow in place though, elbow moves about halfway as much as palm does when i do it these are my focuses bot :D
