  1. I have a question,

    I spew at the first sight of lifting biceps curl… Its an excersise ive been using for a year with some good progress, but i hate it. It kills my lust for working out, But recently i tried rowing, and i was wondering. If i put the weight so hard that it was hard to do 8 rows and then hold a close grip, would it be effective biceps training?

  2. if the resistance was great enough to fatigue you after 8 reps then yes
