Two questions:

1) Why is everything a thick bar in that gym?

2) Why is he fully extending his arms on preacher curls? That could lead to a pretty bad injury!

Made it through :50 of that action packed video. Zzzzzzz

Yes, his arms are filled with synthol and they look terrible. Soggy pizza dough arms.

If you asked years ago, I would've said no, mainly because he spent tons of time on them and they were his show piece body part. Post heart attack though, he's dropped a ton of size, but his arms still over power his physique in an odd way. I doubt synthol, because he's moneyed and seems health conscious enough not to screw around with it. But I wouldn't dismiss legitimate cosmetic grade bicep implants.

My brother just tore his biceps fully extending his arms on preacher curls. One of the most useless and dangerous exercise.

His bi's always looked like that.  It appears that it's the only muscle group he trains.

It's to engage in more "functional strength" I think. It will make you weaker but the forearms work more this way. I tried it and really did not like it.

What do you mean, "Make you weaker?" I actually heard that it was for getting stronger and increased muscle size.

try benching or curling with a thick bar, you will see what I mean. It makes you stronger in the sense it makes your grip/forearms stronger which will translate into better bicep growth.

But almost all of Poliquin's advice just does not work on me, odd.

Try doing shrugs or DB curls with large handles, can't hold onto it for very long.  The target muscle does not get fully worked, especially if you have smaller hands.

I tried using fat gripz and my grip gave out WAY before the muscle was fatigued. It seems like the rationale behind it was the more you use fat gripz, the stronger your grip will get, the longer you can hold the weight, thus targeting that specific muscle grip. However, I am not a powerlifter or strongman competitor, so I don't care about a strong grip. I just want to look good in a tight shirt lol. It didn't seem like a good reason to keep using them.

Throw in a swiss ball to the movements and now you're working everything but the actual muscle, lol....

That dude really made us think benching with dumbells on a swiss ball would achieve great chest development.

He's simply working grip and forearms too, while working biceps with the thick bars. Some of it's gimmick, some of it comes from working mainly with athletes where gripping, etc.... is a large part of their sport.

Here's the long winded answer that he uses -

He explains in the video around the 2.40 mark. Thicker bars recruit more motor units

Try doing penis squeezes for grip. Not only will you get a stronger grip but also add girth to your unit. Seriously(nohomo)

Yeah, that's the thing: I am not an athlete who needs to improve his grip, so it seems pointless to me to use them, especially if it will hinder the targeted area.

Poliquin is a strength trainer, not a mass trainer. No reason to do synthol. Too many idiots on this board.
