@gangster2triggaz …
@gangster2triggaz Ok man il give u some advice if ur not doing this:
remember! Biceps are not a big muscle, train all of your body equally and you will get a functional symetric body, and with less chance of injury due to a unbalanced body..
Train:
Hang-ups, Cablerow, Deadlift,Squat, Benchpress, Standing shoulderpress, rotator cuff excersises.
And in the end of the workout u can put in like 3 sets of curls, / 3 sets of push downs.
To get a really explosive body, do powercleans etc

well, kind of; in a way. Not going all the way keeps the tension on the bicep (which you want to always keep tension on the targeted muscle in any workout). However, just like in all other exercises, it is the squeezing motion that gets the muscle builder. In your case, you want to squeeze your arm up as much as possible, then let it down slowly. Here’s a tip; if you bend over at the hips a little bit (still keeping balance), this will keep a constant tension on the bicep with no “rest”.

Not completely correct, he leans back every time he pulls the weight up. He forgets to lock his lower back in order to prevent this. You have to keep your torso still in order to get the max out of this excersize.

Do curls work your forearms at all?

Excellent demo! …
Excellent demo! This guy shows the correct way. Unlike free weights, machines that use cables put tension on the muscles you’re working from start to finish. If you really want to “burn” your biceps, start with lighter free weight curls, then move to moderate weight cable curls, both seated and standing, then finish with some preacher curls.

Why overcomplicate …
Why overcomplicate things. If your sore the next day on the muscle you were trying to workout then whats the problem with machines. I use both cause I can lift heavier on a machine safely then lighter freeweights when i get tired. Not right or wrong just what i prefer cause i train on my own and i dont want an injury

Thats what i keep thinking, like why make mechines if they don’t do much?
I don’t really know much about all this but i heared Ronnie coleman and Jay culter both say that the only way to get deffinition is less fat. That makes alot of sence to me, people keep saying use light weight.
These videos really help, i look at mechines in the gym and i don’t even know what they do let alone how to use/ajust them! I’ve learned that yellow handles seem to do the trick lol.

I’ll let you in on …
I’ll let you in on a little secret.(It doesn’t matter which you use as long as you practice good form.) Anyone who tries to tell you that you cant get stronger or build muscle with a machine has a very skewed view on working out in general. There is a lot of bad information out there. Weight is weight.

It depends on what …
It depends on what level you are on…if you are just starting to lift use freeweights and the reason is simple you can lift more which gives you more bulk….however at some point you will plato and that is when you are “advanced” using the cable machine is better because it provides tension all the way, you lift less weight but the muscle is under a lot of stress the whole time so you can break through the plato period, I hope this helps.

It depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. Cable excercises of any kind are great for definition, but not so much for muscle growth and bulk. If you are looking to add mass to your arms then focus on regular curls (barbell, ez-bar and dumbbells). Even if you are looking to add mass it wouldn’t hurt to do 3 sets of cable curls at the end of your workout for a little definition.
