When does bicep strength actually play a role? Doesn't seem terribly useful in the main lifts. Maybe carrying heavy boxes at waist level?
>>
Who cares

Chinups

yeah i read it wrong, i thought he was climbing a pole or something
>>
>>37609046
Stabilizer muscles in pretty much every movement also they look good
>>
Aesthetics mainly. I would agree things are pushed or pressed more naturally in this world by a man before they are pulled. But, if you have over developement in triceps and need bicep improvement like I do right now the arm doesn't look right. overload the bicep and get a bigger head..because i said so.

>>37609046
I work in a factory picking up boxes from an assembly line and putting them onto pallets. Biceps are actually reasonably useful for this.

Besides that one thing, I'm rather curious myself.
>>
>>37609046
So you don't get fucked elbows and shoulders from the practical lifts.

The sad part about this is that even in this highly unlikely scenario, he would still only have trained to pick it up and place it right back in the path of the train.
>>
Lots of movements where you grasp things and pull them towards you, or pull yourself towards them. Grappling martial arts are probably the biggest one. Climbing uses them a bit.

They don't do much for any of the big primary lifts; not enough for curls to really be thought of as an accessory for any of them.

No.

Biceps play a main role when you move weights from one place to another using both arms. Because you need to keep them above your waist level to be able to walk freely.

for curling helicopters

wouldn't that be equal parts legs as well, though?
>>
When you do manual labor, you never know what awkward position you're going to be in. Imagine you're stretched out laying down reaching for something and pulling it back towards you. Biceps are going to be very useful then.

>>37612397
The way that the line is positioned relative to the pallets and the speed at which the line moves makes using your legs really difficult. When the line slows down, I deadlift the boxes, but when it speeds up the only leg involvement is just pivoting on the balls of my feet to turn between the pallet and the line because it's that much faster and missing one box can potentially start a chain reaction that causes you to miss more and more until the machine is jammed.

It SHOULD be legs, but contrary to everything the company constantly yells at us, speed>safety.

Barbell rows

Never gonna save that train full of orphans, nuns, and babies.

Seriously, give them a try sometime. It's the only thing that the trap bar is good for anyway.
