Curls with a Smith Machine????

[revexrevex]

I thought I've seen everything. A guy loaded up a smith machine and started doing curls with it, bringing the arm up so that it was perpendicular to his elbow, and back down. ANd he was Huge!

That must be horrendous on your tendons

Maybe he was performing a set of slide curls. . . . I haven't seen this exercise performed since 1995.

Slide curls do attack the biceps!!

Are they actually effective though?

They isolate the bicep.

I have never used them, but I tried them many years ago.

As long as you're not using it to squat, who cares what you do with it?

i always heard them as drag curls. i like them better with the smith machine.......... but i havent done them in ages for reg curls.

now when i do reverse curls.........this is how do them. to me, it hits the brachalis a lot more doing them this way.

Before I read this, if I had seen someone doing that in the gym, I would have thought he was an idiot. I guess the more you think you know, the less you do.

let me change what i said. i use to do these for bicep curls in the smith machine.

but i havent used the smith machine in 2 years.

i do reverse bar drag curls with free weight.
