THE ART OF DUMBBELL CURLING! SILVER ERA SECRETS FOR SHAPING THE BICEPS

[@makarovkid9696]

RIP, Leroy Colbert. The first man with 20 inch arms.

[@igorstein5616]

Malkarov Kid Yep and Natural

[@josephperkins4080]

Actually the strong man Loui Apollon had 20 inch arms before him

[@freddmi5212]

Ahem... I like Leroy but I doubt he has always been natty during his (short) career.

[@trappenweisseguy27]

With fresh arms at the beginning of a bicep session I use the dumbbells. I find there is beneficial stress to the forearms in isolation. I alternate arms while keeping a good squeeze on the handles. I finish with hammer curls but do both arms at the same time for added difficulty. After that I move to the barbells including a bit of cheating at the end. I’ll finally finish on a machine where drop sets are convenient and you can focus solely on contracting the biceps after your forearms are cooked.

[@truongsinh9955]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Zeller curl the same as the modern "barbell cheat curl"?

[@mrjro68]

G.E.Bookworm I have question will you be doing a video on mace bells & Indian clubs ?? I have been using mace bells for 3 yrs & Indian clubs as well...

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Looking to

[@richardyoung1890]

I have been using the Zeller Curls since your feature on it! So for me and my workout partner both really feel our biceps the next day like we haven’t felt in a long time!I have long arms at 6’3 and always had difficulty building arms but feel the negative portion of the movement fighting gravity seems to be one of the keys!

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Woo hoo!! I am so happy, this is rekindled feedback I like receiving, people a actually trying something, you honour me and this channel. Made my day!

[@moresalesoryourmoneyback]

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Cool

[@cheyennew811]

I would be interested in the book on Bronze & Silver era curls.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Coming up

[@THEPROPHETSEERISAIAH]

Can you show this in a video?

[@dikasailo7502]

Classic best body

[@igorstein5616]

Leroy Colbert was brilliant and Natural

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Such a nice guy too

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

He wasn't natty though. Other than Reeves at the time none of them were natty. It was all marketing tricks www.reddit.com/r/nattyorjuice/comments/cwe4wr/leroy_colbert_biggest_fake_natty_ever_claims_to/

[@vanderbiltst]

Arti Zeller grew up with my father in Williansburg Brooklyn!

[@elasticharmony]

💪💪💪🏋️

[@victorhernandez1857]

Any golden era dumbbell triceps exercises for a golden era superset?

[@t-bone6636]

overhead dumbbell extensions supersetted with one arm kickbacks is a good workout

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

The art of dumbell curling... Flex at the elbow. The end.

[@edge3220]

Flexing at the elbow has been my biggest problem for YEARS. It wasn't until recently I realized that's a mistake. Since I started focusing more at the shoulder I've gotten better results.

[@t-bone6636]

@@edge3220 basically bending the arm forward - like Leroy Colbert at 5:00 -> I do this method aswell.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

@@t-bone6636 Works well

[@LXRD-SUPREME-]

Wow great content alot of nostalgic old-school weight lifting. Thank you

[@Biggmofo]

Mr. Golden Bookworm, what do you think about Arthur Harris, the guy on the yellow muscle builder cover in your intro? I think he’s pretty underrated considering his accomplishment in size and conditioning for that time.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Underrated, will feature him too

[@mensa517]

i tried Leroy's curl......that shit ain't no joke and the pump hurts like crazy

[@nativecharleston4080]

Great video as always. But if you have any control over it, I get rid of the music at the very end. Pretty terrible actually

[@LorentzHaugen]

I'm buying that book for sure! Love this old school info.

[@t-bone6636]

Hey Golden Era Bookworm I dont know If you saw my recent Video in the comment section but I basicaliy was asking If my Intention was right that Leroy Colbert did bring the Arm all the way up elbows up - so it is confirmed for me now.

[@t-bone6636]

5:00

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Glad it's confirmed

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Thank you for all of the outstanding videos. There is no school like the old school especially when it comes to bodybuilding.

[@rafael9910]

I saw Rich Piana doing the Zottman curl.

[@kushtrimbajqinca1365]

Whos the first guy doing standing dumbbell curls?

[@bjenkins3860]

I like using football bars....nuetral grip helps you with getting weight on the bar.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Works a treat

[@nusense808]

That double bicep shot of Leroy is so bad ass! What a genetic freak

[@bikrambaruah7216]

Fantastic methods 🤓👌👌🤗👍👍

[@charliesierra6919]

Those Zeller curls I must try! Great tip and fantastic superstars of the real bodybuilders!

[@johnspartan9839]

Another gem!

Gen from GEB

[@hardcoredak]

Thank you for sharing this info. Love all your videos. Good information.

[@nusense808]

If Leroy didnt get injured early on he would have been a real superstar!

[@garyf.3328]

Very thin waists seems to be one of the keys to the classic physiques in those days !

[@closegripbenchpress489]

the dumbell pros are useless when you use a barbbel

[@Positivelifeacademy]

The build is beautiful

[@conorolaf1762]

Very informative and well done.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Thanks

[@jamilleriggs7128]

Thank you thank you thank you.

Welcome

[@MarshOakDojoTimPruitt]

thanks

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Welcome

[@Mani_Matter]

Bizeps most important muscle!!!

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

I finally agree with you!

[@gendale9992]

Its calves

[@gendale9992]

@The Fire Rises Brothers Yeah, they need to be hit with a lot of volume and very frequently

[@tanhuulusoy]

@@gendale9992 in my experience going HEAVY works better, high intensity. The reason is Because of the fact that we already walk around constantly and it our calves this way. The calves need heavy weight because of it

[@dionysosadwan551]

Its the forearms man. You need to close that CoC 1 Mani.

[@SuperJustinian]

Good stuff!

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Thanks

[@bhavyamishra2251]

Sir please bind up all arms or curls exercises of golden , silver or bronze era

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Yep, writing a book

[@bhavyamishra2251]

In a video please coz everybody can't afford

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

@@bhavyamishra2251 NO, in a book

[@johnspartan9839]

A book sounds like the next logical step. Three seperate with any luck. (Bronze, Silver and of course Gold).

[@bhavyamishra2251]

Sir i am from india. I am very fond of vince gironda by heart. I am a zym trainer who wants to deeply undrstnd the logic of all exercises especially arms from that era. If you r writing a book thats great but how much people get chance to get that. Very rare

[@jaggeriscoughmedicine]

Τhose are good exercises The problem is how to incorporate them in a training.

[@PhilRockabill]

I do a bicep only day. Works for me

[@Cladius76]

There is no Silver era or Bronze Era in Bodybulding or literature!! Just Golden Era, Early Era, Modern Era.. And Stop use that annoying termins please!!

[@pygmalioninvenus6057]

Why are you the Golden Era Bookworm if you prefer the silver era? I think you should rename yourself to Silver Era Bookworm
