@Abi. Since there’s nothing unhealthy about saturated fat, you treat it the same as protein or a carb. Do you ask yourself is there a healthy limit to protein or carbs? Just eat the natural fats that occur in your diet.

@M You could replace the straight bar curls with these at the end of your workout.

@Giorgio. Thank you sooooo much, buddy! Comments like that keep me going. THANKS!

@Jared. Feel around for the peak contraction point in each bicep curl. There’s a point where the resistance falls off the bicep because of gravity. You can feel this “sweet spot” yourself. Hope this helps.

Should I use this range of motion for any type of bicep curl? I’ve been trying to curl all the way up, but if that’s unnecessary, I’ll cut it out.

Mark, you’re truly the greatest fitness model there is.

So much bullshit claim made by other wannabe fitness guru’s.
You’re the only one that backs it up with hard evidence.

Usually I don’t share things on Facebook, but your work is TOO important for the world not to share.

Mark, where would you work these in on THT 5.3? I’m on week 7 of the 5-day 8-12 routine. Arms are my Wednesday, so for Biceps, I do Cable Preacher, Incline DB Curl and Straight Bar Curl. Thanks,

great read man.
mark,i know this is not the article to ask this,but i read you article “saturated fat,not guilty as charged”,but would you say there should be any limit till where one should restrict his saturated fat intake?
and also do we count calories from “incomplete protein”,because if it is incomplete,we might not get its calories,is it?

@Rich. I can’t even imagine trying to keep on top of another social network lol. If anyone else wants to take my vids and loop them, be my guest 🙂

@Chris. Awesome! Good man. I love to see guys your age training hard 😀

@Tony. No, definitely not. Doing sets that slow will mean you have to use a super-light weight to accommodate it. It also means less muscle fiber recruitment, and you won’t recruit the type 2b muscle fibers, which are predominantly responsible for size increases.

Great video Mark, though did you consider using something like Vine as those loop over and over?

Hi Mark
I have just finished training my Triceps and Biceps which included the concentration curl. Luckily I am performing them as your demonstration. Just about to take my protein shake. Not bad for a 70 year old.

Isn’t it best to do it very slow!
10secs up and 10 secs down.. The bicep really gets worked then …

@Mark – my trainer at the gym had told me to do these standing up but it never felt comfortable. I did these sitting as you said this morning for my workout and what a difference! My biceps are actually still sore from it 😀
