Huge difference from straight to ez bar, no doubt.

Skinny bars are much better, I haven’t done straight bar in a while but I used to love the skinny bars as well.

here´s the funny thing, i prefer an EZ bar for standing curls but on preacher curls a straight bar.

[JackTheRipper]

I've never considered doing a max curl, what for to tear a bicep. Stupidity!!

But you´ll max out on Deadlifts "deadz" so your comment holds little ground.

Weird most are against strong big arms, I tell ya I have benched a little over 500 and I’m more proud of the curls over 200 than benching 500.

Also I’ve torn my pec and both calves but never a bi.

How the fuck do you tear both calves?

[joswift]

If you had calves you might understand

[robcguns]

How the fuck do you tear both calves?

Funny actually, I was doing standing calve raises on the machine and the machine I believe went to 390 and I had a few 45s pinned on it and I was on my last set and did the 390 plus 45s for 10 or so then dropped to stack and then down 50 lbs or so on each drop and when I got down to 150 or so I was doing strict then half repos at the end and I believe it was my right calve that blew out. Now my right calve was always ahead of my left so after that I would keep training doing bodyweight one legged calves for the left and about two weeks later doing just that the left one tore.

I’ve tried straight on preacher a couple times and it seemed like way to easy to tear the bi so I stuck with ez bar on preachers or machine preachers, never go heavy on these either for This reason always reps around 20+.

well for me it´s about range of motion. What is your opinion on say Negative only reps on preachers? do you think this would save you? knowing the muscles are more stimulated on the negatives, is your opinion the positive lifting on the rep is the problem?

Slightly off topic, but what is considered a respectable arm measurement for a dedicated gym rat?

Respectable 20-21'

Come on... for real? Isn't that more like a pro ?

Every gym I’ve been to I’ve had the biggest arms by far at 20-21” except for any freaked out bodybuilders which isn’t the norm. so I’d say respectable depending on height I’ll just say 5”11-6’2 17-18” and that is rare. Most guys I’ve trained with in last 10-15 years are around 220-230 with 17” arms juiced. Also if a guy is 5’6 a 15” arm will look big so respectable varies.

Yeah.  Robc isn't an ordinary gym rat by any means, but his arms look crazy big at 21"...the triceps in particular are gigantic.

[JackTheRipper]

[JackTheRipper]

Hell....

dropping the arms down to full extension is the perfect way to tear a bicep when you decide to pull it back again

Every single becep tear happens when the arm is fully extended
