another view bow the spider curl bench

Is that the one in the middle of the picture? I'm having difficulty trying to figure out what the contraption in the foreground is used for, and how it is used.

erik the spider bench is in the foreground  the other [scott]  curl bench  is behind it. it's strange viewing these pics in color because they came from a time when the world was gray... larry scott using the spider curl bench.

That looks really uncomfortable. Seems to me you could do spider curls rather easily by using the Scott Curl Bench in reverse.

As do I. I'm just wondering why Gironda and for that matter Scott used this other Spider Curl Bench?

Maybe, back then, they thought that the isolation of the biceps, was easier to accomplish, with the Spider Bench. Still, I think that the isolation on the reverse Scott Curl Bench position, is simple enough, if you are paying attention to what you are doing.

yes i agree with you but if you look at his body position and pad/elbow position it was a great idea. Who can argue with Larry Scottīs biceps ? If i put a bench like this in our Gym no one would know what it is or used for never mind what a spider curl is... :o

No arguing with Larry's biceps, for sure. Especially when he made them before he used roids. Always thought it was strange that his arms never got any larger after he started Dbol?

If these pictures are accurate that is up to debate but he did maintain great Guns until a good age...that then for me is in itself progress.

Yes the picture of an older Larry Scott, is also a much lighter Larry Scott, so it appears that his guns increased in size, from his younger pictures. They didn't.

Scott had long full Biceps and he used exercises to work on his strong point.  really concentrating on Preacher curls ala "scott curls" and spider curls. does anyone have a picture of him doing say incline Dumbell curls?

I am looking at the 3 positions Stretch,midrange,contracted... Spider curls hit it all in my opinion. Incline curls are more stretch.. a bit of midrange. Yes Vince and Scott knew their stuff...
