Best way to identify imbalances, poor form, and see how your muscles coordinate together is via video.

Immediately after a set of strict curl+military press I do a superset (5 rep, equal weight/30lb) of hammer curl into neutral grip press.
Objective is to just activate biceps and delts in their weakened states.
The reps almost feel like just doing what I can to get weight up and then doing negatives (just controlling/resisting against the fall back down)

Who the fuck told you any of this was ok or a good idea
Parker Anderson
user, why are you doing this weird meme stuff ? pls stop
also these are not strict curls, keep your ellbows on your side fixed
you are not using your biceps to lift the weight, also
>looks like some mexican serial rapist
get a proper haircut and start buzzing your beardgrowth
Jason Richardson
Lose the band, stop going on the balls of your feet that's retarded, and quit throwing your pelvis forward when you curl.
Also trim your facial hair and get a haircut

Form check on your db curl to overhead press?
Who gives a shit, it's not like you are gonna hurt yourself, use this as a main movement or compete
Ryder Young
these are the people i ask for advice. now i know better thanks op.
Isaiah Lewis
Wouldn't recommend doing this. I tried it once because I was bored and I got some pretty bad tendonitis in my dominant wrist that didn't go away for like 3 months.

haha

Anyone know what the benefits are of doing this over seated dumbell shoulder press followed by bicep curls in a separate exercise?
Is combining the two like this better somehow?
Kevin Ward
Short answer: no. Long answer: fuck no.
Juan Reed
If I see you doing this kinda shit at my gym I'll kick your teeth in, faggot.
Check your form? Nah, b, you better check yo self.
Jose Sanchez
>Why
More complete full body muscle activation.
I originally started doing curls into OHP with one arm. Then I found that doing both at same time engaged more stabilizers to counteract the weight. 2 months ago I started to walk around house and do any exercise I could on balls of feet to passively work calves (free gainz). Resistance band was thrown in recently because why not.
Working calves, hip abduction, core (balance/counteract 60lbs) and back in a single exercise.
Imagine being this insecure about how you look doing exercises.
>facial hair
Was literally told in almost all CBTs to grow facial hair.
Took the pill and started growing it as part of self imposed monk mode. Growing it until I reach 10% bf and have 6pack.

Jesus Christ lmao.

Hows my deadlift looking? I think I'm losing tightness slightly but the progress is coming.
Jayden Ramirez
Ahh the worm pull. Looks good user
Charles Kelly
shit form, you need at least 90 degrees lean at the top to lock out
Christian Lopez
I would expect that 80% of people on here should have dumbbells at home that they can curl for reps.
I'm curious how many people have actually tried this before criticizing.
This exercise is considered an auxiliary lift.
Primary bicep lift at gym is with 100lb barbell into OHP or incline curls.
Jace Anderson
JESUS. CHRIST.
LMAO.
Daniel Morales
Yeah uhh, i think i trained like this when 11 years ago. Did a few more things that almost fucked me up.
But to tell you the truth user. You can't 'merge' a isolation with a compound like that. It's not efficient.
Ayden Anderson
you're better off keeping them separate.
I'll admit I don't regularly OHP anymore but to make progress, you need quantifiable lifts that you can progressively overload.
you'll thank me when you're repping lmao3plaetz.mpg bench
This lift has too many variables and you can't make any real quantifiable progress past 50lb dbs (if you even make it that far)
Sebastian Collins
Someone form check me please.
Mason Nguyen
what the motherfucker are you doing with your feet? Stay in place
Jayden Robinson
You're gonna blow your knees up if you keep spreading your legs.
Also work on your shoulder mobility and speed getting under the bar, or you're gonna end up with awful elbow tendonitis. The weight of the bar should land on the front of your shoulders, not on your hands and wrists.
Robert Turner
Gotcha, thanks. I'll work on that
Noah Nguyen
How is my barbell row form?

Cameron Williams
That fucking ending too, just end me please.
Dominic Lopez
Pretty sure the path of travel for the bar should be a straight line.
Grayson Campbell
OP are you retarded? Unironically read starting strength and stop doing your weird meme shit. Go get a 185 overhead press and a 500 deadlift then you're allowed to meme about like an idiot.

What do you do instead?
Like I said, this is more of a cleanup/auxillary exercise after I get back from gym or the day after.
It's more of a novel way of working calves (standing on balls of feet), core (balance), and forearms (using thick grips).
No need to waste time at gym doing this low of weight (30-40lbs) when I can do it at home.
My primary bicep exercise is barbell curls and incline curls (5x10). Secondary is chinups and various rows.
My primary shoulder exercise is barbell curl into OHP (5x10). Or if biceps exhausted, use leg/knee to assist in pushing up a dumbbell and then OHP.
If I can't make it into gym, I substitute with handstand pushups (5x5@170lbs) against the wall.
Currently on 100lb fixed barbell if muscles are fresh. My shoulders are stronger than biceps so often need to switch to DBs and lift using knees
I plan on doing pure/dedicated OHP in squat rack once I'm at 60lb DBs...I figure at this point I'll be able to do 1pl8 barbell without trouble...as I find barbell exercises to be much easier (removes stability component of DBs).
Another variant I sometimes do is adding an ass to ground squat while arms are in topmost OHP position. It's mostly a core exercise if I'm feeling lazy and dont want to do crunches that day.
