A lot of
equipment companies make Curl machines designed to allow you to subject
your biceps to full-range rotary resistance. One advantage of these
biceps machines is that they allow you to do heavy forced negatives,
your workout partner pressing down on the weight as you resist during
the downward part of the movement.
Another is
that you can often get a longer range of motion, giving you more stretch
and total contraction. However, biceps machines lock you into one narrow
movement path, which will not allow for a really full development of the
biceps muscles. Use biceps machines as a method of getting more variety
in your biceps workouts in addition to, but not instead of, free-weight
curls.
