Been doing alot of cable curls currently and they seem to be hitting the biceps better than anything I have done in a while.....never been a huge fan of concentration - I just never feel like I am overloading the muscle as much as I should - yea the stretch etc is great but yea just never been a huge fan....I guess you can't argue with Arnold though....haha
I have been doing dumbell incline curls, getting a full stretch
I find that a really good exercise also, don't need big weight and always get a great stretch holding my elbows back as far as possible. Definitely an effective exercise. I don't mind traditional concentration curls, but cant seem to get that same stretch with Arnold curls.
Everyone seems tp be talking about stretch??
I find constantly keeping a load on the muscle seems to be good for a pump, alternate DB curls is about the only bicep exercise I will do these days.
Dove't over analyse things.
Over time you will work out what works best for you.
I know, I'm just saying the more you analyse it the more you realise it's simply a case of keep going until it hurts, then do a bit more.
If cable curls only recruit 80% from the biceps, then you can probably lift more weight (unless another muscle is the "weak link"). But at the end of the day, if you're lifting as much as you can, then all of this stuff gets worked out by your body automatically
I just do a variety, whatever I feel like at the time. Even lying supine curls some times...never see any kunce doing those!
Would love to try those arm blasters like Arnold used to use but would feel like such a bro pulling it out at the gym

I've been finding cable curls good for constant tension lately. Just have to make sure the elbows/scapula don't creep forward.
