Bigger biceps is just half the equation if you want bigger arms. I can show you how to build bigger arms in just 22 days! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6QgR6Tjle7g.html
Hi bro need yr help, no matter hw tougg i workout my body isnt able to grab muscles. And if i stop gym within a week mu all body comes back to normal with no muscles at all. O hv very thin and lean body structure. Am i build differently and wont b able to make muscles?
I did this today! Wow what a difference! Thanks man. I was 100% guilty of using too much weight and too much involvement of the delts! I went down in weight and did the movement exactly like you demonstrated and my biceps are screaming! Excited to see the gains which I know are coming now!
I’m definitely going to try this! It seems that over the years instead of getting better with the curl I’ve become more sloppy which led to fewer gains. Once I get over COVID I’m going to reset my XV-10/Max Size program and apply this technique. Thank you Jeff and Happy Holidays to you and the family!!
Definitely will give this a try. Every time I use dumbbells, my shoulders bulk up too much and not enough on the biceps, so I must be using the wrong technique. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks...I was noticing that my biceps were getting smaller, while my forearms and delts have been looking really nice...I'm going to start today...👍👍👍
Very helpful, been trying to get bigger biceps for over a year now, and I've been doing a lot of the things he says at wrong. Definitely gonna start trying this. I've also found that since my hernia, my body naturally wants to use my lower abdominals to do even the most basic of things like turn a doorknob, which also can't be good.
Wow! I actually won the give-away this time!!!!!! I just hope that this program stays with me as I've not returned to the gym yet and been focusing on calisthenics,and still learning how the website works,anyways super grateful for this and going to buy the Xero program in return for this 😊
Jeff this is the best bicep video ever. I'm sure now I'll see some growth. It's always the tiny mistakes that hold us back. You absolutely know what those mistakes are. Thank you very much for helping us to make our lives better.
I started out with 10 pounds for about 2 weeks and once I can do every kind of exercise at least 20 reps perfect form I know that’s when I can move up and now I’m at 15. I think I’ll stay here for about a month and a half until I perfect my form and can do at least 20 reps with every exercise then I will go to 20 lbs etc. i’m going to be so cut. Because I noticed at first I couldn’t do the 15 pound and I left alarm doing the lateral raises. And now I can actually do it!!!!!
Completely agree! I was curling 45lb dumbells, but felt a lot of the stress on my forearm mostly. Cut down to the 20s doing 12-15 reps then building from there. 12-15 reps fast hard reps does the trick. Same goes for barbell curl, I do lowest of maybe 10 reps on it.
@@bernardb.brownsr5918 yes this is good advice for heavy training, and faster eccentrics can increase a chance for injury. That's why I reserve it for lighter weights, but also by fast eccentrics I don't mean just letting the weight drop...I mean still controlling the weight but not intentionally increasing the negative. It's exercise dependant as well, depending on how much weight you can lift in that rep range. Probably not the smartest idea on lifts like the bench but alternatively it's also not smart to control the eccentrics on a heavy deadlift either
@@fullsend6344 it's a stress fracture in the lumbar spine. Having it with a bulging disc makes it almost impossible to fix and I'm a 17 year old athlete
@@johnk4193 but ill also suggest that there are very few chances that he ever makes a video about it so try and explore your own way!! It will be good for you for sure
@@fullsend6344 yes I know the chances are slim but I'm just trying my luck cuz I feel helpless. I've had this since I was 10. Pain keeps coming and going. I was in rehab for the last 4 months, played 3 matches and here I am again with pain
I was just about to do a bicep workout when I came across this vid on my feed. I decided to check my form in the way that you suggested before I stared and man what a difference! My shoulder placement was fine but I totally would curl my wrist forward at the top. I changed my form just as you said without moving my wrists and my biceps are now burning in a way that I haven't felt from this exercise before. Thank you bicep-god Jeff 👍 Gotta get back to it...
I've been using an Arm Blaster to hold my elbows at my side and to keep them from moving backwards as I curl. I'm about to try the method you've shown. I've never paid attention to the position of my wrists before. This might be just what I've been looking for to tweak my bicep work out. Thanks for the tip.
Same haha, thought about it yesterday and how my elbow slightly moves forward when I do heavier curls. Dropped the weight a bit and found that it made my bicep burn.
Great vid, Jeff. However, I just wanted to ask, other than the things in your 3 vids about imbalances, is there anything else that hardgainers in particular should do to get rid of them?
Yes I am going to do it your way. Thank you for adding Science to workouts and by the way thanks also for your other videos, especially "The 10 Greatest Home Exercises of All Time- -HIT EVERY MUSCLE-" which I use almost daily.. as a result, my strength has sky rocketed. Thanks again Jeff. Stay strong
Another simple trick is use an adjustable bench, have it near vertical with a bit of an angle, stand behind it and have your arm going down the bench, and do your curls on there, the bench will stop your elbow from wanting to come back and 'cheat' the rep, it completely isolates the bicep muscle, start with your weakest arm and go till failure, then pick up a lighter weight and go till failure again, then swap arms and do the same amount on your strongest arm. Do 4 sets of this and your biceps will be popping.
It decreases the repetitions but it does them with better technique in the execution what you are looking for and the tension increases excellent advice Jeff worth gold....😉😉
Absolutely right. I wish I had seen this two years ago. I was bar curling 90lbs. It was OK on the negative, but I was "swinging" into the positive contraction, which meant I was relying on my shoulder. Well guess what... shoulder tendon issue which has taken forever to heal. So... follow Jeff's advice not only to get bigger biceps but to avoid injury to your shoulder. You'll be happier too ! :)
So helpful. I have been doing this wrong the whole time (per your example at the start of the video). I now have severely hurt forearms- even with very light weights they are the first to engage, and they just emit pain. Can you please do a video on how to correct this, or work around this? I haven't worked on in 2 months, and doing PT on forearms and elbows 2x week, but things not getting much better. I think I've done them in by using heavy weights and bad form for many years.
