    Barbell cheat curl

    I can't get my bi's to grow doing strict curls and most of the bodybuilders in my gym never do them...they amost always use a little swing to get the weight up... I personally have seen phenomenal growth when doing them...what are your thoughts on cheat curls?

    Cheating on heavy basic movements have always worked for me. There's a time and place for precision and a time and place for just moving weight.

    great! the eccentric contraction actually damages more fiber so by cheating it up and letting it down you actually encourage more growth.
