My assumption is that most people dont do them because with a barbell you get a wider range of movement

ill do hammers with a rope sometimes, but not too often.

I do them all the time and they work great. Used to use a barbell but kept hurting my wrists or elbows.

Yes, I like cables and when I do that I do the whole stack plus 2 mini plates and I am no female! I also do them on the incline, single arm, rope hammers. Hell, I see many who use the free weight bar doing them and they are bobbing and weaving with arms going forward and body all over the place heaving up too much poundages.(I am not talking about cheating princible but bad form) Maybe these type may benefit from cable curls!

Its a staple for me, I always finish off a bi routine with these. Do them until failure with lighter weight, and good form. The pumps I get from these are phenomenal.

It seems like there's always some skinny fukker doing 50 lb. cable curls when I need to use the pulleys. Pisses me off.

what's great with these, is you can lift with a weight that isn't embarassing to be lifting.. when you max out..
lower the pin with no rest, and do as many as you can..
then lower the weight... keep going till you can't hardly do the 25 lbs for 4..The answer to your every question

I do that for a set of 12 as fast as i can get done with them only seated wrist are getting much better and since about the same weight intensity Db for the moment i dont see a problem with it.
3 sets on Dbs and i have way more to give than im getting. Ill be doing these for a while longer see how it plays out.

I do one set of 15-20 for a warmup before barbell curls. Other than that, I think they are crap.

I use the cables SOMETIMES for one arm curls, because I can get that good twist for the peaks, but not as a main exercise. And for me, the cable barbells arent worth the time, when you have the freeweight barbell curls that are 200% better IMO. If you can get past the ego part, youll gain better in the long run. On the cables I can load it with the pin at the bottom, or go to the rack and throw on a quarter on each side. THe ladder isnt as impressive in the gym but in the long run it'll cause better gains. And thats not to say that Cable barbell curls dont help some people, but for me and anyone ive trained with, thats for the birds.

yes i do them sometimes if im bored. Not a thing im going to include in my workout. But its fun to do here and there just for some change in the workout. But I do them single handed. First i kneel down with one knee on the ground, then i stabalize my elbow on my other knee, and then do them like 3 seconds down and 2 seconds up.

I do them. I like them. That is usually my first set on arm day, then I go to hammer curls.

i like 'em for warmups especially because there's still tension at the top of the movement.

I like them as well, mainly for the reasons stated above.
