Preacher Curls

[Serea]

How important is it to do preacher curls? I work out at home, and don't really want to shell out over $100 for a preacher curl station. I'm thinking of building my own. Are preacher curls totally necessary to begin with? I main do straight barbell curls and hammer dumbells curls at the moment.

Will concentration curls have the same effect?
Bicep peak?

just build your own. even a plank of wood is enough

haha bicep peak not for mass....that was a good joke

if you have an adjustable bench like for inclines ect. then stand behind it like you were gonna spot someone and do single arm db preachers...I grew up on those

 

[audiophyle]

anyone have a picture of the bicep peak you're talking about? I'm not sure what that means.

You only get the biceps peak if you have the natural genetics for it.

 

[audiophyle]

yeah but what is it?

I think it's when the outer fiber sticks up more than the inner, creating a cute little lump that makes the muscle group look so much better.

[rant]Damn my parents and their peakless genetics.[/rant]

No you don't need it and no they are not essential.

With respect, anyone who tells you preachers give you peak or fill in the gap between your bicep and elbow know fuck all quite frankly.
