Yeah this one guy I follow on Instagram actually did tear his bicep tendon off doing preacher curls. But then he said that they always felt off to him and I thought, they feel fine to me. I go slow and I'm very anchored and if I ever felt strain I would stop.
He scared everyone 😂, today i did 3 sets of dumbbell preacher curls, and i was o scared to go down for that deep stretch, i was thinking about biceps tear 😂, eventually i got away with great biceps pump
I agree. I was told that every alternative day should be a recovery day, so it gives the body and mind a bit bigger chance to recover quickly. No need to keep pushing ourselves beyond the limit.
Along with behind the neck presses and pulls, upright rows, bench press with flared elbows, chest flies... Bro under me hasn't ever heard of behind the neck pull ups and pulldowns lmao
@@cristian9365 Like most movements, upright rows can be great-with a wide grip, and bringing the bar up to about chest level. Otherwise, you’re just getting crazy internal rotation at the shoulder. And why would anybody want to do that on purpose. Same with flies, you want to modify the movement to keep the stress mostly on the pecks, and not just passively on the joint. Behind the neck, yeah, that should’ve never been invented by bodybuilders that did not know anatomy. Dumbbells to the side of the head is a good lift, and won’t excessively externally rotate your shoulder joints into oblivion. Bench is OK, not the best thing for the shoulder joints. Anytime you have a straight bar, forcing the shoulders into a fixed and unnatural range of motion, is never really a good idea. Depends on your goals. And none of these will cause acute injuries if they’ve done properly. But you will definitely feel the affects as you get older. Where you will then have to deal with chronic pain through your 50s and 60s and 70s. 🤘🏻😝🇺🇸

@@dan-qe1tbI have a lot of people like that in my gym as well that are jacked so for them it doesn't matter how goofy their form is cuz their genetics are always gonna make up for it unfortunately
I just stick with solely swimming thrice a week. It's one of the healthiest and safest forms of exercize I have never really done any weightlifting anyway.
Can confirm. Was doing archer push-ups, and I injured my left shoulder a bit. I can still do push-ups and archers, but I feel some discomfort and pain depending on my hand placement relative to my body.
Certainly can, I remember when I had to stay away from heavy weights during baseball, one of my longest lasting issues is from over exerting myself with a dang 40 lbs bungee warm up. Form gentlemen and humility, if done properly you'll never have to stop lifting, and for at least those in the know unless your wasting your body with steroids, you should be averaging 3 lbs lean muscle mass production each year till bout 50, I'm only adding about a pound a year, and I feel great
@@joshuaeverett1314on average you can optimally gain 0.5-1lb of muscle per month, where are you getting that on average you should be getting 3lbs per YEAR??
Preacher curls are the best. Especially when they’re placed in front of a mirror. The way the arm rest pushes all your muscles forward makes your arms look HUGE and for that reason I love it 😊
Preacher curls are how I injured both my bicep tendons. I definitely went too heavy but I also didn't understand the mechanics of the exercise and how you can place too much strain on the tendon. If you have to do them, I suggest not going to full extension. So many other bicep exercises are safer for your tendons. I finally ruptured my right, had it repaired. Now I can feel that my left is ready to go, so I'll have to have that surgery either when it ruptures or when I just want to have it done. These were both partial tears that simply got worse over time.
Guys, biceps are a relatively small muscle. Train it as hard as the others, but don't overload it with weight and/or reps. Still, higher rep ranges tend to give you a better stimulus
What's up with this shitty advice lately? Bicep is a muscle just like any other, just because it's smaller doesn't change anything about it. You can go heavy, or moderate, or light. It's literally the same as every muscle. You guys are really stupid as hell.
Sean’s sarcasm and dead pan narrations are comedy gold…the type of person you hate but need his humour around you to keep you always on your feet because he will tell you how it is 😂😂😂
Ahh that thing. As someone recently re-obsessed with fitness and staying away from the gym this time, the first time I ever used this machine was the first time I tore my biceps. Couldn't do nothing for a week. Don't understand the science but listen to Sean on this one Kings
I've only been going to the gym bout 3 months, I'm an ectomorph, using this machine has turned my arms from Ethiopian guy to guy who looks like he been going to the gym for at least a year. If you're a skinny guy - DO THIS EXERCISE
That’s true of all lifts. PRs are to be attempted in strictly controlled settings Most workouts should be with weights you can safely control focusing on the muscles firing over moving weight around.
Prayers for quick recovery partner, your one of the few natural, excellent body sculptures. I know even you get rookie comments, this is not 1. Im 49 yrs old natural, beeen lifting 35 yrs of the 49. Ive blown up to 220 ripped till about my mid thirties, i noticed my jomts were starting to ache, as i passed my 40's , i take plenty of natural inflammation substances mosty from our wonderful natures bounty. But i switched over to body weight, pull ups and dips full range of motion of course,, every 3 months or so ill throw some plates around my waist for some excellent progressive loading, but really i just notice an increae in testosterone,, then do fromt loaded squats and cleans. Im down around 200 at the moment, i love it for the most part same strength albeit without the same endurance. It really is a whole life journey. I pray for your recovery, and you seem like a intelligent lifter, domt let pride get in the way, work your way back slowly my man
Bro, that's the dopest preacher curls machine I've ever seen. I work out at La Fitness and their workout machines are so outdated, like over 10 years. La Fitness needs to step it up.
Also I would recommend standing up on the last rep as you are lowering weight back to the preacher bench starting position. Especially if you work to failure.
Good idea to also do some targeted tendon work - strict weight training grows the muscles but doesn't do much for tendons, which drives up the injury risk. Lifters absolutely hate talk about isometric training, but it is excellent for working the tendons. Preacher curl as an example - perform your lift, then as you lower take it a third of the way down, hold for 10 seconds. Go another 3rd and hold for 10 seconds. Go to just before racking and hold for another 10 seconds. Do a few sets of this. The static holds make the muscle start to shorten and lengthen the tendon - thereby putting a stress on the tendon that then triggers healing/strengthening. I prefer to do the tendon specific stuff at home the dumbbells as it can take a lot of time in the gym away from the primary work.
The most important tip is to use an incline closer to vertical, doing this will improve the resistance profile of the exercise and take the stress off of your tendons in the bottom position (where most injuries are likely to occur because your biceps cannot produce a lot of torque at that position) Everything Sean mentioned applies as well
If you want to get a good workout with the preacher curl machine. Do one arm at a time. It will lock your body down, and it's hard to cheat. It's just you and that one arm. You have this one arm doing all the work. It will build your arm up fast with mass and strength. I highly recommend you start LIGHT and work your way up. You must concentrate and control the rep. If not, you will suffer a pull or tear of a bicep muscle. I have been doing this for years without any issues. There has been others in the gyms I workout at, tried this routine and pulled their bicep muscle. This young guy followed my advice and has been doing this routine for over six months, and his arms are up a few inches.
Bro really said never let ‘em know your next move. He talking about how to safely do a bicep exercise while showing footage of him after Tricep surgery

@@thetruthsetsyoufree1492 I need at least two days of recovery per muscle group. Might be due to stressfull work slowing down recovery

I missed having you on my feed Sean
"I lifted without proper form with too much weight. Must have been the exercise that failed me"
Best workout is to never over work yourself thinking you need to get bigger and bigger.
Light or medium weights, moderate intensity is where it’s at. I have no time to spend in a hospital or rehab.
That ending hahaha💪
It's funny how your like make sure your warmed up. Lol. So glad I found Mike mentzer
bro just straight up click baited us into this
Nice musscles keep up the good work friend.
The key to any resistance training is using no more weight than you can control in a perfect rep.
