Positions of Flexion Arm Workout - Biceps Triceps Forearms

[Gherman3991]

preacher curls are not a "Stretch" exercise.

@Gherman3991

Can you explain why they are not?

When you extend you arms all the way down you will fully stretch the biceps, hence it IS A Stretch Exercise. But I would love to hear your reasoning for why it's not...

[Gherman3991]

@leemhayward when your upper arm is in front of your body, it doesn't fully stretch the bicep at the top portion where the muscle inserts to the shoulder. when your upper arm is behind your body (like doing incline curls) it produces a full stretch. hold your arm out front, palm up. then, by keeping your arm straight, lower it down then behind you. you can feel the stretch all the way up to the front delt.

@Gherman3991

I agree that incline curls are another great stretch exercise, and like you said they stretch more of the upper insertion of the biceps. But that's not to say preacher curls are NOT a stretch move. If you do a set of standing curls and then do a set of preacher curls I'm pretty sure you'll be able to feel the difference and tell that the biceps stretch a lot more with preacher curls then they do with standing curls.

[simson99w]

I am afraid 1:00 is not stretch position, but contracted position

[manwalkswithwolf]

cant u break or have problems with your back when swinging like that in the begaining

[BeforeTheUnseen]

i thought rocking you body back and forth wasnt good and doesnt build muscle??

[skynet808]

anybody ever heard of telle curls? post a vid if you do. i really couldnt understand from descriptions. if not, oh well. chin ups (unassisted) are better for your bis anyway.

[hualni]

close grip supinated grip (fingers facing you, knuckles away from you) chin up's are better. you have to be specific. Also, using a grip where your thumbs and index fingers are visible but your other fingers are not visible is a great way to do pull ups as well for biceps. Overall, you cannot beat properly done "Scott Curls". This is where you have a pad on your triceps and your arms are at a 35 degree or so angle. Isolates the bi's the best.

[asmcriminaL]

There is no "myostatic reflex" in the streching exercise. and There is no PEAK contraction(pause) in any of the contraction exercises.

It's ridiculous how pedantic your all being!!

[sabio101]

yea i was gonna say the same its not all about the weight proper form with a bit less weight is better. If u cant do proper form and your struggling alot do less weights... Decent vid besides that.
