One thing about the fitness space is that you’ll always come across different opinions, routines, and approaches. It can get overwhelming at times, but it also keeps things interesting and helps fight off monotony in training.
The past few days have been hellish. I’ve genuinely run my body into the ground, too much running, too much overall workload, and my fatigue levels are at an all-time high right now.
Saturday was a major culprit. After an intense football session on Friday, I went again on Saturday. Then I had an unexpected errand to handle, followed by a gym session later that evening. And just when I thought I could rest, Sunday came with another errand. But I won’t bore you with all that.
Saturday’s workout was exhausting, but I got to try incline dumbbell bicep curls, and surprisingly, they were a killer.
When it comes to bicep training, the key is getting a deep stretch at the bottom and a strong squeeze at the top. That’s why exercises like preacher curls and cable curls are so effective, they keep constant tension on the biceps. But honestly, incline curls are right up there with them.
Because of the seat position, I had to put in extra effort to curl the dumbbells, and I really felt that deep stretch during the eccentric phase. Earlier today, the soreness in my left bicep confirmed it, this one definitely hit. Highly recommend adding this to your next session. Maybe even ditch the barbell curls for a bit and give this a proper go if you’re chasing optimal gains. Thanks for reading. Till next time.
