    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.

    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.

      Whilst doing it like this on an EZ bar would probably be much better for joint health owing to the inward angle of your hands, the line of motion would still be fixed vertically, so yes. You could make the minor adjustment of just placing your hands on the wider grips of the EZ bar.
      That being said, the difference in bicep output wouldn't be too big. It's just not totally 'optimal'. Honestly, if you enjoy doing them that way, I would suggest you still do them like that, because you're far more likely to be consistent with training if you enjoy it :)

      I’d like to preface this by saying I too like narrow grip personally whenever I do preacher because it feels good to me just like you.
      But…
      It’s not just my insight saying that a narrow grip on a fixed vertical path is suboptimal. Sean literally says it in the video here. The same applies with an EZ bar because the hands are fixed on a vertical path.
      The optimal path for a bicep movement, again as Sean says here, is for the path to align with the muscle fibres. Something which a narrowed grip on a fixed vertical path doesn‘t achieve.

    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.

    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

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

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

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

  • @BillG29
    @BillG29 Před rokem

    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.

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

  • @thanevakarian9762
    @thanevakarian9762 Před 11 měsíci

    Just blast hammer curl variations. More practical movement anyway.
