  • Good basic video, but see what works for you, yourself. You got to be retarded to not know what he is talking about from your own experience. Except he skips the huge benefits of reverse grip barbel curl. See how your arms respond when you do a 21 (7 reps each of extra wide, shoulder length, and close grip. Without rest between the reps). Then rest and follow with as many reverse grip curls you can. This game is all about what works for you, not what anyone tells you will work for you.

  • nice explanation on the difference with grip.

  • great excersise

  • @worldxleader So you're saying that people with tattoos are stupid? Fucking idiot..

  • @xxXSCARFACEXxxx you are probly bending your wrist back towards you at the start of your rep. switch to a little lighter weight that you can curl without moving your wrist. also try standing in front of a mirror so you can watch your arms to ensure you are staying straight. alot of the time people use too heavy of a weight thiinking that since they can move it they should use it, but in all honesty you need to start out with a lighter weight like 15-20lbs to train your muscles to move correctly.

  • Thanks ill try it

  • @xxXSCARFACEXxxx change up the weight your using and concentrate on using your bicep, and play with the angles you keep your elbows

  • what's jwoww's boyfriend doing here?

  • when i do a barbell curl i feel it working out my forearm and i dont feel anything in my biceps? Why?

  • when i do a barbell curl i feel it working out my forearm instead?why
