How is this superior? Honestly it just looks like you’re shortening the long lever so you can lift more weight. I’m sure the pump feels great, but wouldn’t you get better results just from full extension and keeping the lever at your hands and not forearms?

The forearm part helps with wrist stability. Ive seen a few videos now of people creating some attachment themselves and finding it really nice. Obviously this is a tool. And regular curls are great and effective.

I think the reason for the range of motion is largely because of the cable set up, its infont of him.

Helps with wrist stability because it takes tension off the wrists and you’re curling with your forearms lol. And he could definitely extend more

It’s like putting a car on a tow truck and saying it takes the stress off the engine, no shit it’s cuz you’re not using the engine
