If you’re making an attempt to construct huge biceps, you might want to work out what position lifting heavy weights and lightweight weights performs in your progress. I’ll let you know proper now, you might want to discover a method to raise each heavy and lightweight if you wish to construct your largest biceps potential. Right here’s why.
To begin, you will need to outline what we’re speaking about once we check with lifting heavy or mild. Normally, the heavier lifts are the compound actions that incorporate a number of muscle teams into the efficiency of the train. Within the case of the biceps this may be a weighted chin up as an ideal instance, or perhaps a heavy barbell cheat curl. In each, the biceps are definitely not the one muscle tissues working to execute that raise. Your again, decrease again, abs, and traps are contributing closely to getting this completed.
On the opposite facet, doing exercises like spider curls and strict dumbbell curls with lighter weights are extra remoted actions and contain a extra targeted assault on creating the thoughts muscle reference to the muscle you’re working.
Now, it’s necessary to level out that analysis has strongly proven that even in a compound motion, it’s potential so that you can activate a part muscle of a raise by focusing extra closely on it when doing the train. For instance, regardless that the weighted chin up is a compound motion for a lot of muscle tissues as simply proven you possibly can extra closely goal the biceps should you focus exhausting on their contraction through the motion.
So the place does this depart you particularly?
Nicely, you first wish to decide if you’re somebody who does or doesn’t have a very good thoughts muscle connection together with your biceps after which act accordingly. The 2 methods to shortly decide that is to evaluate how your biceps really feel if you practice them. For those who by no means really feel curls, chinups, or some other biceps train in your biceps however relatively really feel them in your forearms, shoulders and decrease again then you definitely doubtless would not have a very good reference to that muscle.
Secondly, should you contract your biceps of their most shortened place (which is elbow flexion, shoulder flexion and a supinated forearm) and can’t accomplish that with sufficient drive to trigger discomfort if you squeeze as exhausting as you possibly can, then you definitely very doubtless would not have a very good thoughts muscle connection together with your biceps.
So right here, you’ll wish to dial again the usage of heavier biceps work in favor of the lighter extra targeted exercises. In fact, you wouldn’t wish to abandon the weighted chin up all collectively because it has many different advantages for you as the most effective pulling exercises you are able to do. You merely wouldn’t depend on it because the biceps constructing train in your arsenal given how it’s being undermined by your lack of biceps recruitment capabilities.
Construct up your reference to the lighter weights and depart your ego on the door. As you enhance this, your efficiency within the huge lifts is not going to solely enhance however your means to really feel the muscle on these lifts might be tremendously enhanced. If you have already got this in place, then a reliance on the lighter exercises ought to diminish however not be deserted utterly because the reinforcement is necessary for maximizing each the athleticism and aesthetics of your arms.

Define light weight…what's light for one is heavy for someone else
I've been in & out of great shape for most of my adult life, I'm in my 40's now and it has become so much more difficult to (bounce-back) this time. My advice to younger guys… Don't get married and take 10 years off like so many of us do.
Awesome video.👍
Do what's best for you.👍
But do the workouts properly. 💪
My left bicep is hard to focus on. When I curl with it even if I try to get my brain to isolate my bicep I actually feel it more in my shoulder, forearms or traps
Great video! Can you say a little bit how you program this into your split. Would you personally do all of these on a bicep day? Arm day? Pull day? Mix it up? How many of these bicep lifts would you do in one session.
Light weight: muscle mass.
Heavy weight: muscle strength.
Muscle can be small but strong and big but weak.
Thanks for teaching me how to train I used to be a scrawny little dude. Now I’m a big jacked up beast 💪🏽
Popeye arms are straight dreams
weighted Chin ups will eventually hurt your lower back. eat more carbs. way more. you can afford it and will be in a less tense mood. Keep up the good work!
No.
Want bigger biceps or muscles in general? Do 15 reps, all 4 or 5 sets till failure untill it burns the sht out of you. BUT, barbell bench press, deadlifts and squats, keep them as strength exercises, so 6 reps for 4 sets
Thank you for typing out your script in the description! I’m partially deaf so I mishear a lot of shit and YouTube subtitles is pretty handicapped.
I used to do 30kg curls but reduced it because it was causing problems.
He is right even a a workout is for biceps but if you are not agonna feel it it doesn't work for you. But some stupid trainer force you to do it on their way even you cant feel it same happen to me
Low weights give you toned look heavier weights build more muscles.
Very good information, have been watching ATHLEAN-X for a while. Been working out for over 30 years. The info contained has been beneficial to me in pain reduction and proper mindset. Thank you.
Jeff brushes his teeth with left hand in morning and right hand at night
So face pulls?
I bet Whenever Jeff Poop , he does it Slowly for good Muscle Contraction.
Can anyone can tell me in the short what Jeff said?
Jeff's body fat percentage is so low, he lives in mortal fear of paper cuts.
Holy cow this dude's biceps swallowed his triceps.
Great video. Muscle/ mind connection
What about holding the weight eaither outward or inward ? Does this contribute to any muscle fiber tear or growth
Jeff once told Chuck Norris to roundhouse kick with his left leg and right leg simultaneously to prevent muscle imbalance.
Hey
Great video, I'm in London UK and trying to find your weight belt/band that you use for weighted Chin ups, please what is it called or manufactured by as I can only find chains on a belt.
Many thanks and keep up the great informative work.
