After the live video Friday I have been thinking man so many of you are injured and beat up. So I decided I would make some videos to help you out. We are going to be doing a bicep workout today and only use cables. With cables you can help workout around injury's and get all healed up. So Give this bicep workout a try and let me know how it feels. Be sure to look out for the triceps workout coming out This Friday. And if you want me to make more video like this just drop it in the comments. Thanks for watching.

Been training for 30 years and I have to say you are by far the best bodybuilding channel. I have a very similar approach to training as you, if my tendons hurt I always try to find ways to work around the injury. Different grips, different machines, cables, occlusion sets etc. Thank you for all the great information I wish I had something like this channel especially during my first 20 years of training

I recently embarked on the long and arduous path toward the one-armed pull up, and have read a lot of cautionary tales about tendonitis; these cable options look great for balancing out that added stress on my elbow from hangs, so I will definitely be incorporating them for my bicep work. Thanks for another great video!

Oh yes...I love those spongy handles, and at 63 I do mostly cable work with some db mixed in. I like using those handles when doing reverse curls as it allows me to bring my fist close to my face...and give my biceps a good squeeze at the top. I never thought of supernating my grip on the crucifixion curls, I'll have to add that too. Love the videos and tips!

I've been doing the Low cable curl at 5:25 using a resistance band, albeit with both arms simultaneously, as my staple since lockdown and seen some of my best bicep gains in years. The benefits of a full stretch and resistance through the entire range of motion can't be matched.

I call the crucifix curl the spider man curl (from the movie feat, iron man) and love that better than spider curls off the bench. Some fitness channels say it shortens the Brachialis but it’s too passive for me vs doing crucifix curl since I’m activity in shoulder flexion and attempt to contact my ears. I also have a better pump when the cable is just one notch above my shoulder. Nice John, love these

I do rope hammer cable curls (3:02) laying on the seated row bench. Brace your feet on the foot pad and position your shoulders and head over the end of the bench. Keep the elbows tucked in tight to your body. Much better than standing, in my opinion.

As a very tall guy, getting on your knees to do that cable curl doesnt work well, the cables tend to pull up and not out. The best solution is to do it standing, but do a single arm and stand out to the side. It allows for the same motion shorter guys get.

I found that cables isolate those biceps a lot more than most free weight exercises. I think people have a tendency to cheat more on free weight exercises and swing dumbbells and barbells around without properly connecting with the muscle and letting the biceps do the work. People should 100% incorporate more cable work into their bicep training especially on high volume days as they can handle more workload too.
