>>47808 I would agree with the idea that just doing bicep curls is idiotic. But bicep curls aren't just for body builders. The bicep is functional in day to day activity and sports.
I, who was called a bodybuilderfag for mentioning the variety of curls and tricep exercises i do, work everything in pretty much everyway possible.
I do curls, yes, and a lot of variations. I do triceps a bunch of ways. I do chest a bunch of ways. I hit all my muscle groups from all angles.
I don't like the "strength is just compound movements" idea camp. I do compounds. I squat, I overhead press, I do just about everything, at some point or another.
But focused training can really help balance out the appearance and the strength. You don't want a weak point in your body. You don't want to have to stop doing a compound exercise because your arms are tired when your legs or shoulders are fresh. Targeting the arms can help bring them up to speed.
Really, for as much as some people espouse curls, and others compounds, and others just squatz, the best approach is almost always a balanced one that incorporates all of it.
