curl bar

[mcnasty75]

on your standing bicep curls what bar do you think is better straight bench bar or a curl bar or does it really matter???

They both have there benefits. They work two different part of the Bi. (long head and short head) personally I do preacher curl with curl bar and standing with straight bar....you will just have to find whick one gives you better pumps.

I remember reading that the "ez-curl" bar is more of a forearm workout, b/c it takes the stress off the bicep. I personally just use the straight oly bar, but thats all I pretty much use anyways.

when using a curl bar it moves your hand position more towards the position of a hammer curl. and a hammer curl is moving more towards the position of a reverse curl. therefore it works more of the outer biceps. this is my theory and i hope it makes sense.

it is neither a good theory, nor does it make sense. Good try.

I use both. I load up the regular bar (in the squat rack, of course) and walk up to it like I'm gonna curl it. Then, right as I'm reaching for the bar, I run over to the EZ-bar and start blasting my bis with it instead. My theory is that this keeps the muscles guessing.

straight bar is best for the bottom of the biceps, the part closest to the bone.

You guys are on a f'n roll.
