Cheat Curls
:
To develop extra muscle mass and power in the biceps muscle.
1) Stand and
hold the bar as for Barbell Curls, but use enough weight so that it
becomes difficult to do more than just a few strict repetitions.
2) At this
point, you begin to swing the weight up, using your back and shoulders
to help your arms.
3) The trick
is to keep your biceps muscle working as hard as they can, and cheat
only enough to keep the set going.
4) Keep the
elbows stationary at the waist. We like to combine Barbell Curls and
Cheat Curls, doing a normal set of Curls and, when our arms muscle are
too tired to do any more strict repetitions, loading on extra weight and
doing some Cheat Curls to really stimulate the biceps muscle.
