Saw some guy doing 1pl8 +a bit preacher curls the other day and it made me think of those snap webms. The dude is a tank and I see him overhead dumbbell press the 110's regularly so I knew he'd be fine, but still.
>why do people say curling is so dangerous?
because they lift too much weight in wancky positions - every position u can imagine is bad, only i know how to curl to cure tendonitis and i won't tell u how - they injure themselves and that's it, people are dumb
u bot are pathetic though, u can't even immitate stupid ppl
Can someone tell me why I only ever get sore at the bottom of my bicep, near the elbow? I know what tendon pain feels like, it's not that, I just can't seem to get the upper half be sore. Lifts for "upper bicep"?
>why I only ever get sore at the bottom of my bicep, near the elbow?
Seems you activate your brachialis more and it takes all the load instead of biceps. Try to establish mind-muscle connection with the biceps to that you can contract it in isolation from other muscles, like in Kill Bill when Beatrix got out of hospital.
Sounds moronic but this shit works surprisingly well. Best bicep definition possible for natties is ottermode where you do a supinated grip for everything (pullups lat pull downs, etc). Those guys are total DYELs until the shirt comes off. Curls only make sense if you're 15% bf or higher and just need a huge muscle to actually be visible
i hate i hate you fugly powershitters like you would not belive. ever did any manual labor? or "functional" for you is galf foot push from fat gut? any traditional real life physical work uses forearms and elbow flexors heavily. triceps often too was used when scrapping skins or digging tubers. big pecs or lats or thunder thighs are not aesthetic nor athletic nor a thing you would see on prehistoric mammoth hunt or roman legionare.
This, I go to a powerlifting gym (I myself am not a powerlifter, I go there because they have really nice equipment) and everyone does curls. I've heard it helps with bench press stabilizing, plus what lifter doesn't want bigger biceps lol
How long have you been training? I'm about 23 days in, what did you do get your cardio to where it is now, or is it something that just gradually happens over time in training?
>I'm about 23 days in, what did you do get your cardio to where it is now
I ran for 10 years competitively. Not a great resource for advice on cardio. But you'll get better the more you do something. Box until your arms are too sore to continue, then if your legs aren't also dead you can run a bit as a supplement.
>t. has never done manual labor in his life
Biceps (and the elbow flexors in general) are unironically one of the most functional muscles, functionalbros are doing a disservice to humanity by calling curls a "nonfunctional" movement when the opposite is true.
>functionalbros are doing a disservice to humanity by calling curls a "nonfunctional" movement when the opposite is true.
Can you explain how is it functional? I'm honestly curious.
Doing literally any kind of manual labor uses your elbow flexors a TON. Walking around while holding awkward objects, using heavy equipment, moving objects, etc all heavily uses the biceps. I mean strongmen literally get bicep development from atlas stones and other weird objects. Not that this is the best way to develop your biceps, but the fact is that the biceps get highly utilized during those movements. In fact sometimes people tear their fricking biceps off doing stuff like that, which just goes to show how involved the biceps are. While the back and legs are probably the most "functional" muscle groups in general, the biceps rank pretty high up there as well.
>should you train Biceps
Yes >are Biceps the most overrated muscle
Also yes
I can't think of any sports or physical activities besides lifting itself where you need huge biceps. If you just want to look big, then forearms and triceps do the job way better.
The bicep is ridiculously functional for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Trying to prevent armbars or put opponents in guillotines will have your biceps absolutely aching.
Anyone who has ever done manual labor (most people on the planet) would disagree. When I was routinely shlepping heavy stuff my biceps and traps were at their peak.
Humans are much better at pulling than pushing.
Dead wrong. OHP always have bigger numbers on it than bicep curls.
>compound exercise has higher numbers
Wowie you don't say
Guess what moron, deadlift numbers mog everything else
Your argument is wrong and you are stupid. Please go away.
Get fricked dumb Black person
biceps alongside the rest of the elbow flexors are very functional
compare the weight you can overhead press to the weight you can work with on the lat pulldowns or pullups
>biceps alongside the rest of the elbow flexors are very functional
Try to convince me.
Whenever you carry a box you engage all of the muscles of the arm
my lat pulldown absolutely mogs every other upper body lift
I Dip +80 1rep
I Pullup 1rep only With +50
Tell that to OP's dad.
Elbow extensors are stronger than elbow flexors.
Every animal is. Muscles can't "Push". It's a pulling mechanism on the fundamental level. You can pull stuff with rope, but you can't push it.
curls for the male to female girls
i mean its cool to bench 315 but why not have guns to go with it? The car is fast but I want it to look good too.
Enjoy tearing a bicep clean off the muscle when it activates as an antagonist
Good argument, i'll consider it.
you only need sets of 8-12 on biceps. going on a one rep max preacher curl is a good way to tear a tendon. somebody post it.
Saw some guy doing 1pl8 +a bit preacher curls the other day and it made me think of those snap webms. The dude is a tank and I see him overhead dumbbell press the 110's regularly so I knew he'd be fine, but still.
>is the bad guy
>dies
wonderful
>tear a muscle off a muscle
?
can someone elaborate? why do people say curling is so dangerous? whats the exact physiological mechanism?
Its not morons just see gifs of ego lifters curling 200lbs here and freak out
Nah you misunderstand what the guy is saying.
He's saying if you DONT do curls, your biceps will be undeveloped and weak which can cause injuries.
>why do people say curling is so dangerous?
because they lift too much weight in wancky positions - every position u can imagine is bad, only i know how to curl to cure tendonitis and i won't tell u how - they injure themselves and that's it, people are dumb
u bot are pathetic though, u can't even immitate stupid ppl
>i won't tell u how
no you will
then whos the protagonist?
Lats

Huh ok, thanks. I'll do that.
control the eccentric, higher ROM
same. Also I only feel pec doms on the very sides of pecs and never throughout really.
Just do chin ups
Sounds moronic but this shit works surprisingly well. Best bicep definition possible for natties is ottermode where you do a supinated grip for everything (pullups lat pull downs, etc). Those guys are total DYELs until the shirt comes off. Curls only make sense if you're 15% bf or higher and just need a huge muscle to actually be visible
how many?
50+/day
>chinups for biceps
Speedrunning spidermode physique 101 lmao
Just do curls
He doesn't use his biceps to hold his gf up while pounding her pussy. Ngmi
i hate i hate you fugly powershitters like you would not belive. ever did any manual labor? or "functional" for you is galf foot push from fat gut? any traditional real life physical work uses forearms and elbow flexors heavily. triceps often too was used when scrapping skins or digging tubers. big pecs or lats or thunder thighs are not aesthetic nor athletic nor a thing you would see on prehistoric mammoth hunt or roman legionare.
Big arms aren't aesthetic if you don't have big upper body and big legs.
>big legs
Wrong legs that look trained but not mr olympia look good with a big upper body anything else is a squat bigger than your bench cope
False
it's not powerlifters saying this, the people making these shitty threads literally do not lift at all
This, I go to a powerlifting gym (I myself am not a powerlifter, I go there because they have really nice equipment) and everyone does curls. I've heard it helps with bench press stabilizing, plus what lifter doesn't want bigger biceps lol
>plus what lifter doesn't want bigger biceps lol
Olympic weightlifter.
A lot of them have big biceps
A clean is basically an extremely chesty reverse curl
You couldn’t be more wrong, dyel
if phelps trains them there is a reason for it
I have bicepses like this and i don't train them.
He doesn't
lmao wtf is that routine
Intense swimming for several km a day doesn't leave much need to train anything else with weights. It's that good an exercise.
Phelps trains them so he can shovel more pancakes into his fatty face
I hate doing curls
I did 10 rounds of boxing sparring yesterday. My biceps are actually sore.
How long have you been training? I'm about 23 days in, what did you do get your cardio to where it is now, or is it something that just gradually happens over time in training?
>I'm about 23 days in, what did you do get your cardio to where it is now

So you can get better at pullups, the most functional lift of all time.
I do muay thai and this bad boy is very useful for clinching.
If you spent a day of your life lifting sheep over a fence you'd know bicep curls are actually very functional.
Its one of THE most visible signs you lift when you wear a shirt, you moron.

literally any contact sport
>i want to hurt other people
Get out.
contact = reality
no one cares if you are good at basketball or tennis. women want to frick dudes who can provide.
arm chokes are all biceps, you want that squeeze bro
>Biceps the most overrated muscle
why do armlets keep parroting this cope?
hook- triceps,
uppercut - biceps
hook - legs obliques chest
uppercut - legs
>the primary function of humans is to multiply
>the primary function of biceps is to fet you laid
>’unfuntional’
sage

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
are you fricking moronic Black person?
You have never grappled, move boxes, or climbed up onto something.

For some reason I hate doing biceps. If I'm doing 4x8 rows, latt pulldown, pullups, close grip pullups do I even need to do them?
>responsible for at least 50% of lower arm motility
>unfunctional
kek
TO MOG
Am I gonna make it anons?
177 cm, 75 kg
My man you literally use it to eat
I use jaw and tongue for it. How do you eat with your biceps?
