This is it. The ultimate exercise for getting unwanted advice from other people at the gym. I will look to incorporate these asap, if I'm lucky I'll make it onto some kind of tiktok compilation. Thanks Eugene.
Once you become jacked enough it really doesn't matter what the fuck you're doing at the gym cuz people realise it must be working. + If you care about getting respect from other gymbros that actually know what they're doing, they'll most likely figure out what's going on if they use their brain a lil bit in between sets.
I think the best part about this video is how he just tells you the knowledge he knows, admits when he isn't completely sure on things, but is honest about how he works through it and not trying to feed any crap to us. Great content man keep it up. I'm gonna start working on these today.
I can't believe this video got 12k likes, that is stupid to do 2 different biceps exercises in one they are supposed to be done separate one at the time because on a regular curl you are supposed to to full range of motion on both the positive and the negative movement of the repetitions so by disengaging the biceps in the way down you are taking away the best part of the movement for full bicep stimulation, you are doing it half way so no don't do stupid exercises like that do regular dumbell or dumbell curls then do the hammer curls alone and at the end of the bicep workout do reverse grip curls with either a straight bar or EZ bar for forearms, don't mix it that doesn't make any sense don't listen to that guy if you do that you are only doing the positive movement on the bicep missing the negative and on the way down by twisting the dumbell and disengaging the bicep you are missing the positive movement in the reverse grip curl and miss the negative movement on the regular curl, use common sense..🤷♂️🤷♂️
My elbow clicks when do overhead tricep stuff and elbow hurts when hold mits for even beinnger boxing people. I want to be able to move with and take hits to mits of good fighters but elbow would be ruined. Ill give this a go and see if sorts out elbow. Odd its my left elbow when I'm right handed, if not an injury in the past hope that means there's an undeveloped muscle of left side that leaves elbow unprotected. Hopefully this zotman exercise the missing link
It was 1 year ago since I started doing this, and this exercise has helped me ridiculously. I do armwrestling as a hobby and definetly my wrist and hand motion improved so much because of this technique. This exercise is the equivalent of Lu Xiaojun Lateral Raises but for elbows and wrists.
I was reading that these help with rehabbing tennis elbow if caught early and fixing the underlying causes. Going to add them to the routine and see for myself.
i literally started doin zottman curls this week and i thought "man those feel amazing, why don't enough people talk abt them?" only to find this vid :D, ur advice and tips are always golden uncle Eugene!
The weird technique that begins at 3:30 is called Dumbell Circular Swing Curl. It is popular among serious Kodokan Judo and Kyokushin Kaikan Karate practioners in Japan. It is first introduced in the book Judo Training Methods a Source Book written by Ishikawa Takahiko 石川隆彥 and Donn F Draeger, published in 1962. Their version uses a bigger circular motion with almost fully extended arms.
I have been doing curls all my life,this is new to me,this old dog just learned a new trick.I started weight lifting when I was seventeen,I am now seventy four.Thanks for sharing
I naturally have thin forearms and I'm wary of stressing my wrist joints. I started doing these exercises today and oh boy am I feeling it ... Only used 6kg dumbbells!
It really works. I always looking a way to improve my forearm size. I exercise a lot daily but I feel the forearm are left out. Thank you so much. I feel it on the first couple sets of 15
I think the wax-on version of it actually plays into a lot of technique similar to other exercises you've discussed on this channel - the planes of motion doing it that way are disadvantageous for things like compensatory upper back arching, that could come into play (and potentially need active isolation to avoid) with a strict front-facing curl.
I'm a girl, but want thicker forearms too! I'm gonna try this exercise, since my elbows don't really react well when I'm adding additional arm exercises, and it's like 2 in 1
Hi Eugene. Thanks for the quality and presentation of these videos - always very technical but also well explained and easy to understand.Keep up the great work.
Watching this video while wearing a TOOL shirt to then see you also wearing a TOOL shirt is next level and why I keep watching your channel. This has happened on more than one occasion.
As soon as I took hold of a pair of 23 lbs dumbbells and started doing modified Zottman curls, as Vince Gironda suggested, my chakras immediately aligned and I've been in Nirvana ever since.
Farmers walks, deadlifts and Zottman's have all been awesome for my forearm development. 💪 **Plus I love the Captains of Crush handgrippers! Those things are intense. If you can get to the point where you're closing a 2, 2.5, or a 3 you have serious grip strength. Only a handful of people on the planet have ever closed a 4.
Gonna try these out. Looks a little easier on the wrist. I find that the regular zottman curls really hurt my wrist almost as if I cant completely pronate my wrist into a good position to resist the weight.

Awesome video can’t wait to try it on my next workout just when I thought this old dog couldn’t learn new tricks thank you for your time and teaching us something new on this video 💪🏻😀
Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I was doing the Technique you showed at 2:50 for a very long time now and didnt improve much after some gains from the start. I see how much better this (to me) new technique here is because as you said the biceps helps loading the two brachii-friends!
A bicep curl into a reverse curl combo movement. The twist at the top does nothing to significantly do anything for muscle resistance, but does increase internal elbow joint stress.
After a few days watching I subscribed to this channel, I have been training in the gym for about 3 years and Teo definitely gives me good vibes, hints, tips and valuable content. But today, when I saw your Tool t-shirt, you won me over as the all-time favorite : ) Keep it up. With best regards
I hated doing zottman curls because the discomfort in my wrists but this weird motion is badass! I hope the chakras give me thicker forearms! Also It looks like some wing chung or kung fu technique. Thanks for this trick Eugene!

Thank you. With the “swing” version of course, not only do you no longer have your elbows steady by your side - as you rightly recommended in the first part - but if you go back and observe your own movements it’s especially your left arm that completes the circle well away from the side. Everything is exercise but if you want to concentrate on certain muscles this doesn’t do it, even your lumbars get a workout with this one!
What are the odds, here I was wondering why my forearms look so small compared to my shoulders and biceps and triceps. The gym gods have blessed me with ur upload 🙏💪
I just spontaneously started doing this, I like to do it with 2 different weights for example 10 lbs and 15 lbs for a minute than switch hands each set/minute.
i rarely do arms but i did on sat....wish i saw this... i usually just do 1 forearm exercise to end it.... reverse EZ bar curls... this is way different. using them next time
Whoa, so crazy... I instinctively started doing this on my own a few weeks ago... I only do it at home because I'm worried people will think it's weird...
the epitome of reinventing the wheel. Unless you are 20's and realize this is wrong but still do it... don't. NOW Let me put this in detail beyond the normal complaining comment. It involved a lot of shoulder, front delts... all around core, if you do it as he suggests later on.. And as you get older, you will realize this is less likely to be good. BASICALLY: this workout is good if you don't know a lot of changes to do in your work out plan/no experience, or if you are young. the only time this is good, is if you put it in the end of your workout and have not really focused on these workouts.. And work out for 25 mins or less. All I got is 20 years of experience, I don't compete or juice, so wtf would I know, LOL (As I have said, workout to YOUR BODY. TRIAL AND ERROR) yeah that means these vids don't mean much and you should apply it to yourself individually but.. that doesn't make them money lmao

Thanks! I said I was going to try this but I never got around to it. Yes! It’s looks like disco dancing, but I don’t bash or doubt anything I haven’t tried. I will try it slow if I don’t like how it feels and I’m sure I won’t forget about it. I take Bruce Lee’s philosophy by gathering info I deem useful and discard the useless junk. Over the years, I have learned full range of motion is only gets you halfway there. Half repetitions, powers you through plateaus and on the next level. After going through full range crank out some half reps .
Sweet. Very interesting and it appears to use a lot of centrifugal force along with natural body motion for stimulation. It really seems effective in certain aspects. I will enjoy giving it a go
Would love to see more efficient exercises like this. I’ve been putting off getting in the gym for over a decade now, wow that hurts to realize… That said as a newbie who will need to build a habit, a series of efficient exercises that can simplify and reduce the number of lifts would be an awesome resource! Please o please!
i just want to make you aware of the piper squat. im not sure how usefull it is, but with elevated heels its kind of like a hack squat with easier balance. feels pretty good with a sandbag instead of a barbell.
If you let your elbows raise during the circle motion instead of staying by your side, you can get a great cheat version of this that hits your shoulders and forearms.
I’m going to give it a try I struggle with biceps gains… gonna add this to my biceps routine! Thanks man love your channel you always give awesome advice and you’re gym is such goals!!

Zottman Curls have solved my Tennis Elbow pain completely. Their my priority when I'm training the Brachialis, Biceps and Brachioradialis.

Did a few sets over 2 days and stopped clicking but back pretty quick. Good start though.
@@nikitaw1982 commenting for update! Definitely a problem area of mine too
Sounds like I need to start doing them, how long roughly did it take to fix your tennis elbow also did you avoid heavy weights while doing it?
It was 1 year ago since I started doing this, and this exercise has helped me ridiculously. I do armwrestling as a hobby and definetly my wrist and hand motion improved so much because of this technique. This exercise is the equivalent of Lu Xiaojun Lateral Raises but for elbows and wrists.
Same, I started doing this on my own just thinking how to engage pronation and wrist movements
Do you do it with the dance or just up, turn, down?
@@bryanfranco9597 with dance, without it I feel like something is missing now, I can't do it the other way.
The Lu Raise comparison is very interesting and somehow made sense to me. Full ROM and movement quality.
I was reading that these help with rehabbing tennis elbow if caught early and fixing the underlying causes. Going to add them to the routine and see for myself.

Omg very nice.

This is a great warm up exercise for someone tackling an arm day. Very well explained as well
I naturally have thin forearms and I'm wary of stressing my wrist joints. I started doing these exercises today and oh boy am I feeling it ... Only used 6kg dumbbells!
I like Eugene Teo as a creator. No drama, just good advice from a charismatic, respectful guy.
when i do the “swimming zottman curls” in the gym tomorrow and i start get strange looks, i’ll play them the Gironda part of this video
😂😂😂
We'll probably see you in a "gym recopilation fails" 😅
It really works. I always looking a way to improve my forearm size. I exercise a lot daily but I feel the forearm are left out.
Thank you so much.
I feel it on the first couple sets of 15
You're a good teacher with good information. Thank you.

That makes a bit of sense, it is easy to cheat subconsciously during regular curls.

I got here through a travel of watching a Cristina Russo video about metal screaming, eventually Tool, and now I'm here. You get me, keep going.
Just when you think this man has no more gems he's on my feed doing strange moves I immediately will be doing tomorrow upon walking into the gym
He has an Aussie accent, l trust him completely
Hi Eugene. Thanks for the quality and presentation of these videos - always very technical but also well explained and easy to understand.Keep up the great work.
Thank you! 🙏
Watching this video while wearing a TOOL shirt to then see you also wearing a TOOL shirt is next level and why I keep watching your channel. This has happened on more than one occasion.
This is the best and only explanatory video of zotman curls I've seen.
As soon as I took hold of a pair of 23 lbs dumbbells and started doing modified Zottman curls, as Vince Gironda suggested, my chakras immediately aligned and I've been in Nirvana ever since.
Love old school exercises. Some can't be replaced.
Woohoo!! A John Meadows reference. Rest In Peace big fella.
Farmers walks, deadlifts and Zottman's have all been awesome for my forearm development. 💪
**Plus I love the Captains of Crush handgrippers! Those things are intense. If you can get to the point where you're closing a 2, 2.5, or a 3 you have serious grip strength. Only a handful of people on the planet have ever closed a 4.
same i grew my forearms from heavy back/biceps compounds
I finally got the 2 after a few months of using them. It's still too much for more than a single grip and squeeze, but I'll have to order a 2.5 soon.
Nice!
Captains of crush handgrippers?? What are these, I haven't heard of them.
Gonna try these out. Looks a little easier on the wrist. I find that the regular zottman curls really hurt my wrist almost as if I cant completely pronate my wrist into a good position to resist the weight.
Yes!
Very interesting. I can't wait to try this on arms day! I may try it at home over the weekend instead of waiting to get back to the gym on Monday.
One of favourites! Along with the one you showed with John!! Hits the forearm lime crazy

Never would have thought of that on my own, totally makes sense. Will definitely try on arm day, thx!
Keep up with this kindness and calm in your explenations, we need it.
My forearms been lacking for years hoping this exercise will help
Make sure to train to or close to failure of the target muscle, and it will work.
Add direct forearm curls too. I do 4 sets of cable forearm curls twice a week and seeing noticeable growth for the first time in my life
@@Bdavis2475 yeah been doing those for years my forearms have progressed doing those
I want to thank you for this video I believe this motion solved an elbow weakness I have from a motorcycle accident a decade ago.
Thank you for your videos. I'm working the forearms so I can keep the power in my golf swing.
Reverse grip curl is something I finish with as my biceps are beasted so it’s really working forearm I find. Each to their own of course
this is look so amazing forearm practice! Cant hardly wait 2 try it this evening. Thanks, mate! 😎🤩😁
Nice T-Shirt.
And nice advice, I'll keep it in mind in my next biceps workout.
Awesome video can’t wait to try it on my next workout just when I thought this old dog couldn’t learn new tricks thank you for your time and teaching us something new on this video 💪🏻😀
Finally I get to see the motion it makes sense in easier .....im glad...late but glad....keep up the good work 🏊♂️
Close grip pull ups are also great to do before and after those.
Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I was doing the Technique you showed at 2:50 for a very long time now and didnt improve much after some gains from the start. I see how much better this (to me) new technique here is because as you said the biceps helps loading the two brachii-friends!
People still don't get it, min 2:50.
It's for the forearms. Not biceps. It works good.
The burn you get while doing these is crazy.

I can't believe this video got 12k likes, that is stupid to do 2 different biceps exercises in one they are supposed to be done separate one at the time because on a regular curl you are supposed to to full range of motion on both the positive and the negative movement of the repetitions so by disengaging the biceps in the way down you are taking away the best part of the movement for full bicep stimulation, you are doing it half way so no don't do stupid exercises like that do regular dumbell or dumbell curls then do the hammer curls alone and at the end of the bicep workout do reverse grip curls with either a straight bar or EZ bar for forearms, don't mix it that doesn't make any sense don't listen to that guy if you do that you are only doing the positive movement on the bicep missing the negative and on the way down by twisting the dumbell and disengaging the bicep you are missing the positive movement in the reverse grip curl and miss the negative movement on the regular curl, use common sense..🤷♂️🤷♂️
Thanks! I said I was going to try this but I never got around to it. Yes! It’s looks like disco dancing, but I don’t bash or doubt anything I haven’t tried.
I will try it slow if I don’t like how it feels and I’m sure I won’t forget about it. I take Bruce Lee’s philosophy by gathering info I deem useful and discard the useless junk.
Over the years, I have learned full range of motion is only gets you halfway there. Half repetitions, powers you through plateaus and on the next level. After going through full range crank out some half reps .
Looking forward to try this next pull workout!
If you practice any type of martial arts, but especially if you practice TCMA, this is a great exercise.

Sweet. Very interesting and it appears to use a lot of centrifugal force along with natural body motion for stimulation. It really seems effective in certain aspects. I will enjoy giving it a go
Always great info and love the shirt! 👍
This guy probably gives the best hugs
Cool, never seen this before, will give it a shot
This guy is good , I' m 70 nothing seems to do much ,will try this.
Would love to see more efficient exercises like this. I’ve been putting off getting in the gym for over a decade now, wow that hurts to realize… That said as a newbie who will need to build a habit, a series of efficient exercises that can simplify and reduce the number of lifts would be an awesome resource! Please o please!
Will do!
Just go. Fill ur water bottle and walk out. Maybe sit on some of the machines. U know what uve got to do if want to exercise.
Chins, air squats and pushups.
Great tips that was awesome thanks for the tips I will incorporate them into my workout routine
Very cool! I will try this in the upcoming week.
Cool Variation. I might give these a go for the next meso. Also, love TOOL.
Yes!!
i just want to make you aware of the piper squat. im not sure how usefull it is, but with elevated heels its kind of like a hack squat with easier balance. feels pretty good with a sandbag instead of a barbell.
Great style and presentation. Loved it.
I believe going cross body like that also helps prevent lateral epicondylitis
I came looking for this move as it's recommended for rehabbing that issue.
Something new to add to my exercises
These are my go to. I teach my clients as well
God Bless You Brother! 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
If you let your elbows raise during the circle motion instead of staying by your side, you can get a great cheat version of this that hits your shoulders and forearms.
Tool definitely my top 5 band to listen too
Pull ups with the correct grip, worked for me.
Brilliant, as usual! I love your vids!! Thanks so much!
I’m going to give it a try I struggle with biceps gains… gonna add this to my biceps routine! Thanks man love your channel you always give awesome advice and you’re gym is such goals!!

Focus on each hand per movement, "time under tension" as well.
