Don't Do Biceps Curls Like This ❌ 

Hey the new v-shred! Lol

Seriously squid games?

we call it balls to nose

Hi had a quick question what would you think is better going for lesser weights or having a slightly bad form because in my case I don’t wanna go any lower because on my last two I’m literally pulling that sh up for 4-5 seconds and, completing my set one rep behind muscle failure. I guess you kinda brought tangos up but if you or someone else could give some clarification that’d be cool

Remember guys being muscular doesn't mean you know everything about working out

Do you know the name for this Pink Soldiers remix? I am having trouble finding it...

@@smashb3766 but thanks for the Sandstorm, all these years and I NEVER knew what that song was called! 😅

LITERALLY

It sounds silly, but it’s amazing how many people don’t use the muscle they’re supposed to be growing.

A simple idea but hard for many to do

It's actually hard to do with how supported by other bigger and more used muscles almost in any position

Simple but not easy

@@ghostflame9211 I do all kind of curl.From bicep to shoulder

Yess!!!

My thoughts exactly

Someone should re-edit the clip and send it to him.

Yeah lol I’m smol but still noticed.

I thought the same thing. Then I look a closer look and realized that this guy 100% looks like he takes steroids, so it’s no wonder he can’t even do bicep curls correctly while having suspiciously balloon-y arms.

He fully does too I swear I've never done my curls like this anyways

Using the shoulders on the final portion of the curl isn't a problem. Doctor Mike and Jared from Renaissance Periodization go over this in detail in their channel. The main problem is that he needs to fully extend his arms and keep his elbow a bit forward.

​@@habibsspirit yoo can I get the sauce from that dr mike vid

It's actually correct to use your shoulder movement, as long as the shoulder isn't used to "swing" the weight in to motion. The biceps doesn't just end at your shoulder, it actually extends into your shoulder. So if you want to fully strech and contract the whole biceps fiber, you go all the way up, which includes a shoulder movement.

​@@CrniWuk damn all this time I've been trying to keep my shoulders and arms as straight at possible without moving them, you're telling me I've been doing it wrong fir all this time haha😅

Missing out on a really good contraction/stretch at the top of the movement for both muscle groups by doing so.

Yesss I just did that today. Locking my elbow I felt it more because I used to flare it out

Thats exactly how bicep curls should be done so greatttt

Exactly. I find this very effective...and tagets the biaceps effectively But i also do the good form in the video.

@@urmommmmmmmm897facts this clown in this vid was still moving his elbows. To really test ur true bicep strength keep ur elbows still. The way this dude shows in the vid never the way i was taught this in my weightlifting class this dudes a cocky clown

yea totally agree

The bicep does aid in shoulder flexion too. Sometimes you’ll feel the extra squeeze in the bicep. It’s because the bicep crosses the shoulder joint. That being said, you don’t have to raise it so high that you fatigue the shoulder before the biceps

Totally bro

@@aidans_journey02 that "sometimes" is not necessary for hypertrophy. the moment your whole arm moves and not just your forearms, your shoulder muscles will aid on carrying the weight.

If you want the perfect bicep peaks perform strict curls and contract it up to your chest and see how your bicep burns

lol

he's correcting the elbow flexion portion of the movement, if you actually look at his other videos, he does perform the correct movement and advises towards that

Post physique Parker

@@smartsimplefit physique pics are irrelevant when he’s stating facts He’s not making fun of anyone’s physique, just the form which is indeed not correct

@@thetf8142 correct according to what standard? 'Drops mic"

Well a lot of people dont extend their arms fully. Wether that on a standing dumbell curl, preacher curl or machine curls. Why? Cus you can curl more and people love their ego.

@@SyncBoxer You definitely don't workout in my gym lol.

@@SyncBoxer Eh have you been to a random commercial gym with skinny teenage dudes with no knowledge? Honestly I see more people with worse form than what he's showing here than better.

@@SyncBoxer I’ve seen one of my friends this was a while back he did curls like this he doesn’t anymore but ppl do this

ive seen tons of people in my gym.. they dont straighten out

💯💯

I do half curls because im an arm wrestler so it's not really ego and i do curls with full range too but i do it with lightweight and fast reps for speed and endurance because i usually go to failure with full range but yea overall doing half curls is not really an ego lift... unless you do it like an idiot

The Shepherd’s Desire ‘The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life’ -John 10:10 What is the desire of the Good Shepherd for His sheep? His desire for His flock is for them to flourish. He wants them to be well-fed and cared for. He wants them to be content and satisfied. Jesus said, “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep” (John 10:10-11) However, this abundant life that Jesus spoke of may not necessarily be a long one. But it certainly is a full one. Medical science has had breakthroughs of late that might extend our lives. But only Jesus Christ can add life to our years. It is the Good Shepherd’s joy to lead us to “green meadows” and “beside peaceful streams” (see Psalm 23:2) Jesus not only promises life beyond the grave. He also said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10) Thus, like David we can say, “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need” (Psalm 23:1) Contentment is a great thing to have in our lives. The apostle Paul said, “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:11-13) It isn’t the idea of being content because we have a lot; rather, it’s being content regardless of what we have. As followers of Jesus Christ, our contentment doesn’t come from what we have; it comes from Who we know. We know this is true because there are so many miserable, wealthy people in the world today. We read about them all the time. Their lives are falling apart. Their marriages are falling apart. They’re battling addictions. And they are not content. But we can find contentment in a relationship with the Good Shepherd. Jesus said, “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32) And Hebrews 13:5 tells us, “Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you’” God isn’t austere and angry and reluctant to work in our lives. He loves us and has a tender heart toward us. And it gives Him pleasure to give to us His kingdom and His blessing. When you put your trust in Christ, not only does He forgive you of your sins, but He also puts His righteousness in your spiritual account, so to speak. Your account is full. And everything you need to live a full and productive life is there in a relationship with God.

I was told this as well.

Thank you. My back is not in good shape, for now.

the second one has much better elbow flexion

​​@@goosefraba2385the rep itself is poor tho... he's still swinging... Why are the elbows moving at all. You've just copied what the guy said in the video to back him up 😂

​​@@goosefraba2385elbows should be locked for the actual correct form simple as

That’s because this dummy is still using his shoulders to swing the weights up in both example. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

@@Poopyturdy the biceps aid in shoulder flexion? If u were to keep your elbows completely stiff you’d be sacrificing rom leading to less mechanical tension therefore not optimizing gains. This guy isn’t at all a dummy. He knows wut he’s talking ab.

@@trenhen4311 your completely wrong.

@@Poopyturdy you’re* and no I’m not lmao it’s simple human anatomy. This isn’t exactly arguable bro.

@@trenhen4311 who cares for spelling this is RU-vid and this is the last time I’ll say it. You and this dummy are completely wrong. He’s showing an incorrect bicep curls twice. There’s people out there with actual knowledge. This guy isn’t one of them.

It wasnt a swing, it was the completion of the curl. The long head of the biceps attached on the shoulder, so you need to finish the curl where he had it. Or do some spider curls, high cable curls to replicate the same.

He was

ong noone uses shoulders unless its like the last 3 reps.

​@@pyromaniac999 i heard ppl saying that involving the shoulders isn't a bad thing since part of ur bicep extents into the shoulder but I'm not sure how viable that is

@@keithfields1756 not at all. it uses your biceps less and gives you more support.

I see it in the gym all the time with beginners. I'm guessing someone told them it's advantageous to keep tension on your biceps, so they refuse to straighten their arms.

​@@pyromaniac999Putting anything "on g" is blasphemy and more than enough for you to cause hostility towards God. You don't need to use His name to prove anything to anyone!

I bet you have chicken biceps compared to his

Yes, you solely focus on just the bisep. Which is what you want with any muscle group.

“Feeling it” doesn’t mean that much. You really “feel” the biceps when you flex them, doesn’t mean they’re being worked optimally. Biceps cross over the shoulder joint meaning they have a role in shoulder flexion, so slight movement isn’t actually detrimental in any way and can actually help the biceps go through a slightly fuller range of motion, as long as you aren’t swinging the weight because that’s when you can start to involve delts more than what is desired. I’m pretty sure Dr. Mike has a video on the topic, you can look it up if you like

The biceps also flex the shoulder. Without adding a little shoulder flexion, the biceps don't get a full contraction.

Only newbies & influencers trying appeal to newbies keep arms perfectly by their sides. Lifting them up makes your biceps contract Harder which is why everybody with real world experience does is

It's just an excuse for a video at this point

Please come to my gym. Almost everyone does this.

Yea, we already know you hacen't been in a gym in your life. Now stay quiet dyel

yup, make them biceps wider

The tendons in my elbows start hurting after a couple sets of curls, prevents me from pushing my actual muscles, any fix? It is mainly the arm that I used for throwing in baseball that was often in pain.

Missing out on full contraction. The bicep not only flexes the elbow, but the shoulder too.

For real lol his elbows are moving way too much. I was told by my trainer at my gym and many other people that your elbows should stay to your sides and not move forward too much if you're specifically trying to target your biceps

Just don't swing your elbows and don't straighten out at the bottom of the rep. Easy form fix.

​@inyrui your trainer is incorrect. The bicep crosses the shoulder joint, meaning the bicep assisists shoulder flexion.

Yep, Sean dropped the ball on this one.

learnt that on athlean-x?

It is better to build a peak but less stress at the bottom of the rep.

I would suggest keeping a supinated grip throughout, gives a more of a barbell curl feel, and it gives me better pumps

@Oldwhale401 no.

Well, what you're doing gets a longer contraction, as you are stretching the biceps brachi more. So by all means keep doing it like that.

​@@liamjohnson7887"AND THEN SWINGING THE WEIGHT FORWARD WITH YOUR SHOULDERS" Are you deaf or licking RU-vidrs' balls is just a hobby to you?

It does lower intensity, so it is technically slightly worse. But if you have time and still preform well balanced reps then it shouldn't matter much.

Takes longer but is better overall, since you focus more on the form, leading to a better workout.

@@Jakob-nu2hc you can still train each arm just as intense as doing both at the same time it just takes longer doing them one at a time

Actually a little shoulder movement is perfectly fine, the main thing is you get a good bicep stretch and almost lock your elbows out

Kinesiology has left the chat. Biceps do perform shoulder flexion, abduction.

The shoulder moves naturally with the biceps. His whole point is to not actively use the delts to aid with the lift

Show me the part where he says don't move your shoulder during curls.

​@@liamjohnson7887 I was saying that it's not exactly clean, even if he's absolutely right that one is much better than the other. I was pointing out the minor flaw in the correct one, namely the upper arm was still unnecessarily moving, swaying for "assistance". Thing is, he's not training for the Olympics so it doesn't need to be flawless. 98% is fine and way better than 99% of lifters.

Ya reckon?

If you think this isn't natty you have a very low standard of what good gains look like lol

You dropped this 🤡 I'm sorry for your mother, it must be awkward to have a restard child

True

Scott/ Preacher

But then you miss out on having that bit of shoulder flexion, meaning missing out on Full contraction. The bicep flexes the shoulder as well as the elbow.

truth

how would you train this function most effectively?

@@SandboxerOfficial By using dumbbells instead of a bar and rotating on the way up. So start with your hands by your sides or even better fingers pointing behind you (pronation) and twist on the way up so that your fingers point towards your face (supination).

Dude, your whole comment is like 90% BS. You're basically telling us that biceps and brachialis are working separately and you have to work out them separately by doing different exercises? But they work together, and elbow flexion IS the primary function of the bicep. AND forearm supination is the primary function too. Crazy, how a muscle can have different functions at the same time, right? By your logic dudes can just rotate their forearms all day in the gyms and have Arnold-sized biceps. Gee, I wonder why it's not happening

@@KeksimusMaximus One muscle can't have two primary functions. Primary means first. It implies that you give a numbering to functions. But two muscles can have the same movement as their primary function.

Wow you’ve added so much insight

That is spot on... preacher curls are great for bicep isolation. You cant go wrong its just bicep all the way.

@@TvonToby3254 thanks for the tip bro

@@relaxxzz9956 Your welcome lad I use to do preacher curls at the end of my arms workout when my muscles were near enough exhausted so didnt worry to much about not completing the lift. I would carry on untill complete exhaustion and couldnt even lift it slightly. I was doing Jay Cutlers work out regime when he was Mr Olympia I think I cant remember. My advise if your going to follow any of the greats pick one who's roughly your height & focus on nutrition, stay away from the juice and whey you dont need it if your willing to sweat.
