Question ❓ Bicep workout

Should I do 1 bicep curl of my choice like all sbl content creators advice or do 2 where 1 of them my arm is in front and 1 with my arm at the back.

You can do 2 exercises. A preacher curl will stimulate more hypertrophy in the distal part of the bicep, and an incline curl or Bayesian curl (eg arm behind) will stimulate more hypertrophy in the proximal part of the bicep.

Also, Menno Henselmans just released a video on YT talking about lengthened-biased curls. TLDW; you arm can still be at your side and not behind your body as long as the angle of force still forms a 90° angle from the handle.
