Positions of Flexion Arm Workout – Biceps Triceps Forearms
www.leehayward.com One of the most effective workouts for building muscle in the arms is using a training technique called “Positions of Flexion”. Which basically means training each muscle group through it’s full range of motion; starting with a compound mid-range exercise, then moving on to an exercise that works the muscle in the completely stretched position, and then finishing with an exercise that works the muscle in the fully contracted position. To give you an example, here is a typical bicep workout that Arnold used to do: · Barbell Curls (this is a mid-range exercise as most of the tension is on the biceps in the middle of the rep) · Preacher Curls (this is a stretched position exercise as most of the tension is on the biceps at the bottom or fully stretched position) · Concentration Curls (this is a peak contraction exercise as most of the tension is on the biceps at the top of the rep when the biceps are fully contracted) Lately I’ve been focusing my own workouts around the “Positions Of Flexion” concept and the results have been awesome, I’ve gotten the most intense muscle pumps that I’ve felt in years. In the past I usually just focused most of my efforts around the big basic compound mid-range exercises, but by incorporating fully stretched movements and fully contracted movements I can tell that I’m working muscle fibers that are not getting touched with just basic compound lifts. POF training utilizes the best of both compound and isolation exercises to …
a little 2 much swing with those barbell curls MR..
dumbbell kickback tricep extensions aren’t being done effectively
“not about the weight you push, it’s about how you push it”
u tank
work on yuor EZ curl form
yea i was gonna say the same its not all about the weight proper form with a bit less weight is better. If u cant do proper form and your struggling alot do less weights… Decent vid besides that.
It’s ridiculous how pedantic your all being!!
There is no “myostatic reflex” in the streching exercise. and There is no PEAK contraction(pause) in any of the contraction exercises.
anybody ever heard of telle curls? post a vid if you do. i really couldnt understand from descriptions. if not, oh well. chin ups (unassisted) are better for your bis anyway.
close grip supinated grip (fingers facing you, knuckles away from you) chin up’s are better. you have to be specific. Also, using a grip where your thumbs and index fingers are visible but your other fingers are not visible is a great way to do pull ups as well for biceps. Overall, you cannot beat properly done “Scott Curls”. This is where you have a pad on your triceps and your arms are at a 35 degree or so angle. Isolates the bi’s the best.
i thought rocking you body back and forth wasnt good and doesnt build muscle??
cant u break or have problems with your back when swinging like that in the begaining
I am afraid 1:00 is not stretch position, but contracted position
