"Magnetic Overcoming Isometric" Bayesian Curls... this takes an ordinary dumbbell curl and turns it into both a stretch-focused exercise AND an overcoming "magnetic isometric." Essentially, you'll use an ordinary garage magnet (available on Amazon - and attach it to your wrist. Then pick up a dumbbell and let the magnet contact the steel frame of a rack or other steel post. Now you'll do what is essentially a Bayesian Curl (those are normally done with a cable from behind your body to get the stretch). Once the magnet is attached, use a strong bicep contraction to develop enough tension to free the magnet from the steel. ** DO NOT use momentum or sudden movements to "pop" the magnet off. You want to gradually develop tension by contracting the bicep HARD. This working against an immoveable object is generally what's known as an overcoming isometric - you're trying to overcome the immoveable object. Here, though, once you develop enough tension, the magnet will come free and you'll continue the curl up powerfully. I found this one gave me excellent bicep activation and an intense stretch at the start of every rep. --------------- Want bigger biceps? Try this free 3 week specialization program...

One Side Loaded EZ Bar Curl (with assist)... there is more to this than just a simple single arm curl! This also strongly targets the supination function of the biceps AND gives you a serious forearm and grip work as well. I've got a 25 lb plate loaded on the one end and nothing on the other end. I'm gripping the bar right up near the plate and I'm using a single finger from the other hand to help stabilize the bar (more on this in a minute). The interesting thing about this setup is that the long, unevenly loaded EZ bar is constantly trying to pronate (rotate to a neutral position, in this case) my working hand as I'm curling. That means my biceps aren't just flexing my elbow, they're also fighting to maintain supination (palms forward/up)... and supination is one of the primary functions of the bicep. As I mentioned, I've got a single finger underneath the opposite end of the bar to provide just enough assistance to control that rotation. By changing how much pressure I apply, I can increase or decrease the rotational resistance on the fly, as needed. With a bit heavier plate, this would be more balanced, but I found 25 lbs (or less) to NOT be balanced in terms of the rest of the length of the bar. So this exercise combines elbow flexion, resisted supination, and forearm stabilization all into one exercise. Very quick and simple setup... defintely worth messing around with. --------------- Want bigger biceps? Try this free 3 week specialization program...
