THE Best Bicep Exercise

It's the Bayesian Curl and we are going to show you why

Why the Bayesian Curl? What sets the Bayesian Curl apart is its emphasis on stretch-mediated hypertrophy – a potent muscle-building mechanism. By performing curls in a lengthened position, thanks to the cable's backward pull, this exercise puts your biceps under optimal stretch under load. The result? More effective muscle growth and an unbeatable pump.

Getting Started: The Bayesian Curl The Bayesian Curl is more than just an exercise; it's a game-changer in bicep training. To get started, you'll need a handle attached to a cable machine. Here's how to position yourself correctly:

  3. Form is Key: It's crucial to keep your upper arm pinned to your side throughout the exercise. This helps maintain focus on the biceps without unnecessary movement.

  4. Execution: Aim for a set of 8-12 repetitions, focusing on maintaining a tall chest, eyes forward, and avoiding any twisting of the body or shoulders.
