aesthetics said it's a horrible idea to max out on preacher curls, true?
« on: February 21, 2012, 12:20:01 PM »
is it a bad idea to do heavy preacher curls of like 5 reps

then use the same weight untill u can get 8-10 reps with it and increase it the next session to a weight u can only do 5 reps again?


that way use more and more weight


get bigger and bigger arms?

High Volume for biceps.

Heavy weight just goes to tendons and fucks up your elbows.

it's useful to directly train the bicep since it doesn't get a lot of stimulation from pulling exercises unlike what they want us to believe

Must be somewhat disagreed.

I got my best results (lol) from doing curls with old school straight bar in range of 4-6 reps.

Of course it fuked up my elbow for awhile but biceps grew  8)

It's the old holy grail pursuit.

Yea.

Many guys seem not get the feeling in biceps when doing low reps. I dunno what they are doing... I have always felt it in biceps from the first rep.
On the other hand, arms are only part of me that have ever looked even somewhat decent  ;D

Yeah real low. We are laying down hard science on the validity of exercises applicable to the structural variances in body construction...Serious business...

I'm sure that Arnold said that standing barbell curls didn't work well for Franco because his lats would take over. Low lats too.
