Favorite Bicep movement

[Plate Rape]

What’s everyone’s favorite bicep movement? Mine is the drag curl. For me I get the best pump and mind muscle connection from a ez bar drag curl.

In order of personal preference:

#1. EZ Bar Curl
#2. Dumbbell Curl
#3. Barbell Curl
#4. Spider Curl
#5 Concentration Curl (I prefer the Arnold version done standing vs. the more conventional seated version but have done both)
#6. Curls using a Chest Expander
#7. Curls using an Arm Blaster
#8. Drag Curl
#9. Incline Dumbbell Curl
#10. Hammer Curl

I normally stick to numbers 1 and 2 periodically changing either the rep range or progression method for variety and occasionally rotate in one of the other variations listed for a time for variety as well. To be honest there isn't a huge difference in preference between #3 to #10.

Standing curl with the ez bar. Moderate weight for 10-12 solid reps. I like it better than preacher curls. Seems to work better for me.

Standing dual cable curls leaning forward with deep stretch and pause.

close grip underhand pulldowns. mess with the rom and angle a bit and youll see what i mean. get the lats out of it

I do those and against the wall for strict form.

Those with a short MAG grip for the win!

It's great with the short MAG grip and holding palms inward. My gym has 3 lengths of the MAGs and the shortest ones are great for close grip movements and the angled grip feels amazing! In a pinch a V-grip works quite well too.

Right now, seated cable row curls. Great connection, pump, constant tension

Anyways I love straight bar curls and ez bar cheat curls. I used to train mega heavy and even with a mild swing.

Hammer curls too.

No I haven't done pushdowns with the short MAG grip but ought to give that a try as been using the rope for pushdowns for years.

Standing Cable curls are my favorite, but the one that makes me sore the worst are incline bench with wide curls going all the way to straight (not locked at elbow though).

 

[BigBack93]

No one likes Arnolds hanging bicep curls ? lol , I did them today, I forgot to do incline bench curls facing the bench, its almost the same thing as Arnold but at a angle.
