Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The Concentration Curl is considered one of the worst bicep exercises due to its common misperformance.
2. The position of the elbow is crucial in the Concentration Curl, and resting the arm on the thigh or driving the elbow into the thigh can minimize the effectiveness of the exercise.
3. The Reverse Curl is not a good bicep exercise because it requires a pronated grip, which minimizes the contribution of the biceps.
4. The Biceps Pushup is not a bicep exercise and should not be considered as such.
5. The Inverted Chin Curl is a good bodyweight exercise for the biceps, as it checks all the boxes in terms of bicep function.
6. The Cable Curl is a good exercise for those with elbow issues or elbow tendinitis, as it relieves tension in the beginning of the exercise.
7. The Zottman Curl is half good, but not good enough, because it takes away the opportunity to handle more weight or slow down the eccentric on the muscle being worked.
8. The Preacher Curl has limitations, such as the potential for false sense of security and the risk of injury if not performed correctly.
9. The Spider Curl is a better option than the Preacher Curl, as it allows for more freedom of movement and can be performed more safely.
10. The Dumbbell Waiter Curl is an effective exercise for building bicep peaks and long head development.
11. The Inclined Dumbbell Curl is a good exercise for targeting the long head of the biceps.
12. The Chinup is an effective exercise for building biceps, particularly when performed with the elbows at a 90-degree angle.
13. The Barbell Curl is a good exercise, but has limitations, such as the fixed bar and the need for core strength.
14. The Alternating Standing Dumbbell Curl is considered the best exercise for building biceps, as it allows for individualization and versatility.
