I can't believe this is coming from you.

Curls are just for mirror purpose.

no curls = no guns for the nuns = no Instagram followers = fail in life

lol, I was still messing around in the last post.
 
After every workout, I tell myself to knock out some curls for the girls.. But I keep. Fucking. Forgetting.

A lot of confusion about curls here. Here is some info from the FAQ*:


"I've heard it said that neither the bench or the curl are very functional. What does that mean? Is it true?"

Well, this is some pretty complicated lifting science, and it's not really necessary to understand it. But "functional" basically means that you do it on one of those inflatable balls or a wobbly board. So, yes, strictly speaking bench and curl aren't very functional, because you bench on a bench and you curl either standing up or sometimes seated, or on one knee. Now normally that doesn't matter, because what matters is getting your pump on, and also getting the respect of your Bros. But every now and then you get one of those CrossFit girls in a gym, and they are really into functional exercises. So you may want to make bench and curl more functional in order to bang one of them. In this case, what you can do is curl while seated on one of those balls, or possibly rest your feet one one while benching. Obviously, your Bros may give you some shit, but good Bros will understand that you are doing it for the girl.


"What are the most important aspects of curl technique?"

The curl is a very technical lift which can take a long time to master, but here are a few pointers. First, be sure to be wearing a sleeveless shirt so people can really see your gunz. Second, remember- pale skin just doesn't bring about your peaks, so tan (either from a sunbed or spray-on) is essential. Grunting really loud while curling can be helpful, and also remember, when you've finished your set, just drop the dumbbells and scream "YES!!!!". If your Bros are around, it can be helpful to chest-bump each other.


"I've heard that curling with a straight bar, or maxing out a curl, can cause injuries? Is that true?"

No, it's not true. It's a dirty, filthy lie. Actually, nothing promotes health and well-being more than heavy curling. There are actual, recorded cases of people with damaged ligaments, breakages and even actual dead people who were found to have been restored to full health and aliveness as a result of maxing out a curl with a straight bar.

This particularly pernicious rumour actually dates back to the Cold War. Evil Soviet scientists tried to win the war by making their soldiers and spies stronger than Americans by developing something called "Olympic Weightlifting". But that's basically stupid- I mean, you just put the bar over your head. How are you going to get massive pythons like that? You aren't. So the American soldiers, who were all benching and curling, just got stronger and stronger while the Soviets just wore those funny leotards and threw bars above their heads. Before you knew it, the Soviet Union was falling apart. In a last desperate attempt to save their side, the spies of the KGB started spreading vicious and foul rumours that the bench and curl, the basis of America's military might (and indeed entire culture) actually caused injuries. Of course, while it was too late to arrest the decline of the Soviet Union, the damage to the reputation of the curl was done.

You only need a shirtless spotter who slaps you in he back (no homo).

And always remember:

10/10 form. Clearly great mind-muscle connection here, and time under tension is the purpose here. Power curls are used for powercurling meets.

For sure, the legs are stealing the gainz that rightfully belong to your biceps. Legs are the socialists of body parts. Don't be a commie.

Besides, no broad is going to say: "I really like your inner quad sweep, and your calves are just amazing" So why work legs?

I start running tomorrow, with 6km. I went to classes today and rest yesterday.

Gonna tell you.
 
I was under the impression that doing sprints and HIIT running was far more beneficial and can replace long distance jogging. I've read it on other forums and probably this one in the past.

I used to read many times that too. And that's why I called the long distance running Old School.
