    Anything with a different force vector
    SQ: 225x5 (High-bar ATG)
    DL: 295x5/315x1

    "Many basic or compound exercises (e.g. squat, bench press, etc.) have a bell shaped resistance curves or shift the resistance through multiple muscle groups throughout the exercise's range of motion allowing the muscles to momentarily relax between repetitions. This period of momentary relaxation between repetitions allows greater opportunity for momentary blood flow permitting the clearing of acid accumulation."

    I have found that straight bar supinated grip curls on a preacher bench + standing DB hammer curls have worked the best for me.
    the first will really target the hell out of your biceps, the second will finish them off as well as work other supporting muscle and grip.

    My typical biceps day consists of barbell curls, standing dumbbell curls and then preacher curls.
    "Shut up and lift!"
    "Eat big to get big."
    "Deadlift and grow."
    'Train, Eat, Sleep."
    "Knowledge is power."
    "What does not kill you, will make you stronger."

    Ergo sum fortissimus.

    The only issue i would have with hammer curls is that i use olympic dumbbell handles and they are 20" long, won't this limit my ROM with the hammer curls?.
