Scott curls

One in a series of instructional strength training videos produced for an online strength training class at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse by Travis M. Erickson, MS, CSCS*D. These videos, in conjunction with on campus, small-group exercise instruction, are intended to give the student a basic, working knowledge of strength training technique including why the lifts are done, how they are done correctly, and what common errors exist.

@fenceman315

you obviously know ALOT about bb'ing, and you should definitely keep commenting on workout videos

@danelfer92 I don't know a lot about bodybuilding, the sport, but I've got a pretty good handle on lifting technique. There are others that know far more about putting a good mass building workout together + nutrition, posing, etc. than I.

so its basically a preacher curl?

[Airickson]

@Lix187 Yup, with a DB instead of a barbell

Very informative, thnx

Good, precise explanation, especially the bit about position of the shoulder/armpit.

Scott curls are basically preacher curls. The reason the exercise is referred to as "Scott" curls is because Larry Scott, the winner of the first two Mr. Olympia titles, made them a staple of his workout. However, Larry Scott recommends doing them on a curved bench rather than the type of one shown in the video. Using a curved bench allows for more of a stretch in the biceps, and they are harder to perform. A great mass builder.

@vladimirhorowitz Barbell versus dumbbell, essentially. I like these because you don't need a preacher bench to do them.

[Airickson]

@eiriksau It essentially is a preacher curl, but when done one arm at a time with a DB, it's, by convention, called a Scott Curl. I have no idea why!

[eiriksau]

nice, but its this called preacher curl? what is the difference?
