How To: Dumbbell Side Curl

[22burst2020ddsspec]

Dude do something about your dick sticking out..

[patix1995]

What difference does this make to your biceps compared to, say hammer curls?

[KeffBundy]

it trains the side of the biceps

[100mammapappabarn]

The side curl hits more the brecialis!!

[twinmuscleadvises1]

OK i never did this excercose, no confidence, but I'll try it, as for brachialis it can work great. However I prefer hammer curls, but both are OK.

[twinmuscleadvises1]

Interesting, it might work for biceps especially the brachialis the low biceps part. I was never a friend of this excercise, but I will try it I promise you Scott. I prefer hammer curls as a second excercise to a combined set with bar curls or pullie biceps curls.

[simetiu]

dude, i feel gay cos that pointy thing in your pants keeps distracting my when you swung you hand. do something about it bro. peace :)

[Jokk3asd]

aka hammer curl?

[GTK3392]

@ScottHermanFitness hey, can you please explain what muscles are being worked? Great vid but I'm looking for specific muscles and sometimes I'm not sure which are being used. Thanks, great vid

[McEddi3]

@GTK3392 biceps?..

[GTK3392]

@McEddi3 Yes thank you but there is an inner and outer head of the bicep, as well as specific workouts that target upper and lower parts of each head and some that work on peak, or just mass, or strength, shit like that......yeah

[yhtrow1]

ew... it moved

[c0unt3rfeit]

LATER GUYS!

[gutwrench32]

That's a great workout! I like to take more of a full range motion,and bring the dumbbell up under my chin and turn the dumbbell inner;so it isolates just on the outer long head of the bicep! Great work!

[herobound]

Scott, I just joined a gym and I want a bod like yours. Do you have a vid that laysout a 4-day workout routine for newbies??

[yankonthis]

this gay... i mean guy looks like he has a big package . i wish worked for ups so he could deliver his package to me hmmmm. and then vice versa

[KING0SISQO]

aint this a cross body hammer curl?

[jeffdarga100]

[sdfefde]

[Rev0UK1]

pinwheel curls

[bigmacrr]

Scott you should mention in your vids what muscle(s) are being isolated in exercises such as this. I know a lot of people know already, but some don't. I guess in this one it's kind of obvious (biceps) but I think this would be helpful. Your vids are great though! ;)

[ScottHermanFitness]

@bigmacrr great idea! Join us on the SHF facebook community for more tips! facebook[.]com/scotthermanfitn­ess

[WorldOfBoomCraft]

@bigmacrr Yes I really really want him to do it, if he did it in all his Home & Gym videos it would be amazing. Just leave what muscles it works in the description please

[jayfay786]

thanks Scott!!

[pojo205]

Scott! I have a problem. My left pec is bigger than my right pec, I believe this is because my right arm is stronger than my left arm so when I do chest workouts, like bench, i tend to muscle through with my right arm, taking stress off my right pec. What workouts can I do to even this out? I've decided to lower the weight a little, still keeping it high weight low reps, my goal with this is to have perfect form.

Also, I have shallow pecs. What can I do to fill them in more?

[lees2oo8]

@pojo205 That's because your body equalizes the pressure and makes your left side work harder to keep up with your right arm, therefore it gets a better excercise - bigger pec. I have the same problem by the way.

[matwocents]

@pojo205 Does one of your shoulders slump (is lower) than the other? I have one that is that way (caused by wearing booksack on one shoulder in school when i was young), and it makes it really hard to do certain exercises. Also, of course, the muscles don't look the same. My spine is actually curved at the top half (only). I've tried to balance it out, but...nada

[ScottHermanFitness]

@matwocents try my back workout to tighten up! Join us on the SHF facebook community for more tips! facebook[.]com/scotthermanfitn­ess

[cooljiain]

also you can get too much protein if your consume like 100 grams in one go your body wont handle it and will get flushed out throw liver as pee, now scotts advice and mine have 20-30 grams of protein every 2-3 hours with carbs and healthy fats this is how we keep in a anabolic state and maintain and build muscle go and check out his meal plan,

[cooljiain]

mehganfox has no clue what she is speaking about im a personal trainer and i get great tips from scotts channel, there are many ways to train scott will get hypertrophy and stength due to the reps he does and heavey weights. now there are many other ways to train good but everyone has there own way and if it works like scotts does ther u go. plus protein gets utilised to build and maintain muscle mass if you dont workout and eat protein in tons will turn to fat.

[MehganFox]

@cooljiain

wait wha? i wasnt commenting this video. i was replying to someone about about jay cutler...

true protein and is essential in everyday diet but bodybuilding to extent of hypertrophy training puts a lot of stress on your body. youll find that most people who have been doing this all their lives stop after they are 40-45 years old.

what i mean by unhealthy is, do you know how much you are taking in year after year after year? ingesting this much for hypertophic gains is slowly (cont)

[MehganFox]

@cooljiain making your liver work overtime. you right, excess protein will turn into fat but im not talking about an "esthetics" or bodybuilding point of view. im talking about a long term HEALTH point of view.

look im a personal trainer myself.. i honestly dont want to have a youtube fight with you, im gonna say this for people reading comments or whatever. go ask a nutritionist or specialist in terms of dieting, etc. personal trainers are not qualified to give nutritional advice. (cont)

[cooljiain]

@MehganFox look im a nutritionalist and ersonal trainer and i have studied and yes some people say is unhealthy but i think is healthy because everything is bad for you in some way, at that age you cant train as hard anyway as your immune system weakens and muscle deplete thats why and obviously rest weeks and changing workouts up means you wont overtrain or stress muscles. all types of trianing has benifits period and tears muscles thats how they grow. so really get facts right b4 commenting,

[zaffe93]

hey what muscles is this? triforce? :P

[ScottHermanFitness]

[Fancylad07]

@zaffe93

Forearm

[Darbukarlitos1]

@zaffe93 This excersise is more focus on the brachialis but it`s better if you do hammer dumbell curls on a low incline bench angle (no supination).An inverted barbell curls works really well too.(prone grip)

[MainzxLivewire]

what do these 'side curls' do differently to your bicep?..

[mtthwclinton]

@MainzxLivewire Im guessing that the side curls incorporate the tricep more.

[MehganFox]

@mtthwclinton

what? in no way does a curl work the tricep... pronated and semi pronated curls incorporate more of the brachiiradialis....

[MainzxLivewire]

@MehganFox ok so basically, forearm

[kungpow79]

@mtthwclinton - sorry but wrong. This exercise will work the brachioradialis more which is your 'forearm' muscle. Try it, you'll feel it. :)

[ScottHermanFitness]

@mtthwclinton outside of bicep Join us on the SHF facebook community for more tips! facebook[.]com/scotthermanfitn­ess

[Trybrow]

@ScottHermanFitness yeah, great vids but it would be nice if you included a mention about which part of the muscle each exersize works out.

[markgoffeney]

@mtthwclinton how would they possibily work the tricep?

[ryanwegner2010]

@mtthwclinton Just no.

[MehganFox]

@MainzxLivewire

looks as though it further prevents swinging. i personally prefer doing curls on an incline bench.

[ScottHermanFitness]

@MainzxLivewire Join us on the SHF facebook community for more tips! facebook[.]com/scotthermanfitn­ess

[Neyohh]

@ScottHermanFitness You'll target the 'outside' with normal curls as well

[gutwrench32]

@MainzxLivewire It works the outer of the long head of your bicep!Gives you that third bicep look!

[sanleunam]

i love more being fit that being all bulky!!!...example jay cutler...is to masive not sexy...

women hate!!! big bulky guys...being lean and fit in my mind its better....

[MehganFox]

@sanleunam

everyone to their own. sigh.... what you see is his contest form. ifbb professionals, arent always ripped 5% body fat. he looks like any normal person at the gym except bigger.

[sanleunam]

@MehganFox well yeah...but hes health its risk...whit all the roids he consumes...hey dont get me rong i lubb roids i use them my self...but you know in that large amaunt of consuming can be quiet dangerous...but thats just me...

[MehganFox]

@sanleunam

do you think people get into bodybuilding hypertrophy training to be health nuts? your in it to win. a what ever cost it takes. you will be surprised how much top level bodybuilders know about the science of bodybuilding. if you've been hypertrophy training for a while now, you would know that it is not that safe to start with, even if your not on "'roids". do you know how hard your liver has to work to process all that protein (ie. 1.5x lb muscle). your body doesn't like it.

[MehganFox]

@MehganFox

that why most people wont hypertrophy train their whole life. "getting huge" is a teenage mentality thing. a lot of people that i have met in the industry stop hypertrophy training after a while at a certain age and focus more on functional and health goals as they start to understand the risk etc.

[cooljiain]

@MehganFox okay im a personal trainer and protein get flushed by liver yes but its not unhealthy its not toxic like alcohal and exess protein will get flushed out as pee, and training in this way is not harmfull there are so many benifits to this way of training as there are with others as long as you see image changing and weight going up it working. everyone changes workouts now and then to keep it fun and body guessing so dont comment of a decent trainer scott if you dont know shit.

[cramodilac]

does this excersice help u with muscle gains?

[Christoph11]

teehee, i was looking in my wardrobe the other day and i have your shorts.
