Biceps folding the bottom pulley is a pull exercise with an insulating character. Offers the possibility of execution in many positions and with different grips and hvatove. Can be incorporated into programs for beginners, intermediate and advanced fitness enthusiasts or bodybuilding.

Moreover, women and professional athletes love it. The first is easy and convenient for implementation, the second - because of the enormous variety of options to play with the points of maximum muscle tension.

Contraindications

Workout with injuries in elbows, shoulders, shoulder girdle, wrists should approach with attention to its implementation. Performance with greater weight in the upright standing position carries the stress on your back, abdominal muscles if you fail in its stabilizing function. People with problems Cross recommended the implementation of its seat on the bench or the floor.

Involved muscles

Dynamite
Two-headed muscle forearm, biceps (Biceps brachii)

Synergists
Brachial (Brachialis anticus)
Brahioradialisi (Brachioradialis)

Extras and dynamic stabilizers
Shoulder muscles, front head (Deltoid, Anterior)
Predmishnichna muscle (Wrist flexors)
Trapezoid muscles, upper and middle part (Trapezius upper and middle)
Lift the blades (Levator scapulae)
Right abdominal muscle (Rectus abdominis), in upright position performance
Obliques, in the exercise with only one hand
Long dorsal muscles (Erector spinae), in sitting position on a bench or unilaterally implement with one hand
Gluteus maximus, in upright position performance
Quadriceps, in upright position performance
Calves (Gastrocnemius), in the upright position of performance in the performance of sitting on the floor
Large breast muscles (Pectoralis major), while performing with just one hand

Options

Folding according to body position
From upright posture - the most popular, this option has a maximum point of inflection at the end of the amplitude.
From sitting on the bench - this peak flexion occurs in the middle of the amplitude, and at its end point on the drop in load.
From sitting on the floor - the peak flexion in the first third of the amplitude.
From squat with elbows against the knees - the site of peak flexion can be changed according to the height of the elbows and the distance from the reel. Rely on elbow removed the possibility of overcoming the critical point of shoulder rotation and elbow motion.

Collapse of the type of grip, the width of grip and handle
C begins - loaded forearms, slight emphasis on internal heads.
With polupodhvat - power grip, includes greater brachial.
In parallel grip - power grip involves largely brachial.
With a narrow grip - elbows are wider than the wrists, the focus is on foreign chapters.
With shoulder grip - with elbows and wrists in a wide, this is the ideal width for power performances. There is no specific focus, the load is evenly distributed.
With a wide grip - elbows are inside the wrists. Clear focus on internal heads.
With dynamic grip - options are many and various combinations. Specific options will look in the future in separate articles.

According to the sequence of execution
Unilateral series - with just one hand, after which a series with the other. Allows for better focus and power balancing left / right hand.
Bilaterally, simultaneously - the most widely used option. Enables power-performance covers the power imbalance left / right biceps by equating the bending strength to the weaker muscle.
Bilaterally, consistent - allows for long series, promotes the improvement of power endurance. Opportunity to verify the strength and endurance between the left and right biceps.

Method of execution

Biceps folding the bottom of the roll upright position
Preparation and implementation
Select burden, select and handle grip.
