    No you ****ing idiot, you said don't do biceps then in the same sentence you say do pull downs and rows (Both work your biceps). :patsch So why isolate the triceps and and do lat raises as well? I know for myself that almost everything you say is complete nonsense. Your biceps are extremely important in boxing, without them you wouldn't be able to defend yourself, transfer power into your hooks and uppercuts, or pull your hands back after punching. I don't care about your ****** anecdotes, every muscle is important. Go back to beating up kids fat boy :good

    People give 'curls' a hard time, actually alot of top athletes do curls.

    Like any single joint exercise I think they're pretty useless for an athlete (unless it's a rehab thing). I have seen some high calibre athletes do them in gyms but they're also just young guys who want to look good for the girls at the next music festival, the strength coaches certainly didn't advise them to do them :yep

    Judo athletes use them quite regularly (second to cleans squats bench etc of course) I'm talking Barbell cheat curls

    Squats sure are highly regarded around here. How do you guys approach them? Fast, weighted, explosive ?

    I'd imagine bicep curls are important for MMA fighters and bjj/ sub wrestlers

    Curls all day everyday,baby.

    Don't forget to take Celltech with your training as well. That adds like 30lbs of muscle in 5 weeks.

    Sun's out,guns out!!!!!

    I make sure to go down slow and controlled, but I try to come up explosively. If it's a lot of weight, then you won't be coming up that quick anyways, but I try to do them with power.

    throwing things is great for explosive power

    check out a guy called mick coup who writes a lot on power development and he believes throwing heavy things explosively builds up punching power

    I've seen Maidana doing BB curls, not that it matters but with around 40kg.
