 Not in Loz's top 10 uk strongmen Member 144, 4421 posts SQ 320, BP 165, DL 350835.0 kgs @ 123kgs Eq | I just do heavy hammer curls mate. Sometimes I'll do ez bar aswell but not often. What did you have in mind? I agree with the way Derek Poundstone trains: he trains all body parts including bis therefore the is no weak link that is likely to go. ie. torn bicep etc | ||

My gunz plan is s**t, but here it is: i find curls boring so i just do 3 random exercises, usually just one set each in the end of a session on a random day. i too prioritise hammer curls over normal ones, and especially the Jouko Ahola curls  | ||

Your biceps are relatively tiny and will be worked enough from all your back work. Very little extra is needed. Bye the bye, anyone who refers to their biceps as "guns" or worse still "gunz" takes it up the arse with no lubrication other than spit. | ||

 AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! Member 22, 452 posts SQ 250, BP 195, DL 250695.0 kgs @ 121kgs Eq | I have issues with my elbows from squatting with a narrow grip and shirt/board work and I find hammer curls to be effective. I don't do them as much as I should though, same as face pulls, stretching etc. | ||

Bye the bye, anyone who refers to their biceps as "guns" or worse still "gunz" takes it up the arse with no lubrication other than spit. Ive been trying to get the girlfriend to call hers gunz for ages.... I agree that bicep work is probably worth doing to stop 'weak links' etc. But, when people pull their biceps, dont they tend to rip the tendon rather than the muscle? Also, I suspect and have indeed seen vids of people who later pulled bicep tendons deadlifting with slightly bent arms. Deadlifting with bent arms = dumb. Ive also not heard of anyone pulling a bicep pulling double overhand. Ive no doubt it happens but I bet its not as common as the over/under combo, therefore why not hook? Im with the Fat One. Lots of hard and heavy back work and the biceps will take care of themselves. If you're a strongman of have elbow problems chuck in hammer curls. If you want bigger biceps chuck in some curls. Pretty simple really. | ||

 Do hugs, not drugs. Member 136, 712 posts SQ 380, BP 242.5, DL 330952.5 kgs @ 110kgs Eq | I only ever indirectly train my biceps with primary back exercises. Bent over rows, seated machine single arm rows and the one arm rows with heavy poundages. Personally I think the over developed arms of bodybuilders are not aesthetically pleasing and ruin the proportion of the torso. Biceps are important don't get me wrong - but I think too much emphasis is placed on them by so many novices, its a shame really. Happy New Year to you all - 900 will fall in the BPC Welsh April....PP | ||
