that’s what I was thinking about training my forearms but I just wanted to avoid spraining my wrists so I thought should maybe wear wrist wrap gloves or those wraps that you wrap around the weight to help with your grip
its normal for ur wrists to hurt but if u want u can do alot of forearm exercices to bring ur ur wrists to par with ur biceps/triceps
@939291 i thought so too.
i’m pretty sure that this works the long head, NOT the short head
damn you got a big ass arms shit.
is that like a supplament for ur joints? =D
I think its ur joints that wear out~ Try joint fusion ;]
my wrists always end up hurting after I try doing barbell curls.. why is that?
close grip also meaning a narrow grip works the long head of the bicep brachil.
I noticed that too
lol
use dumbbells… dont avoid training your strong arm… if you are using correct form your weaker arm will work harder.
yeah he has it backwards on this video… he says a close grip works the inner head and it doesn’t… sound advice…
thts too much weight for u mannnn !!!!!!!!
COME ONNNNNNNN

To help set off bicep from tricep work your Barchialis muscle which lies below & between bicep and tricep. A well developed Barchialis will also help push up on the bicep when you flex and push down on the tricep. Finally get rid of that extra BODY FAT. Just like pounds of belly fat hides your abs, excess BF lies on top of other muscle that can hide seperation between close muscles like between bicep and tricep. Besides standing/sitting bicep curls do contrenation, cable, preacher curls.
Its called a BIcep because the muscle has two parts. On someone that has a very well developed bicep when they flex hard you can see the division that divides the muscle into it’s two heads. How much of a peak you can develop greatly depends on your genes which determine the length of the tendons that attach the bicep on either end to bone. The closer your hards are apart when doing a barbell curl the more your work the outer head, the further the hand grip the more you work the inner head.
For most people, one arm does dominate because most people are either left or right handed. While there are over 650 named muscles in the human body, there are many much smaller muscles that team up to do certain tasks repatively which is how one side can get stronger than the other. As to your question, do DUMBELL curls adding a bit more wieght to the weaker arm. In time, (many months) is should catch up to your stronger arm. Don’t neglect the strong side, just add 1.5 to 3 pounds to weak side.
Cut it off!
ur left arm is stronger right. so train right hand always harder than ur left.that will make it balance.
use less weight
how do i stop one arm from dominating the other when i do barbell curls? my left arm is a little stronger so it seems like it does most of the work on this exercise.
Also he forgot to mention, but you wanna keep your elbows close to your body.
