Bar Curls - Core Stability

CGPU's are a killer for biceps.

Spot on. I used to only do 3 sets of these but increased to 5-6 sets few weeks back. I've noticed really good carryover to biceps.

How about pull ups first then dumbbell work later? Since pullups are much harder than curls it would make a lot more sense
 
Yeah I will try that when I want to mix things up a bit, I've only just discovered the beauty of incline curls and will be sticking to them for the time being.
 
X-reps - you know reps you do at the end of a set to further extend pain, I think they can be partial reps. Anyway I'm saying I like CGPU's because of how good the negatives are
 
i haven't done curls in months haha all compound for me :)
what do you fellas reckon about doing chins/pullups with knees close to chest to target core?

I've been doing weights for about 10 mths and reckon I've read about 72,486 comments from guys putting shiit on curls. It's beyond boring reading the same predictable sheep mentality stuff almost everyday.
 
Curls

I do curls and other isolated movements as opposed to some compund lifts due to a disease that if I cause too much pressure or impact to my abs can stop me lifting altogether for considerable time. So I don't deadlift (used to be my favourite), or do good mornings, etc. I can partial squat against a wall with lighter weight. I can't even do crunchs at the moment. So I try and get my core stability by doing alternate one arm dumbell exercises (ie hamer curl supersetted with shoulder press)and holding great form. I'm super sensitive to my core at the moment and can feel when doing decent standing curls some of those stabiliser muscles kicking in. Its better to curl and not deadlift than not lift at all is the way I see it. Just a thought from an reformed curl hater (worth less than 2c)...
