Did I stumble on a new Bicep exercise or am I just amateur in dark?

[jacked44]

Got to be dumbbells. Actually I was using kettlebells. The arms must be at side and palm facing hip I think was best. You just pull the weight up along your body's side as close to armpit as you can bring it. Your elbow should move back behind you. Isolate biceps . Start it after already exhausting with regular curls with dumbbels or bar don't matter. Cause its like you are completely fresh for this one immediately next. As @Ozzy619 mentioned. BURN OUTS which =' DESTRUCTION OF BICEPS W/out spot. But dumbells for this move. FYI I am pretty sure straight bar curls will ruin your elbows DONT DO THEM with heavy weight. not good idea..

And this motion we are talking about I HAVE NEVER HIT MY OUTER BICEPS LIKE THIS DID... EVER. We are talking some "TC" from Magnum PI Bicepts (Personal Idol-LOL). There is no question this exercise will put a bulge on the outer arm bicep area where I really cant think of one I have ever found to do that - Other than rows... But this is way better than the effect on biceps when doing a heavy back day..

Its some good shit.

Appreciate the endorsement and confirmation Ozzy..!! They rock. I am so excited about this come back. I am on 2 and 3 per day visits to gym right now. Shit I am even getting to devote an hour strictly to cardio in the 530-6 AM hour.. Just for starters... Im fucking loving this. If I go where I think I am going< I think I am going to be qualified to sell Gazelles on TV.. LOL

Vince Gironda was a big proponent of dragging the barbell or dumbell up like that for bicepts.

No I just watched this one. He's not doing that. Hes focusing on similar concept, but hes still making elbow a big PIVOT POINT, rather than the "Pendulum" that just bends as much as it has to to PULL THE BACK OF THE ELBOW UP. The idea being lift the weight straight from Ground-to-ceiling. As opposed to swinging-it-out at all...

** Another way to summarize is to make the BACK Of THE UPPER ARM WHAT MOVES laterally , as opposed to conventional curls where the lower arm/forearm do the lateral moving. Tuthfully the elbow will BEND just about as much as it does with any curl. It just never becomes a max pivot point on the joint and just think of the elbow as the "connector to the free hanging forearm"...

Here is I believe the origin: http://www.ironguru.com/the-vince-gironda-body-drag-curl

Just stand up straight. Grab something heavy in each hand/ Then try to pull that object straight up along your side, and PUT IT IT yer armpit.. Then repeat..

** If you face your PALM to the REAR, it will pretty much put that ELUSIVE BULGE in your outer bicep...

Face to top of your hand out, and palm to hip and side - it will hit both biceps so hard - They may lock you in a ZOO.... LOL

** one of the KEYS to this exercise is to keep movement in line with side of body, and you can also get it BEHIND your body even. But moving hand in straight line UP AND DOWN and WITH NO LATERAL SWINGING of HAND..

I'm going to have to try this. My forearm to bicep ratio blows and my forearms take the entire load on almost all bicep moves.. isolated or not.
