Something to try on arm day

[signal_24]

Heres something to try in the gym on your arm day. Yesterday I got to thinking about how when you do a curl with free weights there is very little tension at the top. So I thought about it a second and then walked into the aerobics room. I grabbed one of those bands they had hanging up on the wall. I then placed the bands around my wrist. These bands have the handles on them. I then stepped on it it with both feet and tried to curl with an EZ curl bar. I stopped because I had too much tension. I then stepped on the band with one foot in the middle and curled with the ez curl bar. Holy mother of God!!!! Thats it! I did 3 sets of those and my arms were smoked. Today I am sore as hell when I try to extend my arms. The band allowed me to add that peak contraction where the EZ curl bar lets off tension at the top.

I would like to hear any feedback on your thoughts and opinions.

It's called "Accomodating Resistence." The Westside boys have been talking about it for years!!!!

I've familiar with bands and chains in the power lifting world. I have never heard much of its application to bodybuilding. Do you think its something that is bound to catch on in bodybuilding?
