Preacher curls vs. Chin-ups OR BOTH??

[kentucky]

I usually do preacher curls, but now I'd like to change them to doing some chin-ups.

Is this an effective bicep move or not?

should I do both of them or what?

its not isolation like a preacher curl...but it fries the hell out of them. just ask bfold how many curls he does and he'll say...i flip tires. overload those biceps either with direct work or hard indirect work, you'll get results. i think the carryover will defitely help your other lifts by working your back too. thats the plus side to it. preachers are alright, but theres more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.

how cryptic was that? hehehe.

I'd say find a way to squeeze in both... don't shy away from dropping the volume on preachers.

i have no prob squeezing in both, I was just afraid of overworking it.

I wouldn't worry about overworking too much... if it feels like too much, then cut down a bit, or alternate exercises each wo
