1. Heavy Weights: Studies show exercises that you can move more weight with generate bigger muscle growth. If you can’t curl your bodyweight maybe the chin-up is for you. 2. Compound Movements stimulate more muscle fibers and induce more growth along with a higher release of growth chemicals such as Testosterone and growth hormone. Bicep chins stimulate the lats the biceps rear shoulders and target the lower lats Bicep curls are not compound movements.But rather isolation 3. Range Of Motion that a muscle goes through in a exercise impacts the total amount of work that the muscle fibers do in a set period of time. 4.Nature: Man has been developed into what he is today thousand of years ago and adapts well to what was natural to them at the time, so the question is do you think actions that the caveman did daily more closely mimic the bicep curl or the chin up / pull up Take a look at monkeys and apes in the wild. They're in far better shape than human beings. They have greater endurance and flexibility, and they possess far superior strength. The exercises that resemble what these primates do most are pullups (and chinups). Monkeys and apes that climb trees for a living work with their own bodyweight. They don't lift weights or use machines. And so, is it any wonder that a 60 pound chimpanzee has triple the strength of an athletic male - while a gorilla has the strength of 10 Olympic weight lifters? And just how can monkeys be so incredibly strong, you ask? The answer is simple. From doing all those pullup type movements. They've mastered their own bodyweight while pulling, hanging, climbing and swinging from limb to branch. 5. Cheating: many people cheat in the bicep curl or make the weight so light it’s ineffective well then we need to look at the chin up exercises full range of motion. It's difficult to "cheat" on a chin up exercise! If you do chin up exercises correctly (going all the way down!) you will be hitting your bicep muscles with a long, fluid range of motion. This is essential for building long, strong biceps. 6. Forearms: Pullups and chinups build great grip strength. To make a final note to my point I did a quick search on gymnest workouts the first 3 of 3 that I looked at did not include one weightlifting or machine exercise. so I then did a image search for gymnest Well for not doing Curls his biceps look pretty good to me. Adding Pullups To Your Workout Set a rep goal such as 30, 40 or 50 reps and take as many sets as necessary to reach your rep goal. As you begin to get a little stronger, an advanced variation of strategy number one is to set a rep goal. For example, if a conventional routine calls for 3 sets of 10 reps, that's 30 reps. If chin ups are a challenge for you, set a rep goal of 30 and take as many sets to hit 30 as necessary. Don't obsess over how many reps you get in one set. For example: 5 sets of 6 6 sets of 5 8 sets of 4 10 sets of 3 15 sets of 2 Soon you should be able to do bigger sets once you get to sets of 15-20 you may need to buy a weight / dipping belt. |
