For Biceps exercises, different training moves, strategies and plans can help you. However, today I want to introduce to you a new training method: continuous tension alternating curls
Continuous tension: always maintain muscle tension during the movement
1. Keep the biceps brachii continuous The tense, non-target arm is still contracted (isometrically) while waiting to be curled.
2. Increase the time the muscles are under tension (TUT) to give your muscles better stimulation!
How?
Different from traditional dumbbell curls
Traditional dumbbell alternating curls (arms are fully extended at the beginning of the movement, as shown in the picture) because the muscles are relaxed while they are in a stretched state and waiting for the other arm to move. I can't stay nervous!
The solution to taking advantage of the value of sustained tension, isometric contractions, and unilateral movements is to start at the top when doing alternating curls.
At the starting point of the action, the arms are fully bent. When the target arm falls (eccentric phase), the other Keep the arms bent and contract the biceps isometrically. Then curl the target arm until both arms are bent at the same time.
