Perform the bicep curl, but with one arm at a time instead of curling both weights up together. Curl the right arm up first, then lower it down. Then curl the left arm up and lower it down.
Some may argue that the tension on muscle is most significant during the mid-range, practice bicep curl with a half range of motion to let muscle generate the most force. [4] The research found that the preacher curl targets the long head of the biceps significantly only when the arm was almost fully extended, and the range of motion was short.
Unilateral training involves the performance of physical exercises using one limb instead of two. Such exercises should be considered as being distinct from bilateral, two limbed, exercises. For example, unilateral squats use one leg, and bilateral squats use two legs. A unilateral bench press uses one arm and a bilateral bench press two arms.
The strict curl exercise helps to reinforce perfect form when you do the basic biceps move. Here's how to do it, using a wall or a cable machine.
The weight is lifted towards the hip until elbow bends past 90° and the humerus is in line with the back, then lowered to the original position. One arm barbell bent-over row: [1] Done in a nearly identical fashion as the one arm dumbbell, but with the added instability of a long bar. This necessitated greater work by the radial and ulnar ...
A Men's Health correspondent visited an arm wrestling competition to guess how much weight athletes can biceps curl.

[27] But this intensity of stretching may hinder one's athletic performance because the muscle is being overstretched while held in this position and, once the tension is released, the muscle will tend to tighten up and may ...
Then, over the years, we were told it was better to stretch after exercise. Stretching can help make you more flexible, improve range of motion in your joints — and feel good.
