Arnold’s Favorite Biceps Exercise (MADE BETTER!)

From the creator

Arnold Schwarzenegger is no doubt legendary and known for his incredible biceps.

Doing this, we are limiting our strength throughout the whole exercise to what we can not only curl in just the full range of motion final seven reps but those same reps performed in a fatigued state. We can do better than this. The key is taking advantage of the strength curve on the biceps curl. If you break the curl up into three parts (as we do in the 21’s) you realize that the two easiest portions of the lift are the first half and the second half, with the hardest part being in the middle one third. Breaking it down even further, of the two easier portions of the lift the first half is slightly easier than the last. If you wanted to get the most out of the exercise you would want to match your strength to the curve. You actually can do this. Instead of grabbing the weights that you normally use to perform bicep curl 21’s, reach for a pa
