    Today I tried to do pelican curls exactly as shown here, but I’m not strong enough to do the 8 second negative. Mine last about 3-5 seconds. But seriously man, holy shit! My biceps are killing me now!! I can’t believe how difficult they are!

    For anyone doing the pelican curls: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a mirror or a phone in front of you watching your shoulders and your elbows so they don’t flare out like he mentioned. I developed a major imbalance in the formation of my bicep because I was using one side more and didn’t even know.

    That was perfect mate. I don’t know why I didn’t see this last year but the timing is perfect now. My Physio has recommended I work on bicep strength as I have a slight injury in the bicep and some soreness in the brachioradialis from always doing prone grip pulling so I have temporarily switched to supine grip pulling to relieve stress on the forearm and load the bicep to the required amount to rehabilitate and prevent further injury. I will be sure to pick an intensity that works for me next week. 👍🏻

      You know what? I never really intentionally focused directly on my biceps at the first few months of my training, but i noticed that straight arm exercises like the planche, back lever and iron cross did a lot more for my biceps, which at the time I rarely performed chin ups or even bicep curling in that time frame.

  • @BlackVirtue
    @BlackVirtue 4 роки тому +1

    That's what I came to myself after combining static and dynamic exercise methods.
    I do pullups with slow negatives around 20 seconds going down. Very time effective, you can only do 2-3 reps per 3-4 sets, and your muscles are toast. And it's way more efficient for the muscle developement, because when you do an exercise fast, you skip and cheat unintentionally, and don't stress muscles for every degree of the movement.
