Listen to what Larry says at the 1.27 mark,thats the most effective way to train the biceps.

larry and mike mentzer were advocates of the straight bar.

Well the straight bar has your hand more supinated this should hit the biceps more because it is already in partial contraction.  The ez curl will hit the brachias a bit more.

For me the wrists and elbows hurt now trying to use the straight bar, probally the years of abuse.

Exactly.  The arms and forearms look more impressive when you have a nice big brachias radialus sticking up

EZ bar is much better for triceps exercises IMO.
what i thought.

i do ez / straight curls and alternate one arm preacher curls when it's biceps day.

like you can choose what part of your bicep you want to developp?

isnt it all about genetics, i cant get the lower part of my biceps to developp.
