I'm sure. (you right too, it is Curly) Chris told me that when they were filming Battle for the Olympia, and they were covering Chris, Curly Top carried Chris's bags through the hotel and backstage at the show JUST SO HE COULD GET SOME AIR TIME AND BE ON TV. Sort of like when busts in on people and hugs them just as their picture is being taken so he can get his face in the magazines. Otherwise, he wouldn't get no publicity at all.
It looks better, you create negative space when you hit a front biceps pose, you don't want a thumb in it to distract from the lines and the bicep peak, try it.
