Neither of those are impressive lifts. Aren't you supposed to be in the top 0.000001% of all physiques in the world?

Low reps for preacher curls. I'm sure you targeted those tendons nicely

I've tried the Db preacher many times and felt nothing.The ez bar preacher narrow grip I feel like crazy as long as reps are 15 or better with a good squeeze at top.But still cause me tendinitis in elbow so I only do them once a month maybe.

Are you training for size or strength?

I ask because you seem to be obsessed with both how much you lift and how much you want to weigh, and sometimes from my observation those 2 goals can conflict with some people ie some people can gain size by training for strength, while others(most likely you) need to drop the ego and weight and feel the muscle work through a full range of motion on most movements.

Just an observation since you are looking at how much you lift on an iso movement like db preachers

PS those dumbells in the gironda pic being lifted by actor and real life tough guy Bob Tessier are Vince's fake wooden ones, much like the fabled fake 45's at golds

they supposedly resemble someone praying on a pew in the top position, but not sure if you're being serious.  :D

Try spider curls. still i like incline curls myself. you can not cheat with these, great stretch. just my 2 cents.

any curls will do, the bicep forms one function, do that under tension and it will respond

20 different types of curl and you still end up with the bicep god gave you.

yes but with Bells you can twist your wrist as i do on incline curls and straight on spider curls. If you are a genetic freak you might get quality Biceps with say just Barbell curls but the function of the biceps is also to twist the hand. you also get other results with hammer curls. so is a curl a curl? depends on the individual.

At last!  I know who be to blame for my pathetic caucasional jeans.  'n' sheeit.  ;D

I will give the spider curl a try. I don't have a bench for that one but will just use a light enough weight and bend at a 90 degree angle to approximate the movement without the  bench.  'n' sheeit.  ;D

use the flat side of a preacher bench or use an incline bench sitting, chest on the back rest, arms hanging and curl. works too. we have an old school preacher bench and i use the opposite side, the flat side.
