Thanks Sean! My biceps shrivelled up and died yesterday! I can’t wait to get back at it.

gotta give credit where credit is due, your exercise tips are on point

Others during exercise: 😖😣 Sean : 🗿🗿

That narrow curl completely fucks up the wrists, the option I've been using for years (with great results) is the narrow grip with the EZ bar, way more comfortable

Just wanted everyone to know, I did not get a vshred ad before this video. (Tears of happiness)

these shorts are insanely good. great editing and info display

Simple no nonsense fitness advice, love it!

I wish I had seen this video yesterday Sean. I did a single banded waiter curl with four 5lb plates sellotaped together whilst balancing one leg on a bench WITH an inward grip and now my arms are literally just triceps. I really could have used this.

My tendonitis flared up just watching this 😅

thx sean! those veins want to get the hell out of your arms

This gentleman always provides sound advice. -Ron Swanson

Thank You kind sir

What about using an EZ bar? Wrists are properly angled then.

Finally Sean you are back man!!! Thank God!

Love your content Sean! What about using an ez bar for the narrow curl?

It's crazy how alot of people can't logically think like this. Thanks Sean, for saving those who are in need of help ❤❤

Good video, to the point and the right info!

This makes a difference when you are solidly intermediate and can't add much progress on barbell curls. If you are still curling the bar or barely more, sticking to the barbell for the progressive overload isn't a bad option IMO. Personally I built my barbell curl to 105x8 before I decided that I was plateauing and the stress on my joints was now greater than the stimulus.

Find someone that loves you the way Sean loves cables.

Sean Nal!💪🏼

Killing my gains 😂

This is the first helpful video I see of him every other one I had no clue they were sarcastic until reading the comments 😂 I was like "this dude is crazy but I gotta watch more"

Damn Sean is shredded!

Keep up the great content. Learning alot

Very good tip, i got bad tendinitis in my elbow from doing internally rotated curls

Thanks for restoring my muscles from atrophy.

My guy looks like an npc doing activities in the background of a game while he shows how to do the exercises.

I do this, but not THAT narrow. My hands are a bit to the inside, and the only reason is that i can actually feel my biceps working, whereas with a shoulder width grip i feel it more in my connective tissue. My plan with this is every 6-8wks i will move my hands two fingers further to the outside until my hands are eventually straight. That way i can work my mind-muscle connection towards that point of a straight grip. I havent felt much stress, but i do lock my stance in with my glutes and core stabilizing me, my shoulders back and chest up, that way i feel it entirely in my biceps. Ive been progressing in reps and weights consistently.

Close grip barbell curls is the recipe for injured wrists. Just go shoulder width

Heard this too late. My shoulders and elbows are already fucked

Thanks bro!!💪😎😎💯

This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique

Thanks much for this, Sean! I always alternate between the two but now I'll keep em apart! 💪

I do these with ez bar those are quite good

Ikr People keep trying to reinvent the wheel...just stick to the basics, they work...

great editing skills too for your videoes.

I been doing inner and outer bar curls for over 28 years and no pain or injuries. I recommend to do both on the preacher bench. Then end it off with reverse grip.

How about the ez grip bar?

Ngl i agree with using dumbbells or cables for me i used dumbbells more often and am getting results alhamdulilah ✨💪🏽

I remember this happening to me when I first started lifting, but naturally over time I felt my delts more and more until now, it's 100% delt pump/burn

This kills my wrists. just can’t do them anymore. I’m 48 and I’ve been lifting since age 13. There’s just some lifts I avoid, but still get after it.

I can't understand someone doing it like that neither have I seen anyone

My wrist hurts just from watching you grip the barbbell via close grip

Great advice thank you for saving my wrists

I like the sitting and leaning forward dumbbell curls cuz I can force my elbow to stay in position, but I didn’t know if that was “good form” until seeing that clip at the end and felt reassured

Credit to Sean for spitting facts and calling out bullshiters. While bullshiters continue to call him out with further bullshit.

I ❤ you vids🎉

And that’s why Leon Edwards is the most aesthetic man on the face of the solar system

these goofy online coaches are the type that you will end up not getting your goals done with.

Preacher curl, dumbbell curl, hammer curl, 1-2 sets each to failure, 2-3 min rest at least Thx Sean

That narrow curl fd up my biceps. Never done them since

it'll damage the small piece of cartilage in the ulnar side of your wrist. I hurt mine that way and was lucky I didn't need surgery, but it took nearly a year for the pain to completely go away

I don't use barbells for curls, it makes my wrist hurt.. With dumbells the motion is more natural. It's just what works for me, I'm an amatuer.

Am I tripping or Sean looks more shredded than usual

My wrists hurt just by watching that narrow grip on the barbell curl 😢

definitely think it's better to use dumbells since the bb can be risky on the wrist at higher weights from my experience

works great for me! I use a very close grip and normal grip

Ay bro you bulked up or cut or something ? Lookin better than ever!

Though, a closer grip helps target the long head of the biceps, which makes sense

yeah the best exercises are those that follow the natural path of your joints

Awesome 😎💯😎 thanks You are so inspiring and taunting and motivational and more. Great job 👌🆗🥵 Congratulations 🎉!

I never do narrow grip on a bar. Hurts my wrists. Plus it’s unnatural.

Bruh that curl form

Just blast hammer curl variations. More practical movement anyway.

The goat

Straight bars make my wrists hurt.

Is it okay to train biceps, the day after back? For context my training split is: Monday: chest Tuesday: legs Wednesday: shoulders Thursday: back Friday: arms

Mike mentzer been saying that since 1973

Literally just scrolled to this after watching tom platz explain how his bicep tore 😂

Narrow grip targets the long head for better peak development, I alternate between narrow and wide grip

Variation. Normal grip, close grip, wide grip, reverse grip.

wait, that isnt KILLING MY GAINS??? nah ah

Good to know

Bicep is gods protection🙏

Always avoid internal rotation unless you specifically exercise your rotator cuffs by performing Waist Level Rotator Cuff Pulls or Face Pulls.

Hey Sean, looking into high altitude mask. What is your opinion on them. I do a snowboard trip each year and hoping to set my self up physically.

What about Hammer-Curls are they also a gain killer or as effective as Bicep curls?

Bro has finally 1M subs. WELL DESERVED BRO!! Keep up the quality content (You:🗿🦍)

2 shorts ago you told me not to do bicep curls on my knee

What to do for wide biceps ?

I stay away from alot of cable bicep stuff. I never feel a good stress like i do with free weight. Is that psychological or maybe something im doing with form or weight thats effecting that? Im 42 now and would like to use cables more. Ive had alot of injuries in life as well. Is it ego?? Any advice is much appreciated.

Thank u ! Thats why i don’t see results on my biceps with close grip ez bar even with heavyweight 😅

Hello Sean, I just want to know your opinion about the Zottman Curls, is it effective?

Don't use barbell at all alternating cable curls and hammer curls all u ever need

Totally crushed we aren't best friends. I'm going for a lie down

Very informative! What about reverse grip? I always wondered if it actually made a difference

That's why you don't use a straight bar you use an ez bar duhh especially when your biceps are used to your dumbell exercises. I notice when I do dumbells too much I don't get that same soreness I get when I use an ez bar close grip curl every now & than it's a good freakin way to shock the bicep

Straight bar hurts my wrists.

Does that also apply to ez bar curls?

Yeah doing that first variation of curls hurts my wrist lol

But the whole reason to do close grip is to increase bicep width?? Is that correct? What exercises do you recommend for that? Whereas Wide grip is for bicep Peak 💪🏽

Some people in the firness RU-vid comments sections will unironically support bad or sub-optimal technique anyway because "it feels good".

Is it good if you want to work on your wrist, elbo, and shoulder joints?

You actually feel the burn more in your biceps with close grip

Stopped doing these years ago, virtually every time I’d have sore ass wrists. Much better curl variations.

Can you do a video on overhead press with a straight bar?

I was literally doing narrow grip this week am I wrists are killing me this weekend I've been trying to figure out why I guess I know now

Does wide grip barbell curls follow the same idea of going against the natural line of movement?

I dont know why, but I get more pumped and worked out after doing close grip curls, than normal ones. I had been doing that to target the long head
