EFS Exercise Index: Seated Barbell Curls

[enkroning]

joke?

[paulisacrazyfreak101]

I do something similar that works really well, more for aesthetic reasons than strength training like Tate's showing there. So do your set of standing curls not quite to failure then sit down do a set of curls to failure. Slow negative and explode up. To make it quite a bit harder don't let the bar touch your legs, then once you've reached failure rest on quads and try and get a couple of extra reps out. My interpretation of 'Bicep hell', haha.

Daing Dude Dave you got me pumped up : )

[bigwalston0071]

Looks impressive but its half a work out bring it down slow...get more work in

[goatkiller68]

@bigwalston0071 your really saying that to Dave Tate? im pretty sure he knows exactly what he is doing. he's trainging to be explosive

[hayungatoloco]

good stuff. jw does anyone know why he recomends dropping the bar on your thighs?

[EliteExtra]

what is the reason for doing them like that? With no concentration on the negative and the positive done dynamically?

[sjjdiienno1]

@EliteExtra help with explosiveness maybe?

[democratusnostradams]

@EliteExtra lots of pulling power?

[LibertyWaxlips]

@EliteExtra Watch a video from MUscle and Fitness Magazine's author Dr. JIm Stoppani here on youtube -> channel name ''Bobbycozmo''.

[TaTenThinh]

@EliteExtra It's to build explosiveness and power. The negative (eccentric phase) is for bodybuilders as it does microtear to your muscles. You don't need the negative for powerlifting and power.

i would be affraid i would hit myself in the nuts with that bar ha

[lankatank]

good set

[wisdometernal]

Ive never let the bar drop onto me legs like that, but the dynamic curl action is great.

[yoamofior2]

ouch my quads hurt

i love that exercise ive been using it for 6 months, itll be the first exercise i do in my bicep workout because i find it to target the biceps themselves better then any exercise
