  • Use of the word "toning" in the video description.

    Expertvillage, you've just lost a LOT of credibility.

  • i bet most of you idiots can't even lift that much talking shit, and i also bet when you go to the gym and see someone lifting light weight, you keep your mouth shut like pussies, it's always youtube that gets your dicks growing

  • LOL at the fucking weight

  • LOL at the guy on the left......

  • @Dariuszdavi haha, hes workin them gludes. lol

  • LOL at weight

  • SWING SWING and SWING... that barbell is too heavy for you, this video is useless

  • LOL at the guy in the squat rack

  • LOL at the guy doing terrible deadlifts in the background..

  • Can I do a dead-lift, bicep curl, shoulder press then triceps extension in one exercise with the same barbell?

  • @jgq85 dont follow any of those all-in-one barbell exercises that you see in fitness magazines. thats all aload of shit, stick to heavy compound lifts and isolation exercises.

  • cool ass song to lift weights to huh

  • @mufcwalkerftg LOL you're so funny.

  • what the hell is that guy to the left doing? :P

  • @Kimer28 lmao, theyre like... toddler squats :P

  • @Kimer28 if you had a brain at all you would know he's doin the dead lift

  • @mufcwalkerftg if you had a brain at all you would read that he said his max BICEP curl was 70 kg

  • @Kimer28 dead lift

  • IF YOU CANT SEE THE VIDEO, PRESS THE BUTTON WITH THE ''CC'' ON IT, RIGHT NEXT TO THE FULLSCREEN BUTTON AND THAT >TEXT< IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN SHOULD GO AWAY.

    Good job with the video. I laughed at the bad bicep curls, but its important to keep your back straight!

  • Dude you are an idiot. I checked out 3 of your videos and each one has the text in the middle so you can't see a thing!!!!!!!

  • @gibsonhanks123 press the CC button u fucking itiot

  • i find that when i do these with a straight bar it hurts my wrists so ive found the ez bar to be more comfortable

  • hahaha, look at that girl whit the pink shirt 1:28

  • haha that was one hell of a bad bicep curl lmao, ur right about the breathing, breathing is the most important part of any exercise

  • He he making money on this??

  • ur bad bicep curl was hilarious

  • they always over exaggerate on their breathing on these demonstration videos

  • @RBurn90 yeah they do its probably just to enforce the breathing pattern more clearly

  • ha the bad bisep curl was like a mr. bean dance

  • This has got to be one of the most worthless exercises. I suppose it's better than a sitting bicep curl though.

  • @DrAlexisOlson Why? Its a decent bicep exercise.

  • 1:25, LOL at that guy deadlifting 65 pounds, that's rough.

  • @mainestategopcensor wow you must be stupid, of course he isn't maxing. The reason behind that is that if you deadlift too much you tend to bend your back, which is the wrong technique and obviously you don't want to demonstrate with a wrong technique.

  • how would i go about finding out my 1 rep max bicep curl, i ask this because i am a phaggot and luv to curlzz

  • quick question ... is it true that its better to use an "ez" bar instead of a straight bar to reduce the strain on the wrists?

  • @flex8622 from my experiance, i would say fuck yeah especially when working your forearms

  • cheers m8

  • yup

  • @flex8622 well, i had the same question too, and i read an article i found and it stated that the ez bar might be easier but it compromises effectiveness... i switch around... but that's just me...

  • i havent read any of the comments below, my question was when i am doing higher weight to check max, my chest is more thrusted up. as i am lifting the weight upward. is this a correct form?

  • Excellent video and well demonstrated! I also liked the part displaying how not to do it. 5 Stars - Shame about the negative idiots below who haven't got a clue. ;)

  • i lold when i showed how not to do the curl :L

  • Help,this is my workout

    Tuesday, Thursday

    5 sets 8 Reps, Chest Press on Machine , Champagnes, overhead, incline dumbbell fly variant, flat dumbbell twist flat press & fly, Shoulders on machine, dead lifts

    I run it through a routine, about a minute rest then start the next set i'm trying to gain muscle and mass also add 20 pounds onto myself before next summer, I cut out my cardio, if anyone has any tips help me please, this workout gets me super tired, but i'm not sore, week 22

  • Vary up your workout, do less reps more weight or more weight less reps. Your choice, just mix it up.

  • you guys are all awesome lol and yeah the lady was the first thing i actually noticed lol

  • hah youu took it a bit farr with how not to do curls, everyone noes u dont fuckin swing ur self likee a fuckin idiot

  • oh yea dat is funny the lady in the mirror

    nd fuk ll that the only thing u need to know is not to move ur back a lot

  • lol anyone else notice the lady in the back on the lat machine doing rows with a major hump action? haha

  • there is no reason to teach sumbody how to breathe properly during exercise just open ur mouth and ur body will do wat i does naturally

  • Lot of people hold their breath inside. You will be surprised majority of beginners do that.

  • Comment removed

  • grambo do u mean until u can curl 10kg lol? not mocking so dont go mad man =]

  • he was just teaching us how to do them dumbasses

  • i love the way you move...dun dun dun...i love the way you move...dun dun dun...lollololololololol

  • lololol is it jacksoul in the background??

  • wow really?!?!?! u lower it way too fast!!!!! 2 sec up 4 sec down "the proper way" Personal trainer??? REALLY?

  • I doubt this guy was doing anything close to his max, he was just showing how to do it you retard

  • haha

  • bicep curls are a waste of time do back exercises such as chin ups,pull ups and rows

  • You win, 99% of people doing bicep curls don't even have biceps. Until you can do 10+ deadhang pull-ups you have NO business curling. The bicep is also a tiny muscle group, you are an idiot if you dedicate a lot of time to training it unless you a pro bodybuilder (which barely anyone is).

  • How could someone do a bicep curl without having biceps grambo? How would the amputee grab the bar? ... Everyone has biceps.

  • My point is most people you see spending an hour a week training "arms" by doing 5 different curl variations should spend their time getting generally big first, then focusing on small muscles. Most of the people you see spending hours on isolation exercises on their arms have no business doing so as they are tiny.

  • exactly right

  • Looks like aerobics.

  • pervert.

  • lol good example of a bad bicep curl.....its called a cheat curl and Arnold was one to pretty much patent it

  • curl monkey

  • what must the people who use this gym think of this fella

  • IT'S BICEPS! NOT BICEP, idiot...

  • he forgot that your supposed to do the exercise slowly, the guy looks hyped of disturbed by somthing, otherwise good advice but doug is much more thurow

  • What the hell is that woman in the mirror doing when he demonstrates the bad bicep curl? Retarded video all around.

  • lol when he shws the bad ways it makes me laugh so much, its funny how some people would actually be dumb enough to do it. he looks like a retard when he does it but he knows his stuff :) nice vid

  • he is personal trainer, but he dont use steroids so that why hwe isnt like other idiots

  • Great video. Ive been looking for ways to bulk up my biceps. Thanks for the information!

  • haha r u serious?

  • this guy looks bad compared to all the other body builders lol

  • lol xD

    If you had listened:

    He's not a body builder,

    He's a trainer x')

  • dude at the end he was showing a bad example to show you how NOT to

  • how do a better push up cause i keep doing the girls one

  • grow a penis

  • I dont know why but you just made me laugh really hard

  • if you want to do a better push up, simply remain in the poition you do them in, but change the position of your hands, ie: wider, thumbs and forefingers touching, hands in line with shoulders, hands above head etc. you could also try doing Kung fu tiger press ups (on your hands tho, not fingers) as they give a large range of motion. im not sure, but ive heard that it can damage a womans internal organs if they do a full length sit up, but im not sure if that is true, ask a doctor.

  • Bicep curl will fuck your back all to hell if you if do what he did at the end. haha..

    arching your back to get that heavy weight up. NO! There are a lot of nuances in form that will save you from major injuries.

  • he looked gay at the end.

  • he looked gay at the beginning

  • good vids man keep em coming

  • also make sure your ass cheeks an nut sac is tight also

  • dude hes trying to show you what to do lol not show how much he can do

  • this videos is the best!!!

  • god ian maybe he was on his 20th set or something... ive seen huge guys who bench well over 120kg(here in australia) at my gym, barely being able to push up the bar when they've done set upon set. but then again maybe he wasnt.. haha

  • i'm shure he was not working out with his maxium weight. ever herd of a lower weight and more reps? think before you get on somebodys case u ugly dumb biach.

  • Everyone has to start somewhere man

  • "You see 6th graders do more", do you? How do you know whether or not the guy in the background wasn't recovering from injury or something? Put your tiny brain into gear before you start acting like a little prick.

  • hes just using a low rep to easily show good form, you dont have to show off all the time

  • Good form? Thats the ugliest clean I've ever seen.

  • lol ur not ment to sway u geek the weight is too much for you

  • lool.. i loved the bad biceps curl!

  • please someone tell me if this is a good schedule Day 1:2 sets pyramid 8-6-4-2 reps tricep extension+2 sets 8-6-4-2 bicep curl for each arm. Day 2 : rest Day 3: same as day 1 and it goes on like that. Please guys, what do u think?

  • I love it when trainers like this douce bag, complicate the fuck out of an exercise. This will totally confuse a beginner. He goes into a complicated explanation on how to stand while doing the curl. WTF!!!!

  • If u want strength and muscles try breakdancing =]

  • jerkin off is great for my forearms and more fun than breakin, lol

  • ha ha ha

  • saaad

  • @plasmaampm I totally agree with you. But 4real u need to take it to the next level and beat off with two hands to hit all the muscles in your upper body and you need to do it in the pool for resistance

  • @dkmd5353 Yeah and it increases testosterone too.

  • @RotatingAxel haha yea prob, i was just fuckin around tho. It really isnt the best thing to do if your lifting that day or already lifted jacking off makes you tired. Most of the time when im done beatin it i take a nap haha

  • @dkmd5353 Lol yeah I was too ^^. I mean I wouldnt do it just because I wanna raise my test.. levels to get bigger haha.

  • gripping the ground with your toes? what are you a fuckin monkey!?

  • what r u , 5yrs old kid?

  • ???

  • LOl! tht was funny hahahah

  • here's what i learned from watching this. don't talk fitness advice from a pee-wee herman lookalike with woody allen biceps.

  • lol! classic

  • hahahha look at the girl in 1:38 shes giving her husband a good old doggystyle LOL

  • he's doing those reps way too fast...

  • Ahh yes, biceps...the most important muscle in the body!!

  • LOL

  • Professional tip: Please do not listen to anyone. I can be a honored medical physician or I could be a friggin' loser. The truth is I'm both. Figure out your own way to build muscle. You will get it, it might take a few years though. It'll be worth it.

    'The good news is that this can be done by a specialist', how hilarious. Dedication creates muscle. But remember, don't listen to me or anyone else, just lift the goddamn weights. Just DO IT, do it NOW. Thank you.

  • Yea, thats why 97% of everyone who has been in a gym longer than 3 months has hit a platue, and why that platue WILL NOT LEAVE no matter how many times you "lift the goddamn weights". How many here have seen a consistent 10 pound gain on all your lifts on each workout for the last year? Yea didn't think so. Keep doing it on your own. 10 years from now, when your bench has gone up MAYBE 20 pounds and you look exactly the same as you do now, I'll still be here and ready to explain why.

  • How do you think people in the old days got strong? By listening to health professionals?

    I'm not talking about being Coleman, which is AFAIK not possible just like that, for me anyway. I'm talking being fat and dragging chains and trucks. (btw: 10lbs gain once or twice a week is.. 500-1000lbs gain in a year, come on man.)

  • I have to admit: I haven't the slightest idea how to be a 300lbs machine ripped at 3% bf.

    After reading some posts of yours my guess is you ain't talking bullshit. So I reckon being Coleman is science. I forgot some people actually want to be like that. Being ugly and strong: It honestly isn't much more than lifting (big compound moves), big diet(important) and resting a lot. But then again I have something like 20-25% bf which I don't care much about but some people do.

  • i lifted 10 months straight + now and ive averaged at least 5 pounds new max every time...

  • You are exactly correct! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LIFT!!!!!!

  • should I be lifting a heavy weight with less reps or light with more reps?

  • well the way most people do is find ur max and do 80 percent of that 10 times 3 times in a row so like 10 times break 10 times break and so on.. lets say ur max is 50lbs u would work out with 40lbs

  • On the "good better best" ranking system, that would rank as "good".

  • Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Law of individual differences!

  • Comment removed

  • If you're trying to gain mass, you're going to need every possible rep and set scheme, volume, intensity, and frequency centered around a periodized training protocol meant specifically to increase the cross sectional size of the myofibrals. I have some good news and some bad news.

    The good news is that this can be done by a specialist.

    The bad news is that you have almost no chance of doing it on your own.

  • Both...do heavy one day with fewer reps and then another day do heavy weights then superset with lighter weight! This shocks the muscles and makes them grow. You need to eat like a pig(healthy foods) and sleep well to rest the muscles or they will not grow as fast!

  • I love how they try to make themselves appear educated by going over the smallest unnecessary things in such detail. "I want you to stand up and push your feet into the ground" - ... while ... standing? Is anyone here able to telekenetically push their feet harder into the ground than gravity already is while STANDING STRAIGHT UP?

  • Next, you have to squeeze your legs together, tighten your ass, tighten your abs...

    Has anyone here ever done a bicep curl before? Has anyone here noticed that all these things tend to happen on their own anytime you lift ANYTHING? Stabilizing muscles contract to hold you in place anytime you pick something up, but he's going over it like its some secret "technique" of his.

  • did ne one notice the wheenie in the background(left) doing 20 lbs. RDL's?

  • lol

  • ok OK ok dude dont over react with the cheating bicep curl this is the only proccess wer u can cheat dude but not like how you perform it at the end that was over reacting!!! men this world ist made of LOVE AND PEACE!!!

  • no u cant lock out lock out is when u lock u elbo like when u straighten ur arm as far as it can go u cant do that u just have 2 put strain on the muscle

  • what a moron.. staightening your arm while doing curl???... and with a straight bar, he´s gonna trash his wrists pretty soon...

  • sup, i got a question, sort of random but when you said straigtening the arms, is that the term lock out? i always hear do not go to lock out, like on bench, you konw what that means?

    thanks

  • they may have horrible form but there still bigger then you. does that explain something...

  • ummm you really dont have to go all the way down....then you cant do alot of weight and while i know someone is going to comment back and say weight is not important its the technique that counts that is true but bringing your arms all the way down and all the way back up puts to much strain on your tendons

  • what you said is true, but not because of the tendons but the joints, dont go to 180 like he did im sure ull agree go to a slight bend, l8ers m8

  • not a great video. he should point out that swinging the bar (and his torso), and holding with the forearms almost vertical, is not good form at all. the weight should be moved slower and the forearms should go back down before they reach the vertical point

  • Actually the straight bar is inferior when doing curls. The bar restricts movement of the wrist and forearm. Non straight curl bars specifically designed for military and French curls will allow for greater range of motion thus improving muscle definition as well as working a larger range of muscles. Also this "trainer" uses very bad technique when he picks up the bar. Probably because he has very little weight for this demo bad form, esp when setting an example.

  • no one needs PTs. there all rubbish with a few exceptions. even bodybuilders know more than people like these about fitness and dont need no qualification to prove it !!!

  • oh ok so all body builders can tell a new person clearly all about anatomy and physiology of the muscles and bones. And also how all the joints and lever systems work to every detail. Alot of bodybuilders wouldnt have a clue, sure they might know what a few muscles are but you seem to think thats all personal training is about. That was a stupid thing to say, unless YOU know everything there is to know, dont try and act like you know it all.

  • your such a dousche bag you think bodybuilders know it all huh i train bodybuilders everyday they may know some stuff but FUCK look at arnold and jay cutler and ronnie colman they have horrible form! i assure you those guys dont know what a trainer can tell you WHAT WHAT a good trainer anyway

  • I believe his point, good sir, was that most personal trainers do not have any real education in bodily form or function. Furthermore, in comparison, a bodybuilder's knowledge probably would be greater than that of most charlatans out there.  And "qualifications" for being a personal trainer are outright dubious at best.

  • Bicep Curl is great for the bicep muscle of the arm eh? Superb analysis! BTW, coming from a REAL Personal trainer, straight bar curls aren't done anymore. Wrist supination cannot be achieved due to the upper cross syndrome most people suffer from. We have 6 major internal rotators and 3 major external rotators. This guy shouldn't be allowed to train anyone.

  • does the bar HAVE to be straight to do a proper bicep curl?

  • i think so. because then one arm will be getting more of a workout than the other

  • no the bar does not have to be straight to do a propper curl, but the straight bar hits the overall muscle, and creates more size, the e z bar gives more definition, and shape to the muscle.Hope this helps, any more questions feel free to ask, I am a physical fitness instructor, and have been training for over eight years now.

  • This is not true. A straight bar cannot create size simply because its straight, and an e z bar does nothing by itself to create definition. Size, strength, power, and definition are all created (among other things) through training in various pathways of muscular energetics, which is manipulated by rep ranges, and maximum time under contractile tension, which is manipulated by sets. The only difference between a straight bar and an e z bar? One's straight, the other's bent.

  • Which one would be better, the e z bar or the straight bar, for building muscle?

  • It doesn't matter. Muscle doesn't build based on what bar you use. Muscle building comes from following the right volume, intensity, frequency, diet, and other factors that are tailor made to what your body requires. The bar you use has almost NO impact on the way your muscles develop!!!

  • wow I was just asking for advice on with one to use, but obviously i was asking the wrong person. I got my question answered by googleing it and apparently ellissuperbaby is more correct.

  • Your question was "which is better for building muscle, an ez bar or a straight bar" <--- and the answer is, neither. Neither one builds more muscle than the other on its own.

    Building muscle depends on OTHER THINGS, such as the things I listed, and not on what kind of bar you use.

    So how is that not answering your question?

  • no actually with the e z curl your biceps are getting a little less work and your brachialis muscle is getting slightly more work because of the angle of your hands. This makes the straight bar somewhat more effective for building your biceps. There is not much dfference, but one is a little better than the other. good day

  • The brachialis is responsible for pronating or suppinating the palm (turning it palms up or palms down). Because your hands are not twisting on either bar, this muscle is not being recruited on either. Twisting dumbbell curls are supposed to allow for stimulation of this muscle, except there is still not resistance through that ROM.

  • Think of it this way. Lets say that you lay down to do a bench press. You unrack the bar above you, and just hold it. It doesn't to up and down.

    You do the same thing with dumbbells. You just hold it - you dont move it up or down.

    Which of these trains your chest better? NEITHER! Not unless you move through a ROM with resistance. And thats why an EZ bar is not going to work any muscle any better than a straight bar.

  • That is totally different, I think you should read what you write, I just asked for some friendly advice and you go and tell me some stupid advice that i could have got from a high school student, the angle on the e z curl works more of another muscle in the bicep than the other,

  • that what every website i googled say, so should i believe everyone else on legitimate websites or should i believe some guy who goes on youtube and leave comments on everything because they have nothing else better to do.

  • You're right. My 6 years of medical education and study under leading scientist in the field cant -possibly- compete with JoesResearch(dot)com. Why, it CANT be thousands of highschool educated trainers out there with the latest copies of Muscle & Fiction magazine just making it up!!!

  • actually it does becuase thier are different

    weighted bars such s a normal bar or an olympic bar. but what you are saying is the key to gaining muscle. i agree with you on everything but the bars.

  • rocking back, bad breathing and posture, grip the floor with your toes, who is this beginner. You give PTs a bad name, get learning bro......

  • Dude, u need to stop the rocking back and forth, ur gonna click the bottom of ur back out of place, u point it out urself lol, then do it.XD

  • yeah he said that was an example of the bad way to do it lol

  • this guy sucks!!! he must first learn, on how to lift heavy and proper form use, and then, teach to the dummys how to lift a bar.

  • Stopping at the top & bottom is a rest, not good. You may fell like the contraction at the top is productive
