Improvised this exact exercise yesterday with half the weight I would use for regular dumbbell curls and my biceps are sore today (which pretty much never happens with regular curls for some reason). Definitely be careful with extreme stretch exercises though. My advice for exercises like this would be: 1. Use signifiantly less weight 2. Do 10-20 or 20-30 rep sets instead of 5-10 3. Slow down the eccentric

It's the only exercise where I almost always have a sore bicep the next day. (Not that soreness is directly related to growth, but it sure is a good sign).

[@scottsherman5262]

Have to agree here big time...I've not ever been able to achieve bicep soreness in my 6-months of training, until today. I did 4-sets with 15-lbs bells yesterday & I'm freaking sore today at the center on both biceps, love it!!

[@andresocampo3072]

Same experience here, definitely a must

[@DudeSilad]

I sometimes do a preacher curl and lower my shoulders so that when my arms are straight, they are being forced past the lockout. The stretch is very similar to Dr Mike is doing. Seated bicep curl with the bench set at a low incline has always been a favourite of mine.

[@naturnenaturne9547]

the tension under stretch position is almost zero when doing incline curl. In fact, many studies have shown preacher curls to something like 2 time more effective then incline curls. The exercice mike is doing is similar to a preacher curl in a stretched starting position. There is probably not much difference in gains between the two exercices, but incline curl is definitely one of the worst overcomplicated exercice for biceps.

[@woundead3232]

How about be a man, stand up, brace your core and save the bench for someone else. Once your elbows are extended that’s as far as the bicep will stretch. If you are too lazy to stand up and get secondary core training, do preacher curls or sitting curls. This laying down method puts unwanted pressure on the rotator cuffs.

[@AveryRulerOfElves]

Really? What I was looking for. Everybody said they've been doing these but didn't say they actually measurably grew or not. I also think I am a forearm dominant curler maybe. A couple months ago I think I over did Incline and Preacher Curls in too many sessions and injured my forearm (brachioradialis). Ironically, the only curl variation that I found that didn't re-aggrivate it was Hammer Curls. I suppose it was because it took the supination out of it. But now I'm getting back into other Curls because I hope it is healing. Looking forward to trying these today. I'm going very light though, like 5-10 pounds light. Hopefully my arm will finally grow some.

[@MattCloutier-pl1yo]

Dr Mike. It would be super helpful to mention the weights you guys do for more "standard" bicep exercises to really help drive home the fact that weights are going to be low on this exercise. Just to help give us a benchmark for a % difference (I.e. you do 60lbs in a standard curl, and can only do 25-30lbs for this movement). So that way if I do 25-30 lbs in a normal curl, I should be 12.5lbs for this one. Just a thought.

[@supercal333]

Injury potential seems to be greatly increased, esp. if you try to use the same weight you normally would for curls. This video should come with a warning to start with less weight than you're used to.

[@RidleyJones]

I guess the thing to do is start with your lightest possible weights and slowly increase until it feels right.

[@stoempert]

That would be very hard to do because people tend to perform regular curls wildly differently. Compared to a strict curl (starting already fully supinated at the bottom and no swinging) i would say roughly 30~40% less weight. Obviously it does take some time to get used to the stretch and position, so start on the lighter side and feel it out.

[@LeoRHood]

@@stoempert i just started to do incline bench curls and i’ve had to go down 5kg (i’m only on 16/18 for strict standing curls)

[@stoempert]

@@LeoRHood That's exactly why it's so hard to come up with a ratio. But it doesn't matter. If 5 kg gives you a good stimulus just continue, i'm pretty sure 8~10 kg will be there after getting used to the exercise.

[@ardaburakcobankent1950]

is there a different feeling than preacher curl?

[@patootie3529]

​@@ardaburakcobankent1950 well of course. preacher curls have zero stretch on the biceps when your arms are in front of you but are great on focusing on the short head. the one in the video is the opposite

[@stevend481]

Looks like a front delta workout

[@TheRoyalDK]

Saying preacher curls have zero stretch is wrong. We need to differ between stretch and the lengthened position of a muscle. The lengthened position of the muscle would be when the muscle is at it longest while stretch would be when the muscle is at its longest IN THE SPECIFIC EXCERCISE. So in a preacher curl, the biceps will experience a stretch in the bottom position. In order to reach the lengthened position of the biceps, we must have exstension in the shoulder joint and in the elbow joint.

[@bumpin8833]

Have tried a similar bicep curl with an inclined bench. Set about 45 degrees.

[@GP-qz6kk]

Ya, something between 30 - 45 degrees. It's excellent, and still gives huge stretch in chest, shoulders, and biceps. This flat variation seems like a very unnecessary extreme that just puts more unnecessary strain on the shoulders and brings the floor in the way.

[@nameless-og]

​@@GP-qz6kk Same here on all your points, but ill give it a shot next time I'm on the bench anyway...

[@dexterm2003]

To the people who say you should use a preacher bench or bicep blaster there is something to not supporting your elbows the bicep inserts at the shoulder and the forearm. Because you have to isometrically contract the front delt you actually get more activation of the bicep then you otherwise would with a preacher curl or something that supports your elbow. You can use much lighter weight and really force a strong stimulus without the joint damage. When you start, these will also challenge your forearms really hard, which is nice.

[@KaHaDa_life]

[@aaron_d_henderson1984]

5:25 according to that explanation, you might as well do machine/cable bicep curls...

[@Flahtort]

Exactly. Machines tho usually dont pre stretch the bicep and rarely have resistance curve which hardest at most stretched position. On cables tho you can do that one, it was even showed on channel some time ago. Seated behind the body partial bicep curl. Video with Dr Pac and Milo Wolf if i remember correctly.

[@mmlj84]

Difference being that in machine curls your elbows are in front of you, whereas in this exercise they're behind you. This matters because the biceps attaches on the shoulder, so having your elbows behind you gives you a much greater stretch.

[@patootie3529]

​@@mmlj84 I believe he meant with cables, you can have your arms behind you still

[@haydenhoodless2055]

The point about this, I gathered, is that laying down, the weight due to gravity at the bottom position is at beyond 90 degrees to the bicep and the forearm is like a lever in the stretching of the bicep. With cable curls the weight is hardest 90 degrees to the bicep at the contracted position. I think that you could probably achieve the same effect with partial reps in the negative though personally, just using heavier weights than the lying down version with less stress on the shoulder. Preacher curls on the other hand, are the same principle. The only difference is that you have less range of motion available.

[@botherchriswinkler]

After starting to preach the stretch under tension I’ve tried horizontal bench, but it felt wrong. This small moment - to rise the chest a bit changes the position DRAMATICALLY, exercise is a true killer indeed. The biceps is “surprised” in just 4 sets like never before with a minimum overall fatigue!:) Thanks to Dr.Mike again and again, you are the best, guys!

This is actually insanely amazing. Thank you

Great tips! I would recommend that newbies start with standard moves and build up base strength before adding in these maximum stretch bicep moves. That makes sense for lowering risk of injury and leaving something to add in later to maximize things once you have a good foundation of muscle in place.

Thank you so much for this! Getting my biceps sore has been such a pain lately. Similar to my shoulders, I usually have to do so much volume to get sore. I tried this yesterday only doing 2 sets after warmup and my biceps are on fire today!

I used to do this exercise religiously every B&B day, usually 3 to 4 times a week and I gained an inch on my arms within about 2-3 months. I need to start doing it again. It really builds a lonnnng and strong bicep.

I did this workout yesterday, and it's killer! Not had bicep DOMS for so long despite hard workouts, but today, my arms are screaming (in a very satisfying way) 💪

I also went from 20kg feeling ok per arm to 12.5kg, and that's an absolute limit, so much tougher

Awesome video. I will be doing these in my routine now. Thanks for the awesome information, as always!

[@brandonhallfit]

Gonna be honest, this bicep variation has revolutionized my bicep training. I love and hate it

[@PaladinCoach]

Tried this out today... Holy crap! Trembling and sore like never before! Thank you!

I've seen the comments before when they say " perfect timing, today is the day I work out chest" or whatever exercise the video is about. But today, i finally join them in saying.... perfect timing. I'm working out my biceps today 😎
