Mar 26, 2012 10:39 AM: i've found that instead of alternating arms endlessly, using a "left, right, both, both" pattern seems to work more effectively. usually done in sets of 5 (15 pumps each arm)

Mar 19, 2012 7:16 AM: With correct form this puts more emphasis on the long head of the bicep, a good variation for this is to angle out your arms to form a "Y" shape to put all the pressure on the long head....just be careful with going heavy though.

Nov 9, 2011 9:21 AM: I personally don't let my arm hang since I feel my bicep relaxes. I keep the dumbbell just past leg level while my bicep is still forcing to hold up the dumbbell. Much better burn and will keep you honest from using too heavy of a weight.

Nov 9, 2011 9:18 AM: Not as cool looking as some of the other bicep workouts but this one is nice because it hits the top of the brachii. Good for a variation.

Jul 26, 2010 3:29 PM: I use this exercise as my biceps assistance exercise while running a 5x5 program. Gives a great full range-of-motion stretch. Though it's likely more of a result of eating a hell of a lot and the quality of the rest of my program, I've gained some good bicep size from this.

Apr 3, 2010 7:28 PM: I really like this lift. I got a tip from somewhere or someone to offset your grip. Hold your hand against the inside or outside plate. Makes you work to hold the DB level. Will make you sore.
