Focus on the negative to get positive results\u2026.<\/b><\/p>\n

Wait, say what?!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t all the gurus tell us we are a product of our thoughts? Aren\u2019t we supposed to think positive thoughts? Visualize success?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes! But we aren\u2019t talking about mindset! We are talking about your technique at the gym and specifically <\/span>your technique on arm day!\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We are also going to tell you to do\u00a0 something else that may make you scratch your head.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are giving you permission to use bad form\u2026.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Wait, say what?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you always say that good form is crucial for gains and to prevent injury?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t we supposed to always use good form? Even if that means lowering the weight?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes! But what would typically be \u201cbad form\u201d isn\u2019t actually bad <\/span>for the exercise we are showing you today.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe it would be better for us to say that <\/span>we want you to<\/i><\/b> \u201ccheat\u201d a little bit<\/i><\/b> the next time you train your biceps.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often we would advise you to do this.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But with the exercise we are showing you today, <\/span>a little bit of momentum will be required<\/i><\/b> to lift the weight needed to create the kind of muscle \u201cdamage\u201d we are going for!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the exercise? It\u2019s not anything fancy. It\u2019s actually just <\/span>a bicep curl using an EZ curl bar.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The technique and tempo you will be using make this bicep curl different from what you are probably used to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to the bicep curl <\/i><\/b>— you’ve probably always been told to curl up without bouncing or using any momentum and then use control as you come back down.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is correct. Unless you are only trying to <\/span>focus on the negative eccentric <\/i><\/b>(lowering) portion of the curl\u00a0 — <\/span>which is what we are doing today.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If you have spent any time on our<\/span> YouTube Channel<\/a>,<\/b> then you\u2019ve seen us incorporate this<\/span> negative bicep curl variation<\/i><\/b> into many of our workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

But we\u2019ve never talked about why \u201cnegatives\u201d are so effective or filmed a video totally dedicated to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

This exercise is hands down <\/span>our favorite bicep exercise of all time if bigger biceps are the goal! <\/i><\/b>So we figured it deserves it\u2019s own article and <\/span>video!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of building your arms\u2026<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re sure you already know this, but you can\u2019t get big arms with this one exercise. Negatives need to be added to whatever current arm program you are using.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have an arm program you love or want to try something new, <\/span>we have an entire program designed around building bigger arms.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s called<\/span> BIG ARMS<\/b><\/a> and has helped many people (including Vince) experience <\/span>significant arm growth.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
