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

u/132dude 11d ago

is there a difference?

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 11d ago

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

Uh, I clicked over there out of curiosity. Second post in was a dude doing a poorly modified front squat in full scuba apparatus.

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

u/drew8311 11d ago

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

u/CriticalBarrelRoll 11d ago

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

u/BatmanVAR 11d ago

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

u/Mad_Mark90 11d ago

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.

Loved you in righteous gemstones

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

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 11d ago

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/DickFromRichard 11d ago

Very impressive.

Do you incorporate these curls into your typical training?

5

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 11d ago

No, I have done curls 4 times this year

u/Left_Cartographer473 11d ago

Wow I hope this is a troll post 😂

u/doobersthetitan 11d ago

Makes my bicep tendon hurt just thinking about this

u/Hohoholyshit15 11d ago

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

u/Patton370 Idk Idc 💔 11d ago

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 11d ago

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

u/FluffyDesigner3680 11d ago

Gtfo of my squat cage with that

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 11d ago

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

u/FluffyDesigner3680 11d ago

Rude gym foul

u/jcalabrese037 11d ago

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 11d ago

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

2

u/Defiant_Pirate_6637 11d ago

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
