"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." - Ecclesiastes 7:20
It's amazing how a few decades can change yer perspective! 😜 Whether it's Barbell Curls or Squats or whatever, the question goes from what does the lift work to what CAN it work? Case in Point: Barbell Curls. These Barbell Curls with 140lb are powered up to the beginning of the finish position, where l lean back and work hard to get a peak contraction at the top. I also start by dropping my hands from the shoulder before picking up the bar to assess my proper grip width. This grip, as stated in the clip, limits the Brachioradialis involvement while forcing more contribution from the Biceps & Brachialis. Who knew a plain ol' Barbell Curl could be so nuanced?? When we take the time to learn, experiment, and apply, we can go beyond our wildest expectations. God Bless.

00:26Oh, thank you Lord.
00:33So when you just let your arms hang like that, that's going to be where that grip is going
00:41to keep a lot of the brachialis out of it and make it more focus on the biceps and the
00:46brachialis.
01:08Definitely not a strict curl, so I'm meant to be.
01:11It's going to come up, momentum's going to fall off, and you're going to have to finish
01:15the top.
01:17It's a very crampy peaky kind of lift at the top.
01:22Kind of the opposite of what a preacher curl does, that accentuates the bottom, this accentuates
01:27the top part of the curl.
01:43Wow.
01:57That's 140 pounds, but you can definitely see how it really accentuates that top part
02:04of the curl.
02:05So that bicep gets a real peak contraption at the top.

Let your hands 'fall' out for more Biceps stress.
