  • Quick basic tip for optimizing your biceps curls during biceps workouts in order to build bigger arms.

      Hi had a quick question what would you think is better going for lesser weights or having a slightly bad form because in my case I don’t wanna go any lower because on my last two I’m literally pulling that sh up for 4-5 seconds and, completing my set one rep behind muscle failure. I guess you kinda brought tangos up but if you or someone else could give some clarification that’d be cool

      Using the shoulders on the final portion of the curl isn't a problem. Doctor Mike and Jared from Renaissance Periodization go over this in detail in their channel. The main problem is that he needs to fully extend his arms and keep his elbow a bit forward.

      It's actually correct to use your shoulder movement, as long as the shoulder isn't used to "swing" the weight in to motion. The biceps doesn't just end at your shoulder, it actually extends into your shoulder. So if you want to fully strech and contract the whole biceps fiber, you go all the way up, which includes a shoulder movement.

      The Shepherd’s Desire
      ‘The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life’
      -John 10:10
      What is the desire of the Good Shepherd for His sheep? His desire for His flock is for them to flourish. He wants them to be well-fed and cared for. He wants them to be content and satisfied.
      Jesus said, “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep”
      (John 10:10-11)
      However, this abundant life that Jesus spoke of may not necessarily be a long one. But it certainly is a full one. Medical science has had breakthroughs of late that might extend our lives. But only Jesus Christ can add life to our years.
      It is the Good Shepherd’s joy to lead us to “green meadows” and “beside peaceful streams” (see Psalm 23:2) Jesus not only promises life beyond the grave. He also said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10)
      Thus, like David we can say, “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need” (Psalm 23:1)
      Contentment is a great thing to have in our lives. The apostle Paul said, “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength”
      (Philippians 4:11-13)
      It isn’t the idea of being content because we have a lot; rather, it’s being content regardless of what we have. As followers of Jesus Christ, our contentment doesn’t come from what we have; it comes from Who we know.
      We know this is true because there are so many miserable, wealthy people in the world today. We read about them all the time. Their lives are falling apart. Their marriages are falling apart. They’re battling addictions. And they are not content.
      But we can find contentment in a relationship with the Good Shepherd. Jesus said, “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32)
      And Hebrews 13:5 tells us, “Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you’”
      God isn’t austere and angry and reluctant to work in our lives. He loves us and has a tender heart toward us. And it gives Him pleasure to give to us His kingdom and His blessing.
      When you put your trust in Christ, not only does He forgive you of your sins, but He also puts His righteousness in your spiritual account, so to speak. Your account is full. And everything you need to live a full and productive life is there in a relationship with God.

      The bicep does aid in shoulder flexion too. Sometimes you’ll feel the extra squeeze in the bicep. It’s because the bicep crosses the shoulder joint. That being said, you don’t have to raise it so high that you fatigue the shoulder before the biceps

      “Feeling it” doesn’t mean that much. You really “feel” the biceps when you flex them, doesn’t mean they’re being worked optimally. Biceps cross over the shoulder joint meaning they have a role in shoulder flexion, so slight movement isn’t actually detrimental in any way and can actually help the biceps go through a slightly fuller range of motion, as long as you aren’t swinging the weight because that’s when you can start to involve delts more than what is desired. I’m pretty sure Dr. Mike has a video on the topic, you can look it up if you like

    Using your shoulders isn’t the end of the world as that is a function of the bicep. A good mixup for bicep curls is to bring it up to your face and then super slowly extend your elbows. Makes the concentric easier but you can burn up your biceps on the slow eccentric motion.

  • @mrgrimmer7997
    @mrgrimmer7997 2 роки тому +6

    Elbow flexion is NOT the primary function of the biceps but rather the brachialis muscle that lies deeper in the arm and generates 50% more power for elbow flexion than the biceps brachii. The biceps are mostly involved in supination (aka forearm rotation). It is actually rotation of the forearm from facing away to facing towards the body which activates the biceps and not just elbow flexion as demonstrated.

But they work together, and elbow flexion IS the primary function of the bicep. AND forearm supination is the primary function too. Crazy, how a muscle can have different functions at the same time, right? By your logic dudes can just rotate their forearms all day in the gyms and have Arnold-sized biceps.

    You don’t have to bring the weight all the way up to your face or your neck, even stopping the weight at about a 45-50 degree angle (just past the halfway point) and focusing on the negative motion instead of just jolting the weight up will give you the fattest pump.
    It’s really all personal preference, so if you feel you’re targeting your biceps more by extending your range of motion, that’s fine but if you got short ass arms like me, doing just a bit more than a “half rep” is perfectly fine.

    Your "correct" variation is still very heavy in the shoulders

      Exactly, he's acting like he's lifting 65 lb dumbbells

    This is like when announcers say if the home team wants to win, they have to score more points than the other team.

    Good tip for new people. For anyone who’s been at it for a month or two transition into keeping your elbows perfectly parallel to your body and eachother (as best you can) and then curl up without moving them from said position. If you have access to those bicep machines that you can test your arms on and curl use that as it’ll let you get full range of motion for best precision on the curl but regardless main thing is avoid moving your elbows / shoulders much

    Shoulder flexion is another function of the biceps, so I’m not sure why someone would reduce the movement of a curl to just bending the elbow 🤷

    how are you giving bicep advice when your biceps clearly arent what people think of when they think about building bigger biceps. maybe im just being negative lol

    Im no expert, but im pretty sure you fully extend and then when contracting you dont bring the weights higher than your shoulders

    Question? While I’m doing bicep curls my shoulder moves up a little bit is this right or should my shoulders not move at all

    I would suggest pushing your hips back with a slight anterior tilt to keep your arms infront of your body free.

    the armchair lifters are funny and aren't even realizing that the whole point of the movement is to start from a fully distended position.

    I figured this tip out just from trial and error, less weight more reps.

    I also move my hands between supinated and pronated as I do the rep. I find, for me at least, that it really targets the muscles in my arms

    Good advice. Young men should follow this advice, as well defined biceps are super sexy ☺

    I'm a noob at this stuff but when I do my bicep curls I lock my shoulders so it uses my chest and biceps to do the work
