Yes, for the 5-day THT plan, those 8 sets will work well.

With regular preachers the resistance falls off the biceps after about half way up on the positive part of the rep. With cable preachers, the resistance is constant throughout, especially at the top where there is maximal fiber recruitment. It’s about the angle of the load. I cover all this in the cable preachers article here https://musclehack.com/build-huge-biceps-with-this-unique-exercise/

@Jay. Exactly right. I’m always shocked at how many people have fallen for the compound-only nonsense when the evidence to refute it is all over the place. Not least on my blog.

So sick of hearing that parroted all over the boards. Important yes, but only part of the equation. Isolation finishers are a must IMO!

Thanks for a great article Mark

@Dan. Yes, I call that movement a close-grip palms-up pulldown. It’s quite good for the biceps, but as a lat exercise, no way. The bi’s will fail first. For lats, have an overhand, not underhand grip for pulldowns.

Yeah if the preacher machine isn’t heavy enough, leave it. Pity though. So do Conc curls and/or standing cable curls.

Eg I fold my left arm across, then press my right elbow against it and curl the right arm. Then switch arms. It’s not perfect and can tire out the supporting arm, but we make do with what we got. Hope this helps!

I usually end my arms workout with them but maybe I should start with them. Also I wonder if reverse grip lat pull downs would be similar to chin up and prove to be almost completely ineffective for lats. I never liked it as a back exercise. Yet I see people doing it. Great article

my gym does not have any preacher benches or attachments for the cable machines to do this, there is a preacher type machine specifically for seated curls using both hands, think it’s hammer strength and uses the number pins for load/resistance

the problem I have with this is even on maximum, 10 reps feels fairly easy, and I am by no means strong in my arms, so I don’t really know what is going on there, as an example I find regular curling 8kg dumbbells a reasonable weight.

that
