Is the Stretch actually the main driver of muscle growth?

>>76517746 (OP)
Effort and weight (actual weight not leveraged or cheated weight) mogs stretch.

But stretch is very legit.
High effort high progression preacher/incline curl > high effort high progression seated barbell curl

Yes, you can efficiently more muscle using the stretch with 5 RIR rather than trying to train to failure

Stretch isn't the only variable. People tend to cheat curling if their body isn't pressed against something.

this "weighted stretch" variant or preacher doesn't prevent front delt from flexing and pinching long head biceps shoulder tendon
>and how did u fix it this time hooman?
well i tried hugging basketball with me forearm to chest - it kinda works but there's too much rhomboids involvement
>then what?
just sat sideways on bench with uno dumbbell and leaned one elbow of hand with dumbbell - this relaxed front delt and back at the same time
>so it's more of isometric hold with roughly 90 degs in elbow for biceps and brachialis i guess? doing long head like nothing else would ?
yes, supinate and then flex biceps
>what?
well if u can u can enhance the perfectest motion/resistance via conscious muscle flexing and u should be able to flex biceps at will

No. It's near failure in the 6-15 rep range for a reasonable volume with a reasonable frequency.
Next question.

what do u do about delt pinching biceps ?
>>76517895
always found regular curls doing fuckall for muscle hypertrophy, it always felt crunchy and awkward no matter the variant, until noe:

i don't understand the question?

>i don't understand the question?
yes delt pinching biceps long head shoulder tendon
it's not a question bot, it's fact of nature, anatomy, reality
your biceps will be pinched at long head shoulder biceps tendon around area of biceps pulley because u don't have stabilized elbow so delt is preventing shoulder extension as u bend elbow in ur retardo curls
that is until u:

Just look at people who only stretch. For example, contortionists at the circus or yoga people who really onyl do yoga. They aren't very muscular. So the answer is no.

true, and regular curls just don't "do" biceps :D >>76517979

has there ever been a more persistent retard on this site?
