What are DRAG CURLS??

[big4life]

aren't these just curls with a reverse grip?

?

No, with these your elbows are kept behind you, instead of at your side. And as you lift, the bar stays in contact with your body, like you are "dragging" the bar upwards.

I've never done them, and the few times I have seen them done the people doing them lose their form due to excessive weight.

i dont think they are anything special. just a variation that, IMO, you cant go as heavy on, and rely on other muscles (rear delts).

Word up bro...... this seems to be the unfortunate case with most exercises........
