A BICEP curl is a full body workout?

 

[-G$-]

the wording is misleading as fukk, making it sounds like curls are a compound.

 

[semtex]

I get gist of what the author is saying, but my main issues that I see anything but this.

A BICEP curl is a full body workout?

I mean, if you're lifting some minuscule amount of weight, sure but if the weight is pretty heavy then unless your bicep strength is like whoa, then yea you would tend to want to incorporate other parts of your body to complete the move. It wouldn't be as much as the bicep muscle, but the muscles that you need to keep your body in good form are necessary to do the move correctly. I don't think the article is stupid, personally.

:dro: leaning/rocking back is not gonna make this = to a deadlift

the article is misleading if anything

any standing exercise is gonna cause "some" isometric contraction but enough to grow

If a chin up is considered a compound exercise, I don't see why a heavy standing barbell curl wouldn't be. You're using all your muscles + synergists to perform the movement.

a chinup uses damn near all the muscles in your back + abs/glutes to keep your trunk straight going up

you dont have NEAR the same contraction doing a bicep curl

and take it from me, i maxed out @ 105lb barbell curl and i only weigh 150lbs i know about the rock

imo outside of the DL/squat the only significant iso contraction comes from overhead press(due to the distance from the ground)

you wanna feel an isometric contraction? try overhead squats

If the article was insinuating bicep curls could make your whole body build muscle, then yea, I don't agree with that. Like I said before, I think this article is geared toward the lay exerciser/beginner and not you meatheads in here.
