![]() ![]() So whatever portion of a movement has this forearm angle, has the greatest leverage demand: The most disadvantageous leverage is when the forearm is parallel with the ground, making it perpendicular to the pull of gravity. What I think this is attempting to get at is the difference in terms of leverage demands on the elbow flexors when the forearm is at different angles relative to the earth. Secondly, there is not 'additional' gravity when performing 'diagonal' exercises (whatever that means). ![]() Firstly, gravity is a pulling force, not pushing. The second part is a bunch of nonsense that doesn't convey a proper understanding of physics. This 'decline curl' (seems like a term that could apply to many things) is difficult to visualize, and I don't think should be restored until we can find either a picture or a reference which can properly explain what it is. If there's something of value here, let's clean it up properly. I cut out this part, because it legibly is very vague, and not written properly, and uncited. Additional gravitational push is applied to the weight when performing the exercises at diagonal angles, increasing the stress on the biceps and therefore increasing the results from the exercises when performed correctly. The incline and decline biceps exercises' effectiveness lie in gravity. With the elbows flat against the bench, and the chest pressed close to the preacher bench, one performs a traditional curl motion with the weights, focusing on stressing the biceps. Yankees 76 Talk 17:28, 13 June 2011 (UTC) Reply ĭecline bicep curls are possible as well, and are usually performed with a preacher bench along with dumbbells, a straight bar, or a curved bar ("EZ bar"). Problem is finding reliable sources that keep track of such events and records. It seems weird, but I guess there's a organization or "world championships" for practically any fringe sport in existence. EncycloPetey ( talk) 22:46, 10 June 2011 (UTC) Reply Agree, however when searching for records, I found videos of powerlifting type contests with guys curling. Also I think there are some powerlifting federations that have Biceps curling contests, though finding reliable sources for records for these is difficult.- Yankees 76 Talk 12:36, 10 June 2011 (UTC) Reply While showy and popular, the biceps is a relatively small muscle its exercises typically are not included in strength competitions. If you can find it within yourself to bypass the flipancy of what I've just written (to the serious point I'm trying to make), I think it may be a valid point to give some consideration to what is considered a "good" biceps curl by international standards.there seems to be no mention of this in the article.Ĩ2.5.68.95 ( talk) 00:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC) Reply Try looking in Guinness World Records. ![]() Maybe it should be added if there is.I'd like to compare it to my own puny best (65KG in my prime, using the board (AKA preacher bench) in the seated position.not too shabby.right?.). Is there any such thing as a "world record" for biceps curl? I ask simply out of curiosity. No further edits should be made to this section. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. EncycloPetey ( talk) 01:48, 23 March 2011 (UTC) Reply The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Curls involving the biceps of the leg are called "leg curls". ![]() No sources I've ever seen call it an "elbow curl". Oppose - All exercise books, manuals, and magazines, both amateur and professional, call this exercise the biceps curl. Dictabeard ( talk) 13:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC) Reply A biceps curl is a subset of elbow curls, therefore since this article already more broadly addresses this, we could reconstruct it to be more specific. Would anyone be averse to this?Įspecially since "bicep curl" could technically also refer to a knee curl via the use of the biceps femoris. It includes movements meant to isolate other elbow flexor muscles such as the brachialis and brachioradialis via methods such as preacher curls and curling via hammer grip or prone forearm. Clearly the scope of this article has gone above and beyond, outside of movements meant to isolate the biceps.
