I do sets with 6 seated then 6 standing for example. It's a great starter

Take your book and stick it up your ass. Take your head off your ass and then you can state that you re open minded

This is really good. When i do biceps curls, i notice that other parts of arms get tired too soon, before the biceps, because i am begginer and doing it wrong

What's wrong in performing a "full" barbell curl and having both radialis and brachiradialis involved in the motion and fatigued a little before the biceps? I think every basic barbell exercise must be a "global" exercise.. there are a lot of other isolation exercises involving only biceps…. anyway, I never performed a drag biceps curl and started to try it after your suggestion… I had immediate benefits.. it was something new and helped me to "confuse" and fatigue my biceps in a new manner. Regardind the shoulders involvement in the drag curl, i learned to pack my shoulders exactly as you suggest in other exercise (Deadlift, Bench Press). To me, suffering of both rotator cuffs pains, the shoulders packings is a miraculous trick!!!

Whatever may be the name of the exercise but in sitting barbell biceps curls , you can lift heavy curls and do more reps easily.

Because in full range of motions..
the brachialis and the brachioradialies muscle work on the bottom half , and the biceps( long short head) muscles works on the top half.

As U said the lower half are the hardest part to lift.
Cause in this lower half the brachialis and the brachioradialies muscles work, and these muscles are weaker than the biceps ( long short head ) muscles.

Therefore the brachialis and brachioradialies muscles becomes fatigue faster than the biceps muscles. while doing the standing biceps curls

So , sitting barbell curls is a top half range of motion exercise, which the biceps ( long,short head) muscles only world on it..
leading to build a huge biceps .

When you spoke about beginner gym-goers and fatiguing in the wrong muscles first – so true! Try to deadlift and I feel like I could do a much heavier weight if it weren't for my weak ass grip! Same for pull ups, my back feels fine but my hands be slipping off! So reassuring to hear it gets better

Your videos are very informative. This is the second video I watched but in each you have the camera man filming from the side or an angle instead of straight on. It's hard for us to know how to do proper form if you're not showing us straight on.

A lot of the worlds best arm wrestlers use the seated EZ curl. To that end it is a function specific exercise to build strength in the required range of motion and take the lower body out of the movement. So when anyone says it's useless, you need to ask the question 'useless for what'?

the point of this exercise is stopping and inch before barbell touches your lap and keep bar close to your body and squeeze at the top… you eliminate momentum. i usually do this as a finisher last bicep exercise and do failure sets… the pump is insane
