I dont agree on the first tip. Since your biceps longhead attaches to the shoulder joint and therefore gives you a better contraction when you move your upperarm forward just a tad. Of course swinging will never get you big biceps
I think these are the best tips I’ve heard when it comes to biceps training, there isn’t really much to do when it comes to curling yet many people screw it up. Great video as always, thanks Joe!
@@HypertrophyCoach my bis and tris are my stubborn parts what type of split should i choose and what do i do to make my arms proportional to my upper body
i have a question for the first tip. one of the functions of the bicep is also anteflexion right? also the insertion is in the shoulder so if you want to bring origin close to that you should move your upper arm a little bit. hope to hear your opinion on this one. underrated channel!!
@@teovukelic5046 @Teo Vukelić Just googled it and found out active insufficiency happens in biarticular muscles when the proximal joint is close to it's end range. However, in the case of bicep curls, shoulder flexion is so far away from the end range so I am not sure if ‘active insufficiency’ a proper explanation. Anyway, thank you dude as I have never heard of active insufficiency before and now I know more!
I'm one of the guys that do the extra movement at the top @1:07 I get a much stronger burn there for some reason. Same thing when doing curls on a preacher bench. I assumed its because you're bringing it closer to coracoid process(i think, not sure). Will have to try it without that extra movement some more. Thanks for the video
It's just a sensation feeling you get when you shorten the bicpes more. When you elevate the arm on purpose, what happens is active insufficiency which is not good for muscle growth. You can google "biceps active insufficiency" for more explanation
Awesome vid Joe. Concise, clear evidence based content and love the wit 😂. Us Aussies love this style - will def share your brilliant content and platforms. Thanks mate ✌️
Adding more days helped me. And lower weight. I do biceps about 3 to for times a week. 1 dedicated day. And then about every other day I do about 4 to 5 sets of bicep work. Since they recover fast you can train more frequently.
Reasonable good question here. As you've said in the past, muscles in shortened positions are weaker than lengthened. So wouldn't you want your elbows to come up and work a little front delts for the sake of equal load on your biceps? I figure it has less torque the more than upper arm comes up. It would target both ranges of motion with equal load. I just think it's better this way than to keep the upper arm and elbow stiff. There's too much load at the shortened bicep position
In fact ilove ur videos ,alot of knowledge ,idid this first workout without arm blaster by slightly bent over and no momentum actually isaw good results
you mentioned train biceps in line aloong side body and also arm behind torso and and also preacher curl arm in front of you also spyder curls train all three positions same workout?
I do two "super sets" whenever I work my biceps, basically three different grips using dumbbells, I do less reps on the second set as part of my cooldown. I'm gonna start doing them against a door just to see how it feels, this was a great video.
Great video; do you have any options for people that don’t have the money for the variety of dumbbells that you have; Just easy curl bar with weights exchange . 👍
Hi Joe. I have an issue maybe you can help? I have a strain in my right forearm. I’m also in a deficit and am now estimated slightly less than 10 percent body fat. Maybe lower, as everything but my glutes are popping a lot now. Could being really lean do a number on my connective tissue? How can I get rid of the pain? I would rather not stop training my bicep completely, but is there any nutrition you recommend that can help me heal? Even a 20lb dumbell does not feel very good. I know the common sense is “stop!!” But anything else I can do? Thanks for your content.
Hey coach, do you have any recommendations for someone that has a poor Mind muscle connection with biceps? Should I approach arm training the same way regardless?
😂 it that the only joint in your body that isn’t designed to go through some ROM it has available? And that’s the credentials? 22inch arms? So if someone with 23inch arms says something different, that makes them right and you wrong? Got it. All makes a ton of sense.
