How about also incorporating a single arm bicep cable curl to focus on balancing strength on each arm? Would you recommend this?

I’ve been lifting for 5 months, and I’ve made ok gains. I found your site a little over a month ago and WOW, what a difference after starting Total Anabolism 2.

I incorporated the bicep cable cur for the first time, instead of ez curls. In the past I’ve had trouble getting the “burn” and total stimulation from my bicep routine, until today. I can’t wait for more!!!

in your book ‘total anabolism’ you have mentioned ez-curls as a good exercise to build biceps,seems like you have changed your opinion on that.my biceps are small when compared to the rest of my body muscles.can you please suggest me a good workout routine for my biceps,as dragging the preacher bench seems not so possible in my gym.
cant wait for the series,
thanking you in advance,
balu

One piece of equipment that allows the bicep to perform all its functions is the SupraBar Cable Curl Bar. For people that have tight extensors and flexors, this bar with its unique mini bars will allow a more natural and comfortable means of achieving maximum bicep function without the “wrist-hurt”.

I’m the troubled guy from the previous post who was asking ya about training at home. Yeah, I was asking about training without weights and the most efficient way to do so.Plus the kind of diet that compliments it perfectly. Please dont redirect me to another website to learn about training without weights…..I wanna hear about it from you.

Listen man, I know that I wont be able to achieve the He-Man kinda physique by training without weights or by not going to a gym. I also know that most of the stuff that you write about is done using proper gym equipment….So my question is a bit off the track here….But still I can make transfrom my pathetic physique into a fairly respectable one with some of your help. I kow that this is like consulting a doctor without paying the fees but……..

Oh…and what kinda eggs should I take? Boiled or scrambled? Whats the difference?

iv heard a lot about using light weights with more repetitions in order to pump up ur muscles( say about 25 repetitions least for each set done). I wanna know if the fact is true, does the light weight enhances your muscle growth more?

Good question. This is ok but you must stand back a few feet from the pulley as too steep an angle will not have the desired affect at the peak contraction point.
@David @Robert @Vishtasp @Omar. Thanks very much 🙂
@Maverick. I’m assuming you ordered books from Amazon by clicking through one of the links on this page? If so you need to contact Amazon about that.
@Kyle. No worries mate. I totally understand that, especially in the bodybuilding world.
@Keith Davis. No, but this is an easy mistake to make (I even heard a pro bodybuilder say it once but he was/is completely wrong). If the function is to supinate the hand, this simply means that we can only achieve a maximal contraction with the hand in the fully supinated position – and max fibers will be recruited. To interpret this to mean that we should incorporate the PROCESS of supinating the hand from a pronated, or semi-pronated, position during a curl is incorrect. Good observation though man.

I apologize for getting a bit “dickish”, but as I’ve said before I really think you do great job on this site,and have the utmost respect for you. As soon as I put “faith” in strangers with great ideas, I also put a healthy dose of suspiscion. I’m too used to people “pulling a fast one” on us iron novices. Keep up the good work, and I wll continue to direct people to your site. Have a great day.

I’m new to your website, but am already looking forward to reading all the other articles. Meanwhile, I completely agree with your two factors here to stimulate good muscle growth: exercise working in harmony with function of the muscle, and exercise using maximal resistance at peak. Since I have incorporated this in my workout routine I see good gains. And I am definitely going to use the cable preacher curl using the bench…a great tip from you indeed! Thanks, and looking forward to new infos from you.

Always a hater near by. Any how good luck to all who are going to do your training sessions.

Makes sense so it’s bye bye EZ bar… hello straight bar.

Sticking with the supination theme “Supinating the hand is actually the primary function of the biceps” shouldn’t we all be doing dumbbell curls and supinating at the same time.
It’s long been a classic exercise.

It left me anxious for the series of articles!!! I can’t wait to learn the function and right resistance for each body part!!

By the way, I’ll be one of those who will LOVE it!!!

Thanks for everything Mark!
Cheers from Mexico

Certainly not. You’re right, I think I would sacrificing my credibility if I did such a thing. However, Mentzer, Jones, McGuff, John Little, Darden, were all part of the research since summer last year. However, the ‘Arm Blast Experiment’, and the whole-body routine I have developed is my own and is unique. However, I have stated before that it is indeed a high-intensity protocol (of sorts). The book you mention to my knowledge doesn’t mention at all working a muscle group in harmony with its function, nor list exercises for max resistance at the peak contraction point.
Cheers.

You’re claiming that you’ve developed this system, Mark, but it sounds very famiiar. After all the good things you’ve done on this site, I hope you will not take credit for the philosophies of MM, and ultimately, Arthur Jones. Please do not sacrifice your creibility that way.

Can’t wait for the series. I too put the cable preachers into my bi workout yesterday, and was really pumped. the DOMS is just starting to kick in now! Thanks for all you do.
