[AVFCsi02]

I done this wrong the other day lool

[TraNceR707]

i did this exercise today and my ROM was way to big. LMFAO i curled the bar all the way up to my face exactly what u said not to do. thank for uploading this video. From now on i will do this.

[123KillerGod123]

Hmmmmm you gotta bring the cable all the way done right? lol

[norra124]

For all the negative comments: just look at his fucking guns, you idiots.

[OnIxXxInO]

hey thankz for the tut i just buyed a wheider pro machine and i dont really know where to start any help?

[TheThomasf99]

is this only for biecerps?

[GamertagUbaeef]

this guy is a muppet

[musingmumbler]

I'm surprised he can actually bend his arms...

[Tiroth77]

He IS swinging wat a noob

[toenyo]

No tdubb099 the last exercise to do in a full body workout is your biceps then abs, because they stablise your hole body

[nwalkerm]

i hope thats really not his name lol

[ccchackalll]

He was sad at the end

[tdubb099]

awesome vid, another thing to keep in mind. Is try to do your bicep as the last thing you do for your days workout. Because most the exercise you do when it comes to arms day. Involves your biceps in some form, so do them last.

[Ceratul]

@tdubb099 thank you

[mackdallas]

fucking beast hahahha

[Samuraiul1]

@mackdallas hahah yea...

looks like these days if u did not do anytrhing in school you can either become a cab driver or a expert trainer!

[AverageJoe529]

I started doing this technique a month ago and I'm seeing awesome results. Thanks for posting this!

[dethklok11792]

hes in really good shape hes not a body builder hes a fitness trainer..

still..wish i looked like he did..my arms do just not my stomach..dont know what the problem is i have a routine thats switched up every other week for muscle confusion..and my stomach doesnt slim down just gets bigger..not saying i have a big belly just doesnt seem to form into noticable six pack

[Rearbottoms]

no, he's... not really that "huge"... He's ok. You have no idea what huge means.

[gangster2triggaz]

im 14 i dont ho all the way up so that it doesnt stop the consentrate on the biceps and i can really feel it because normally if i go right to the top it give my biceps like a 1 second rest am i doing it right?

[adster2010]

well, kind of; in a way. Not going all the way keeps the tension on the bicep (which you want to always keep tension on the targeted muscle in any workout). However, just like in all other exercises, it is the squeezing motion that gets the muscle builder. In your case, you want to squeeze your arm up as much as possible, then let it down slowly. Here's a tip; if you bend over at the hips a little bit (still keeping balance), this will keep a constant tension on the bicep with no "rest".

[dustina111p]

Do curls work your forearms at all?

[killerduckuk]

Yes, You can get a great forearm workout from reverse grip curls.

[nb4pur3]

Main target is the bicep and triceps.

[willieofroanoke]

Excellent demo! This guy shows the correct way. Unlike free weights, machines that use cables put tension on the muscles you're working from start to finish. If you really want to "burn" your biceps, start with lighter free weight curls, then move to moderate weight cable curls, both seated and standing, then finish with some preacher curls.

[MichielVic]

Not completely correct, he leans back every time he pulls the weight up. He forgets to lock his lower back in order to prevent this. You have to keep your torso still in order to get the max out of this excersize.

[3ggt3]

Very good thank you!

[sweetypie000]

thanks for your great direction !

[toolboox]

hey dude the machine needs oil.....

[ThePaulWog]

@toolboox It's actually the attachment (the curl piece he's holding). The center pivots around a metal bar, and with no oil in there often those things will just sound rusty (because they are likely rusted inside).

[tasteslikechickaan]

@toolboox

Second of his vids I've seen...the ab machine needs it as well.

[gurmallah]

good excercise but need more concentration and control

[ianman6]

Very good form, but not enough extension.

[630758]

i dont know but try your best

[TeaBiscuits2]

is the cable curl better then just regular bicep curls?

[steveh88]

It depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. Cable excercises of any kind are great for definition, but not so much for muscle growth and bulk. If you are looking to add mass to your arms then focus on regular curls (barbell, ez-bar and dumbbells). Even if you are looking to add mass it wouldn't hurt to do 3 sets of cable curls at the end of your workout for a little definition.

[MoroccanSword]

You are wrong, if you need mass you have to focus on machine not free weight!!! this wrong idea is very polpular I don't know why

[aburabba1632]

It depends on what level you are on...if you are just starting to lift use freeweights and the reason is simple you can lift more which gives you more bulk....however at some point you will plato and that is when you are "advanced" using the cable machine is better because it provides tension all the way, you lift less weight but the muscle is under a lot of stress the whole time so you can break through the plato period, I hope this helps.

[reverendcutterx]

Plateau, FFS.

[stopthrm]

I'll let you in on a little secret.(It doesn't matter which you use as long as you practice good form.) Anyone who tries to tell you that you cant get stronger or build muscle with a machine has a very skewed view on working out in general. There is a lot of bad information out there. Weight is weight.

[evilmickey]

Thats what i keep thinking, like why make mechines if they don't do much?

I don't really know much about all this but i heared Ronnie coleman and Jay culter both say that the only way to get deffinition is less fat. That makes alot of sence to me, people keep saying use light weight.

These videos really help, i look at mechines in the gym and i don't even know what they do let alone how to use/ajust them! I've learned that yellow handles seem to do the trick lol.

[ty99999returns]

@TeaBiscuits2 there is no better than do some kind of standing curl, do a preacher curl and maybe a hammer curl ull feel a good burn after all those just dont do all those one after the other maybe do another muscle u have that day than after come back and do bicepts u feel really good pump after u get done keep the rep range low 4-6 with intence weight.

[simen236]

@TeaBiscuits2 It's an isolation exercise, so only your biceps will be trained.

[TheWeinerdrizzler]

@TeaBiscuits2 Not better, But its not as intense as a regular bar curl

[frank3c03]

@TeaBiscuits2 nope free weights > machine

[AlexandarShmex]

@TeaBiscuits2 Better isolation,you can focus more on muscle contraction,negatives,etc.
