The big question. Do you miss out on gains if you do EZ bar curls for biceps?
>>

Retard question. Do what you feel is right for your biceps. Even retards can feel if their biceps are working right?

Hypothetically the gains are better with a straight bar because supination is a secondary function of the bicep. But I’ll tell you what the primary function of the bicep is, anon. It’s elbow flexion. Pick up a bar and curl it. Use whichever you prefer. Even a hammer grip will work the biceps. The more pronated your grip technically the more load shifts to your brachialis but generally speaking every kind of curl will involve both to varying degrees.
>>77310266
Sensation means nothing. If you are performing elbow flexion through any means with the humerus fixed your biceps will be moving that load.

Arms are no brain ez
>can spam
Delts and chest are the hardest. If somehow your arms continuously stall then just put arms first and last or whatever in your session. Usually it's much more difficult to put meaningful size on chest and delts though over a few weeks.

I don't know how people do bicep curls with the ez bar it just fucks up my wrists almost right away.
>>
I do 2 sets. 1 outside grip. 2 inside grip
>>
>>77310262
For joint related reasons, the EZ-bar is better because the grip follows the natural carrying angle of the arm that occurs during supination
>>
>>77310262
Its more expensive so it automatically makes it better
>>
I have had this theory that with a flat bar the weight would be more evenly distributed during bicep curls and reverse curls, at least as far as forearms go. What do you faggots think?
>>
>>77310353
what does mentzer know about straight?
>>
>>77310262
No 1 answer.
You do what is comfortable for YOU.
EZ bar curls is optimal for me when doing preacher curls (straight bar is painful), but not when standing, so I do dumbbells.
>>
Dumbbell curls are better because you can perform a supinating movement (one of the functions of the bicep) during them, feels as smooth as butter
>>

mentzer could have fucked you in the ass if he wanted to
