Worst Bicep Curl Variation Ever? (AVOID THIS!)

When it comes to structuring your biceps workouts to build bigger arms, there's no need for "unstable" biceps curl variations like this. Instability does not increase muscle growth - it has the direct opposite effect by reducing mechanical tension on the muscle. If you want to build bigger biceps then there's no need to deviate away from basic barbell curls, dumbbell curls, cable curls or machine curls.

He also can't get full range of motion because he will drop the ball.

[xjet]

At least, with his palms level like that, he won't spill his beer!

[bluehornet]

The best exercises are always the simplest ones instead of overly complicated ones its almost like as if exercise doesn't have to be overly complicated

[Max-lvrq]

You can’t say this is the worst curl variation. Remember the no-weight curled😂😂😂

[andremp]

Imma start clearing down the fitness gimmicky influencers - already started

[sman]

Unstable exercises are excellent for stability and joint congruity

[hikermichael]

The micro-movements to adjust the other forces acting on it actually helps build more fine motor movement. I've done these when training for boxing. Accuracy and power is key. This isn't gimmicky

[kostasboica]

This is an exercise on how to become the perfect waiter

[TheNunakun]

Great forearm exercise though.
Best exercise for loading groceries in the car.

[dancoglianese]

Absolutely love the short vids! They are perfect!

[wesleygaitan]

I'm pretty sure he does other exercises to balance it so I wouldn't put this aside

[jimkelly]

Totally agree with you. That dude didn't get those biceps by lifting a 25 lb medicine ball

[ChilledBeans-irzb]

This guy has taught me so much, for the longest time I thought I needed to do weird an unnecessary workouts like this because I constantly saw them on social media and they made them sound great and effective. Thanks you for informing me and many others keep making videos 👍🏻

[medcardman]

He’s not trying to isolate a bicep curl. This is a a more difficult vartient that loads the bicep while the forearm and wrist aren’t contracted. Also, there is a lot more stabilization going on in the surrounding muscles. This obviously isn’t for beginners, but the way you talk about it makes it seem like you aren’t very educated in fitness.

[charlesrodolf]

I would have to disagree on that. Rings exercise are dope (such as rings dips) BECAUSE of the instability.

[gabriellee]

You've also got to respect if people can't afford proper equipment but he is absolutely right

[mrcrowley]

well, maybe hes working on stability. i dont think this is ALL this guy is doing. shit like this(unstable moves that requires balance ) is good for working the stabilizing muscles and joint health and doesn't take much from your mucsles in terms of recovery time because of low resistance (cuz u cant do it heavy)

[AkiraTheFinnishLapphund]

I don't agree, this exercise is meant to take away the forearms from the movement which it does perfectly, notice how his palm is facing upwards all the time and that he doesn't go full range of motion? That is bicep activation at its peak!!!! But yeah some people just have start working out consinstently instead of focusing on excercises specifically

[boris_fityl]

I personally think this exercise is even more effective than the normal curls because, when you do exercise the same way as the guy in the video you turn to do it more slowly cuz you are trying to stabilize the ball which is more efficient and puts more intense on the biceps mean while when you do the normal curls, you do it fast and not so efficient 👍
But it’s not for beginner though more efficient
