A lot of Vince people say that he was often crude, insensitive and stubborn. However, regardless of all this, he knew his area - bodybuilding!

Gironde has set a basis for a lot of what’s today represents the essential part of the “Iron sport.” He is also the inventor of quite number of “wild”, but perfectly effective exercise, that are mostly turn into oblivion.

Luckily Christian Thibaudeau is a big fan of Gironda and really knows their number, and among them are “Gironda perfect curle” for the biceps.

By Christian opinion this would be exercise that could be declared for the best biceps exercise - no exaggeration!
“Makes the maximum tension biceps in all points of the movement of this exercise, which undoubtedly gives excellent results” - says enthusiastically Thibaudeau.

Performance:

1. Start your exercise as a standard folding barbell. (You can use the flat and E-Z bar).
2. Before weight curl, the top of the torso is tilted backward, while sling focus on your heels. Torso shall be sufficient
3. convoluted, so that your shoulders are located behind your hips, while the knees remain in the initial position.
4. In this position, start slowly bend weight. Lifting weight and at the same time lowers torso forward, until in the final position, the shoulders are not in front of hips and knees.
5. Lower your weights in the starting position, but with opposite movement.

This change creates a great angle stress on the biceps during the whole performance of this exercise.
Keep in mind that this is not cheating curl! You do not get great weights on rapid movements and momentum, but all what you are doing is slowly and concentrated. Lift weight in 2-3 seconds, then strongly hold biceps at 1-2 seconds and lower weights about 3-4 seconds. Use a relatively small weight, since this version is quite heavier than a standard curl.
For inflammation that will surely follow, the main culprit is- Vince, of course!
