      @Snoboi 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

      Yeah but bodybuilders often disregard pull ups as a bicep exercise once they realise there are much more effective ways to isolate biceps. Most bodybuilders with any decent understanding of biomechanics will assume better isolation = more growth since the biceps are receiving the most optimal proportion of exercise exertion, so it’s easy to look past the potential for compound lifts to be effective. This isn’t a matter of “I didn’t know biceps were heavily used in certain pull up variations” they know that. It’s a matter of “I didn’t consider this muscle group could be treated like the ones we usually use compound lifts for.” Bodybuilders aren’t just all collectively stupid, they’re actually very well informed if they achieved getting past intermediate levels naturally. If they know something works best, they’ll be doing that. There’s an actual reason no one really does this for bodybuilding, because it’s unintuitive for anyone better than a beginner

      A good bodybuilder will never let the proportions get ‘out of hand’.

So I don’t actually know what a ‘good’ bodybuilder is. I guess it’s personal. But if you are able to compete you have to follow the judges ruling I guess.

      @@The_Honcho maybe if you want to build biceps, isolate them. Chinups are not for biceps, it’s still a back movement that simply involves the biceps. It’s actually not that good if you want to maximize gains because your biceps will fail first and not your back, meaning it’s a weak-link excercise. You would do much better with a pullup variation + any biceps curl, still a good exercise just has a small issue.
      If pulldowns are better than pullups, how come pulldowns do not carry over well to pullups but the reverse does?
      I can tell you are either weak in pullups or haven’t tried them yet for a longer period of time because you wouldn’t say such a thing and noone does. Look around for actual good naturals on youtube, not this dipshit.

    @OsamaBinLemon 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Started doing calisthenics and decided to get stronger doing weighted chin-ups. Got to the point where I was able to hit five strict reps with a plate, starting from a dead hang, explosive on the way up, second pause at the top, slow eccentric, and biceps definitely responded to it. Now the only curls I'll hit are incline or pelican curls for the loaded stretch.
