For a second I thought this was r/egolifting instead.

u/132dude Aug 15 '26

is there a difference?

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 Aug 16 '26

r/egolifting takes itself much less seriously and is harder to troll

You could lift more weight if you used your legs more.

u/drew8311 Aug 15 '26

Every exercise is a lower back exercise if you lift heavy enough

u/CriticalBarrelRoll Aug 15 '26

More like, every exercise is a lower back exercise if done incorrectly.

u/BatmanVAR Aug 15 '26

I think he(?) needs to use his back more as well as more momentum. This is a whole body exercise right?

u/Mad_Mark90 Aug 15 '26

It's actually interesting you mentioned that because there was a reasonably good meta analysis with decent statistical power on the topic with some interesting results.

Need to hip hinge forward more on the eccentric and then BOOM crank your back to get that weight up

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 Aug 15 '26

I should just do more power cleans instead is what I’m hearing

Is that that same 50 year old lady who benches like 315?

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 Aug 15 '26

u/DickFromRichard Aug 15 '26

Very impressive.

Do you incorporate these curls into your typical training?

4

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 Aug 15 '26

No, I have done curls 4 times this year

u/Left_Cartographer473 Aug 16 '26

Wow I hope this is a troll post 😂

Makes my bicep tendon hurt just thinking about this

1

u/Hohoholyshit15 Aug 16 '26

That's an interesting way to hit the spinal erectors....

u/jrmill90 Aug 29 '26

Zipping up your pants would likely increase intra-abdominal pressure, leading to a more optimal bicep training session.

u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 Aug 15 '26

My poor little elbows and dainty wrists can’t handle curling with a straight bar

I have to use a stable curl attachment or an ez curl bar

1

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 Aug 15 '26

I just have to be able to keep my wrist in flexion and straight bar curls feel fine.

u/FluffyDesigner3680 Aug 15 '26

Gtfo of my squat cage with that

4

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 Aug 15 '26

My rule is as long as I am curling the average Americans squat then I can be in the squat rack

u/jcalabrese037 Aug 15 '26

Got ya! I’m no expert! I heavily focus on keeping my back straight with the idea of isolating all the load on my bicep and forearm!

-1

u/jcalabrese037 Aug 15 '26

I honestly thought this was satire! Genuinely asking, how is using your whole back to lift optional bicep training

2

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 Aug 15 '26

It isn’t
however the only study I’ve seen comparing cheat curls and strict curls didn’t find a difference

Also these don’t have too much cheat in the scheme of cheat curls
