One of the ways is wide-grip preacher and standing curls. That and diet to bring out more detail.

what´s the major difference between using the close or wider grip ? With the wider grip i have real trouble to keep my arms at the end of the set on the scott bench, but i use this grip for my standing barbell or SZ-Curls....many scott-benches are relativ small for "wider people 8)... ??

i have taped (digicam) today some sequences from my biceps training, including SZ-Scott-Curls with close grip as the 2nd exercise...

grip:
wide = inside
tight = outside

Keep the elbows in closer than the hands, then there'll be no problem on the preacher bench.

great post pumpster as usual..
also i find the straight bar hits the inner head more..
while the cambered bar hits the outer head...
.. personally i think the straight bar is superior for size

The straight bar's better but can be tough on the wrists. Only time the e-z curl makes any sense for bis IMO is preachers or reverse curls. The usual e-z curl preacher grip hits the biceps pretty well esp. outer head because of the close-grip and the angle of the wrists.

Incline db curls hit the inside damn good as well.
