[Podcast] You Should Do More Than One Type of Bicep Curl

Which type of bicep curl is best if you want to grow your biceps?

A new, impressive bicep study adds to the evidence that just doing regular curls might not be optimal, comparing bicep growth between two exercises where one was performed with a shortened bicep position and one with a lengthened bicep position.

After discussing optimizing your bicep growth, we move on to two listener questions. See the timestamps below!
