VIDEO: Jim Stoppani Seated Barbell Cúrl

[Jim Stoppani PhD]

There’s no debating the fact that barbell curls are the best overall mass builder for the biceps. Yet many guys find that when they do the standard barbell curl standing, they feel it more in the forearms and less in the biceps. And consequently their biceps growth is limited. Take a look at this:

They work too. You'll sit there and do a set and be like wtf this shit isn't doing anything then BAM.....holy shit! Nothing but bicep. Awsomeness. They are a fixture for me now.




The other thing is that these will really truely show you how much work your forearm really does when doing them standing.

Ok I did them except i did it standing so I had to just stop the rep when my forearm was parallel to the floor. I gotta say this hurt like hell and I couldnt use as much weight as the regular curls. really felt like the focus was 100% on the bicep with no let up and it burned. Looks like I gotta use a seat though since the vid hes resting the bar on his thighs for a moment before curling it back up. Gonna keep it in the rotation with regular DB curls and regular barbell curls.
