    I agree with just about everything you stated. But the bicep brachii also has a moment to perform shoulder flexion. If you really want to train the bicep throughout it's true function, introducing some minor shoulder flexion into the movement is a plus for biceps development. 👍

    Hey guys, thanks for this vid. I wasn't happy with how my biceps looked as my shoulders were massive and made my biceps look small. I followed your advice of pulling the shoulder back slightly to disengage it and focus the bicep and it absolutely kicked my ass. I was doing 20kg curls which isn't a lot I know but I am relatively new. With your method, I had to drop to about 10kg in order to do the exercise correctly and I felt a really good burn in my biceps that I hadn't felt before. I saw progress in a week where I had kinda stagnated before.

  • @TheWinndizzle
    @TheWinndizzle 5 років тому +5

    The biceps is a bi-articulate muscle and is a shoulder flexor and responsible for forearm supination.as well. The brachialis is the primary elbow flexor.
    Research shows that the underhand inverted row
    The EZ bar might be preferred over the d-bell variant as it enhances BB and BR EMG activity during the whole range of motion and not only in the eccentric phase.
    Probably because the EZ allows you isometrically induce a supination load

  • @SkidooX23
    @SkidooX23 5 років тому +8

    Definitely agree you don't want to be getting the deltoids engaged on bicep curls if isolation of the biceps is what you're going for. However I still think it puts the muscle under better tension to bring the upper arm to slight forward flexion because of the fact that the biceps long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle (i.e. just about the shoulder joint). So you'd be working the long head just that extra bit due to its secondary function as a minor shoulder flexor.

  • @SodaiGoku
    @SodaiGoku 5 років тому +11

    I’m a bodybuilder. There are 2 main parts to the biceps as well as a 3rd small part, you’re right, but you can’t just use one exercise to fully contract all 3 of them. It takes a number of different movements, one including lifting the elbow up, which is the only way to fully contract the long head portion of the bicep.

    • @SpeakmanDavid
      @SpeakmanDavid 5 років тому

      This, the video that is, is 100% correct. You are probably referring to the 2 different 'heads' of the biceps. It is true that there are 2 heads, but you cannot emphasize one vs. the other. Both heads originate on different parts of the scapula and shoulder joint, but insert together at the elbow ligament. The elbow joint is a simple hinge joint. So it doesn't make a difference what angle you use or what position you get in, the only thing you are doing is varying the degree to which you lengthen the muscle. The elbow joint would have to be more of a ball-and-socket joint in order to be able to emphasize one biceps head over the other. I have been training for 20+ years. I have studied bio-mechanics. I also compete as a natural bodybuilder. I understand that this is not a popular opinion, but it is the truth.

    • @SodaiGoku
      @SodaiGoku 5 років тому

      David Speakman I was just trying to dumb things down for everyone else, you don’t need to explain it to me.
      I trained under and lived with one of the mr Australia’s, as well as had 15 years experience myself. But you’re incorrect stating “you can’t emphasise one head over the other” of course you can, that’s why we use different movements while training the biceps, to put extra emphasis on each head. You can’t independently contract each head, but you can increase the load each is put under. Ever heard of working on your “biceps peak” well, that literally means putting more emphasis on the long head of the biceps to increase the height of the biceps while flexing in the Front Double Biceps pose.

    • @SodaiGoku
      @SodaiGoku 5 років тому

      M Jacobson I literally have the best biceps in my gym, that’s because I know how to train them correctly.
      Like any muscle, it’s about muscle mind connection. You want to be able to feel that muscle squeeze and tense up during the movement, even burn a little, if you can’t then you’re probably not doing the right exercise for that muscle. If anyone ever tells you what exercise to do for a particular muscle, try it for yourself for a while and see how it feels and if you are getting any results. If not, don’t wast your time and energy doing it. Also, start with whichever muscle you feel you need to improve on, not so the one you enjoy doing, because that usually means it probably doesn’t need improving as much as the others.
      I use a wide range of exercises for training the biceps, I think it’s good to keep shocking the muscles, as well as keeping lifting fun and exciting.
      But, if I were to suggest my preferred exercise for putting emphasis on each head of the biceps, these 3 would probably be it...
      - Long Head (outside part): Easybar Preacher Curls. Squeeze with your thumb and index fingers and pull towards your shoulders. If you lift your elbows slightly at the the very end/top of the movement you’ll be able to get a full contraction (This exercise is even better with the Preacher Curl Bicep Machine).
      - Short Head (inside part): Seated Incline Bench DB Curls. Keep your elbows behind your body and squeeze the dumbbells up to your armpits, and focus on squeezing and pulling with your little fingers side of the arm. (Don’t angle the bench to far, somewhere between 45 and 60 degrees is best)
      - Brachialis (small muscle outside of the Biceps): Standing Easybar Reverse Grip “Drag” Curls. This is my personal favourite for this muscle, it will hit a lot of the brachioradialis (top forearm muscle) too, but this is rather unavoidable, as they both work together. But in that angled reverse grip, drag the weight up your body, and as you flex, bring the elbows back behind your body and squeeze up to the bottom of your chest, where your thumb knuckles will touch it, focusing tension just outside of the biceps.
      Hope I helped! 😉

      @@SodaiGoku Agree somewhat. And, yes, I have heard of "working your biceps peak". But just because I have heard of it and some would say you can do it, doesn't mean it is true. You cannot 'work on your biceps peak'. All you can do is train your biceps...hopefully make progress and grow and the "shape" of your muscle is simply genetic...you cannot change that. You cannot "build" a peak if your muscles, genetically, are not shaped that way. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a great example of that. He had a great peak on his right arm, not on his left. Is it because he did different exercises on his right arm vs. his left arm? Did he train them differently? No. It was simply how he was built. Didn't have much of a "peak" on his left biceps.

No verbal or outlandish outbursts, to the point, very clear and I learnt a great deal.
    I do have a question that I have asked other UA-camrs either ignored or I doubt their honesty or actual knowledge but is it possible for a man at 70 to build muscle, as even though doing a lot of weight lifting and ensuring I am eating the right protein nothing is happening.

    I’d say you’re mostly right about avoiding shoulder flexion. However, the long head of the biceps is actually involved in shoulder flexion. A curl, with slight, well controlled, shoulder flexion is a great way to hit that head with a little extra tension and range of motion. However, it does require a bit more of an advanced sense of mind-muscle connection, in order to avoid too much anterior deltoid activation.

    I found that doing curls with my palms facing up, strained the tendons in my wrist and irritated my elbows. And my neighbor said the same thing. And I was just using 25 pound dumbbells. Once I changed to holding them with my palms facing directly towards the side of my body, these problems were eliminated.

    I've been told my biceps are a respectful size.
    In general my arms are measuring at 18-19 inches.
    I'm not looking to get bigger arms,
    However this type of video gives so much feedback to what I might add to my routine.
    I remember in my early 20's I was preacher curling 110lbs.
    Since my hernia repair six years ago I've cut back on the weight I lift.

  • @bradleycurley3061
    @bradleycurley3061 3 роки тому +4

    As I'm sure you're aware the bicep does actually contribute to shoulder flexion, so to maximally shorten the bicep you should involve some degree of shoulder flexion. You can still do this whilst keeping your scapula retracted.
    Whilst I agree that for beginners you should teach them to keep their elbows fixed in one position, I personally prefer using a full ROM for my bicep training ie a slight bit of shoulder flexion at the end of the curl. This allows me to feel a much harder contraction on the biceps and build that mind muscle connection more.
