"Chin Ups Are A TERRIBLE Bicep Exercise" 🤡🤦‍♂️ 

Look at male gymnasts and how big their biceps is. And they never touched weights.

Maurice Mentzer said that it's better than any curl for biceps

Both chin-ups and curls are great for biceps idk why idiots keep putting them against each other. One is isolation the other is compound. Not that complicated

Watch Alex Leonidas. He depended in chinups for bicep growth, but it was only before adding curls that his biceps grew.

Yeah chinups do help but don’t rely on them as your main builder people who saw great results on their biceps from doing them are either genetically blessed in the biceps or the gymnasts that are blasting gears Also the reason most calisthenic guys have great biceps is bc most of them are shredded and being shredded shows the separations in the biceps which gives an illusion of a bigger muscle

My cousing is a gymnast and his arms are as big as my torso 😳 I asked him the secret for bigger biceps And he told me *chin ups bro*

Gymnasts have big arms becuase all they all day is hang and so chin ups all day , u have to match their intensity to get the same results. Also big bushels need big compound lifts but smaller muscles are better with isolation

This is according to gymnast logic... doesn't seem people realize this.

He might be getting more out of chin ups if he was doing actually doing chin ups instead of.... whatever he was doing.

So your saying chinups are so good bc you can load them? Yea well thats basically what progressive overload is on a curl. I like your takes usually but those one is a miss.

Glad to see martin is going a cross over on a low to high fly

They are so stupid, my biceps grew bigger when i added chin ups in my workout routine

he did the curls standing up tho

Preach zaddy Martin 😮

That’s why Liam Edmunds rides a roller coaster without a seatbelt standing up in order to engage the core

I grew my 16 inch biceps with curls and preachers

Mike mentzer already said this year's ago

I've seen better results in my arms when I stopped doing isolation exercises(mostly) and focused on compound lifts. Especially Pull ups and Dips

I dunno bro his arms are bigger then yours

Damn, he knows

I learn from people with the desired results . Gymnasts in my case.. I like the form.

Buddy, he has bigger biceps then you so clearly he has a better program 😂

Rare good factual video from this guy👍

Bro the „You’re loading your biceps heavily“ isn‘t even an argument because your lats are the muscle primarily moving the weight, and you can‘t just rely on compounds to build your arms

So some 17 year old who's been lifting for 6 months knows more about bodybuilding than an actual bodybuilding

You know those cuts in the vid are because he had to take a break after 3 half reps 😂

Look at the body builder’s form on the pull and that’s pretty much calls it. I counted Zero! People like that is what the pull down and other machines are made for. Poor fellow probably has never felt his back engaged in a pull before.

Here at athletic bodybuilding we train movements not muscles. So here's how you butcher a chin-up to emphasise the biceps more 😂😂 Also, chin-ups are great for biceps, but the stimulus to fatigue ratio is nowhere near as good as a curl. No one has ever said, I can't bicep curl today, my lats are still sore from yesterday. No reason not to incorporate both.

Alex leonidas got a 4 plate chinup and didnt get the arms he wanted. He had to CURL. You cant maximize f you dont emphasise and prioritise. Also i know that cos youre weaker than some functional people like people like Alex leonidas that you always prioritise load. Load isnt everything, ESPECIALLY when that load is being distributed to the biggest muscles vs the small one ur "trying to hit". Itll still definitely build muscle, but relying on a movement that builds the bigger muscle as a priority to hit the smaller muscle wont replace curls or chinups AND curls. If you really want to get purely biceps from a chinup, drop the ego and curl your hands to behind your neck or elevate your heels and actually curl with no shoulder movement

It works your biceps anyway, still why hate it. Better substitute for if you get bored of “normal”curls 💪

That is why Leon Edwards curls Martin after bedroom cardio with Mario

Isnt this the same guy who said to rest your ass on a bench to do leg raises?

Look at athletes and gymnasts, they're all fitted with big biceps, why? Because of chin-ups, pull-ups, and bodyweight movements that always include their arms, especially chin-ups, since it's like a curl, but you're curling yourself up. Hence, it's a superior method, but not the ONLY one. Like Rios said, always have a variety. It creates better opportunities for strength and growth.

The only time i don't agree with mario. Yea that would happen if you don't go for a full range of motion. Just like a pull up, if you go for a full range of motion then it'syour lats doing most of the work.

bro your form with low to high cable fly can be improved...the way you're doing it impacts front delts more..

This is why Leon Edwards does chin ups, so he can easily slide smoothly inside MartinRios and MaeioRios videos

Because arm compounds are pull-ups and bench press, no need to do a compound movement specifically for the arms, just do arm isolation while doing your normal back and chest work

Chin ups for my biceps. I'll stick to curls

Yes, because arm day is consisted of compound movements like chest press for triceps and chin ups for biceps. It’s not like you did these on other days or something like that or something stupid like chest day or back day😂

I don't get this asinine thing of pitting two movements against each other when they can just do both. I personally do curls and chin-ups, and heck, even pull-ups -_-

Nice gut bro

Facts

This is why Luke Messi does chin-ups

In conclusion, just do both

My biceps never grew until I started doing chin ups, the only curls I like now are hammer curls🤣

God 🔥

Hello

Yeah you still use your back better to do a curl and chin-ups combined

Chin ups are goated for biceps

You're really loud for someone with the most mid build ever

These bodybuilders have never seen ian barseagle, dude is 95kg and his biceps and triceps are only made of chinups and dips

And his bicepd still bigger than yours tho 🤣

Half of ur videos is shitting on machines tho. 😐

Chinups activate 80% of the Bicep while curls activate around 60%

You know nothing about bodybuilding

Compound moves are trash to build gains, chin ups are for back
