Who does them? Why do you do them?
Do you do them Arnold style with arm hanging down or elbow resting on inside of leg?
I did them he other day for the first time in years. Not sold on them.

Not being the most experienced guy around here, you're probably after a stronger (pardon the pun) opinion, but I love em.

I do them Arnold style.
 
If i do them it is usually at the end of a workout as finishing exercise, with me elbow resting against my inner thigh. I find to get the best out if it you need to lean slightly forward, use a light weight and really concertrate on the contraction of the bicep to move the weight instead of just lifting it to the position.

As a starting bicep excerise I don't particularly like them.
 
I don't do them not because they don't do anything. You are moving a weight so they obviously do something. I just find them mind numbingly boring so never bother.
 
Aren't Concentration Curls supposed to be to build the peak of the Bicep. As more of a refining the look of the Bicep.

Didn't you feel embarassed doing them in a gym GROAR.
 
I switch them weakly with spider curls. I find spider curls give a simmerlar pump in that regard. And both hit peak pretty well :)
 
I like to them once every 2 weeks but i Do mine with a cable standing up .The continuous load from the cable always gives a really good pump.
 
Ive been doing them for a few weeks on a makeshift preacher pad using 20kg dumbells. I was told horizontal hand/weight position builds the peak while vertical builds the length. As to how true this actually is I am yet to find out. Yes it is mind numbing but I spose thars why you use music.
Cheers
 
Haven't done them in over a year, might give them a crack, started doin 1 arm tricep pushdowns last few weeks, good for forced reps.
 
I did them like this. It's harder to cheat because you cannot leverage off your back.

I assume most would be doing it like this.

Last time I did them was back in 2008, thereabouts. I was one of those guys who insisted "I eat a lot," you all know the type, so it wouldn't matter what I did it wouldn't have caused me to get any bigger. So I can neither credit nor discredit their effectiveness from personal experience. I like the idea of being able to spot yourself and do negatives on each arm, so that seems like a pretty good reason to do them.
