At least once a week, I do bicep curl towards end of my weight training. But why do I do them? Do I need bigger biceps like men or train to be a bodybuilder? Not necessary. I do them to protect my shoulders and joints. In weightlifting, when my program has a lot of press exercises (bench press, overhead press, etc.), I will do different combinations of pull exercises (pull up, weighted rows, bicep curl, deadlift, etc.) to balance counter muscle groups. You use your lats, biceps, hamstring to move weight toward your body in pull exercises. In yoga, chaturanga dandasana is great for strengthen the chest, arms, shoulders and abs oblique but it is a press exercise, you move weight away from your body. Since there aren't many poses to balance this movement, yogi often has overdeveloped muscles in the front of the shoulders. I highly encourage to add bicep curl in your training routine. There are at least 10 different variations to do a bicep curl. I am doing a barbell curl (20lbs) and this setup enhances isolation, prevents swinging movement in the arms, and targets my biceps. If you do not have access to these equipments, it can be easily perform with 2 dumbbells at home. Keep your arms tucked close to your body and curl up. Do 3 sets of 12-15 reps. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😘#bicepcurls #chaturanga #yogalife #liftingweights #bodymovement (at The Rack Athletic Performance Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2N38aAANk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dxq8pnh0xkcb
