Clearly they're more efficient as a compound, since they also hit the lats and delts, but if your biceps are specifically lagging, wouldn't a pure isolation exercise be suprior?
Is Blaha right about chinups being better than curls for bicep gains?

Blaha is already retarded enough on his own without making up shit he didn't say
>Blaha is already retarded enough on his own without making up shit he didn't say
He literally said "curls ain't doing shit for my biceps" and that his biceps "don't respond to curls," but that he does them anyway.
Maybe he's flip-flopped again, and thinks curls are better?
Yeah because his biceps are full of necrotic tissue because he used to put oil in them. Doesn't mean he said not to do curls.
If you do them a little bit differently they do hit the biceps pretty hard.
I only do weighted chinups for biceps and I bet I have some of the best arms you've seen despite being natty.
That's proof enough for me.
What's your 1rm?
How do you do fellow clean lifter?
Blaha definitely didn’t come up with that but adding in some static exercises like holding a chin up will burn your shit up. I think a gymnast gave his program and that’s probably where he stole it from
Why is this even a debate? Just do both for fucks sake, no one is forcing you to choose between them
welcome to IST, land of extremes
>you MUST lift either for strength or aesthetics
>you ONLY eat chicken and broccoli
>you're an alcoholic if you look at a picture of beer
one side effect of autism is thinking in extremes and having staunch beliefs on trivial topics
>for biceps gains
No, he's wrong but you should be doing chin ups instead of curls.
i do both. Every two days i do preacher curls with barbell + diamond pushups, other days i do chinups/pullups, thoughts?
>preacher curl with a barbell
Plz don’t tell me you’re using a 45lb bar for preachers
>45lb bar
its only one i have
does he look like the type of bro you should listen to regarding bicep development LOL
Yeah, we should listen to him about glute development though, he clearly knows what he's talking about there
What? He looks like a perfect SS product
Yes that's literally what I'm saying lmao
Pro tip for chin up encouragement. Have your spotter take their thumb and align with it your asshole and chase it so you pull back up. If you fail you'll get your buddy's finger in your ass.
Ive been heavy on pullups and chinpus during the pandemic and my lats and forearms really blew up but my biceps didn't grow much. To this day I still feel like my back and forearms are disproportionately big compared to my triceps/biceps. Don't think it makes sense not to isolate them, in my mind it's the same as saying bench is all you need for triceps
You might think about adding a dedicated arm day
That just sounds bad to me, unless I buy some dumbbells at home I'm not going to go to the gym just for arms. What I do which is perhaps almost equally as retarded is on pull days finish off with triceps and on push days finish off with biceps, I usually end up doing plpx which feels right to me.
If you were competing in a sport I’d agree otherwise I’d presume you’re trying to look good like everyone does, and bringing up lagging body parts sometimes takes a few weeks or months of extra work. But we all usually have that group that sticks out already that we can probably focus less on so it works out. I thought dedicated core training was retarded because I did heavy compounds and over heads but having one for only maybe 16 weeks so far has been a huge boon
>bench is all you need for triceps
According to Rip, it is.
>bench is all you need for triceps
Bench and OHP are all you need for triceps.
ive fallen for this lie and now i have shit arms
my back is huge but my arms tiny
i still do chinups, but now i also do isolation
ive been doing curls (1 day ez bar, 1 day dbs) before compounds for about 2 months and they are growing
Several other youtubers have touched on that point before Blaha. Athlean X, MindPump and Omarsuf have talked about it.
maybe but I don't take advice from retard fraud Special Olympic Forces
Don't know wtf he's talking about.
At my peak I was doing sets of 4 with 80lbs or sets of 20-25 without added weight (yeah I'm a manlet) I did all different grips and tempos you name it.
Arms 12.5 in at a height of 5'6. Still tiny arms.
Jason Blaha is just an echo of other youtubers
Dubs and he will die in his sleep tomorrow
!
Look at blaha, then look at yourself. There is a high % chance that you look better than blaha.
As someone who tried to build biceps with just pull ups and triceps with just dips I can say, they are garbage for building mass in those areas. Just do push downs and BB curls.
