Bicep Blaster

[mlong23]

Anyone ever use a bicep blaster. Been thinking of getting one. If you don't know what I am talking about, it is basically a piece of metal that goes across your stomach, to where your arms fit into a groove for curling.

you can achieve the same thing with drag curls.

i dont have one but i like using them for triceps on the tri pushdown machine, great isolation exercise!

Cool piece. Old skool. Reminds me of Boyer Coe-he was the arm blaster poster child back in the day.

You don't NEED one, but they are very nice.... Esp if your Biceps are lagging, and you wanna isolate them.... They work great for Tricep push downs too....

I have one its wierd getting used to it but it works once you get the hang of it.

Its good if you ever feel your shoulders becoming fatigued during a bicep workout - then you know you should be more strict and this will help you.

Even with the arm blaster it's still easy to cheat a bit ... i've used it in the past but find the incline seated dumbell curls still the most isolating vein poping exercise thats pretty much void of any cheating ...

Funny watching guys in the gym ... i've seen maybe 2 in the past year actually do a barbell bicep curl correctly . The bar should trace your ab's on the way up ... most guys curl like there reaching around a barrel on the way up . Done correctly the standing bicep curl will build some nasty arms with much less weight then you think is needed .

Check your form before incorperating fancy devises .. that picture of arnold sold millions of those arm blasters in the early 80's ... but then again a of picture of arnold holding a can of useless protien powder did the same thing

I got on a couple months back after reading the encyclopedia. Awesome tool! My arms are really growing... finally.

Drag curls are performed with the elbows at the side, curl the bar ,allowing it to travel about an inch or two up the side of the body,a good bicep pumper!

ok so to make sure I understand you, it is basically a partial regular curl?

It's a full curl,using controlled movement.
