That's why I thought of incline seated curls because its almost impossible to cheat doing them. Although there isn't much in the way of resistance at the end of the concentric. The slow eccentrics are a killer and wears me out good.
If I choose a weight that I can get a good 8-10 reps out of (currently 10kg lmao), is that good enough for arms or should they be high rep 15+ grunters.
Most of my stuff is 8-12 reps unless I do 21's or similar.
Have only been doing 2 sets of 2 exercises twice per week for a while now but new program will see a dedicated gun day.
I don't do any dedicated forearm work but IMO the best one is the old 'weight plate on a rope', wind it up, wind it down.
I just rely on heavy weight compounds and thick bar/fat gripz work for forearms.
Yes, but on the second exercise, for first grab the EZ bar, heavy as fuck, lower reps, develop some power in the arms.
Then on the second grab the straight bar and go the very strict movement with the full extension and pause.
I don't know man. I mean I'm a big believer in isolation exercises but I still reckon you wouldn't have spaghetti arms if you ditched curls as a beginner

Yep, pretty much. Pick exercises where you can't cheat. Incline and cable curls are great. I dislike preacher curls as it brings in too much front delt.
Skull crushers and dips are great for triceps. Can't really cheat with those either.
For forearms, try a straight barbell reverse curl. You'll feel muscles you don't normally use when gripping weights.
