You think that development would be hindered without a DB curls? Hmm I hope not, I feel like the compound exercises will target the biceps too and continue development. Ill give the DB curls a try...
The problem with lat pulldown is that a lot of people cant use that machine properly. They tend to pull with their arms instead of their lats. Besides, any free weight movement will give you better...
