Most people aren't going to get big biceps from doing chins.

If you want to look like a bodybuilder, train like one.

This thread has segued exactly into his point: attaching moral virtue to exercise rather than treating them like tools.

Funny how 90% of people I see training like bodybuilders don't look like bodybuilders. Mostly they are using a mop (bicep curls) to try and get shredded (hammering a nail into a wall).

Sure, and people that train like powerlifters but badly also don't get results.

But bodybuilding, with or without drugs, is a mature sport*, as are powerlifting and O lifting. Mature in this sense means "Has existed a long time and has sieved a lot of people through the training process"

IF weighted chins were generally the best way to get biceps, you'd see very few curls in bodybuilding programs.

But bodybuilders do curls. And laterals. And flyes.

And compound exercises too.

Note: I have not done curls in any real way in 25 years, and I do pulldowns and rows a couple times a week.

But if wanted BUFFGUNZZZ I'd bust out direct arm work.

*Well, competitive activity anyway.
