Of course you're pedantic [MENTION=6722]Bazza20[/MENTION]; anything to disagree.
If you can't be bothered training calves then I assume you have pretty good ones.
I can't see how curls help elbow health.
It kills my elbows to do curls.
Might be age I guess.
Was a brocurler in my teens like most.
Gave up late 20's as my elbows would hurt too much.
didn't matter what type of bar or grip... even with dbs

Before I gave up on them many moons ago I tried all kinds.. including cables. with and without elbow support (preacher bench or inner thigh like concentration curls)

Empty oly BB so 20kg. also doesn't seem to matter what speed I do it with.
Towards the end, before giving up totally I did Drag curls... these didn't hurt as much on the elbow but started wrist and shoulder pain so it was all over.
At home I've only got an oly BB and plates and cage and bench so no more curls.
straight bar curls give me crazy golfer's elbow too. Seem to be relatively ok with db's though. Cable machine was shit too.
Can you do chins straight bar?
I have the 45deg attachment and do chins with that as elbows prefer it and I've found if you angle the torso forward you use a lot more bicep than back.
Not nit picking at all. You were the one that said to train all muscles equally which in my opinion is stupid.
I also wouldn't train arms as hard as chest, back or legs either.
Calves and forearms, couldn't really be bothered with 5-10 min personally.
[MENTION=6722]Bazza20[/MENTION];Personally I think that's just as stupid. Who is going to put as much effort into training forearms as legs.
I never train forearms, calves extremely rarely and you can't tell.
As much as people bag the bros. If you just want to look good spending most of the time training your mirror muscles is the best bet.
Last night I saw 6! Young mavericks standing in a circle doing something that looked like curls.
Amazing.
Haha taken it to a new level...love your work...or lack of
No worries. I'll remember for your future posts what you say could be the opposite to what you actually mean.
We all have opinions but I've yet to see anyone with well developed muscular biceps that doesn't work them directly.
The argument is as silly as saying Your quads get plenty of work from dead lifting.
Put in the effort (regardless of bodypart) + train towards your goal/bodypart your wanting to develop = development/growth
If people dont understand this then maybe they need to take up model aeroplanes as a hobbie and not weight lifting.
I can't comprehend the attitude toward one particular body part and I don't where where or how it started, it's baffling.
Somedays I dont even know what I am training or what I will train - doesnt change my attitude walking into the gym - oh its back today thats 98% effort i'll put in - oh chest thats 100% effort - legs 55% - guns - 110% (you see what I did there #classic)
Having a mindset that your going to go about training bodyparts on different levels of intensity is simply setting yourself upto fail...
