    The Larry Scott training video he did with Francis Benfatto that you uploaded completely changed my arm growth. I thought I had weak insertions, but I had just never trained them properly. Starting with warming up the forearms and wrist, and even incorporating them into a well controller preacher curl has done wonders. Thank again Carlos!

    This is somewhat true. The set up is the rack that holds the bar should be on the outside of the stand or the front at the lower and ready position for the lift. You stand on the back of the stand with the top of the pad at breast level. Leaning over the stand grab the bar and pull the weight by first pushing your shoulder blades together behind you, and this causes the elbows to bend at that time bring your elbows together behind your back and hold the top position for 2 seconds. Let your shoulder blades relax and now push them to the front to begin the lowering of the bar. As the bar begins to fall pull everything to your back again slowing the bar down as you set it back in its cradle, and resisting the fall all the way down. You will breathe out with a hard breath to lift the weight and will continue to breathe in your nose and out your mouth to lower the weight. Always watching the weight. The idea is pretend you are working in a field as a farm hand and retrieve supplies from the side of the truck over the bed. When you grab that weight you don't press it up in this fashion, you'd stand the weight up and bring it to you over the side of the truck bed. If you were standing above someone in a hole and they handed you this weight you'd pull the weight to you not lift it higher, or if you had to lower a thing into the hole you wouldn't lower it in this fashion because it could fall on someone. The idea of this stand was to simulate a work scenario that you'd be in that puts division between you and the lift. The truth is it's being used wrongly and that's why the injury occurs. Please learn to use this stand correctly.

    In my opinion, doing curls using an emphasis on a bench greatly underloads the biceps, unlike a simple lift. On the bench the pumping and impact on the muscles feels much worse due to the rigid fixation, but this is my opinion

      The upper part of the amplitude is absolutely ineffective; everyone keeps the weight relaxed on their elbows. I specifically trained for a year only on a bench, the result was near-zero, the muscle felt bad, I would say disgusting, the only thing that can be good is if you do it like Larry, at the lowest point without support on your elbows

    Arthur Jones discussed the pitfalls of this type of preacher curl around 50 years ago. They're better (IMHO) when the bench has a relatively steep angle, or do it on the flat side (upper arms perpendicular to the floor) so your biceps actually get some work at the top of the movement. Larry discovered this himself with spider curls. To be fair, Arnold had great arms before he ever stepped foot in Vince's gym, but felt the preacher helped his "lower biceps a great deal" (I suppose he means the Brachialis.) Still, an interesting video with plenty tips!
