What is an alternative to bicep curls?

Chin-Ups. When it comes to arm size and biceps development, the chin-up is the gold standard. Pulling from above the head actually gives the brachialis muscle (it lies under the bicep) a chance to develop, which is something conventional curls typically can’t provide.

Is a bicep curl eccentric?

A superset is done by alternating between exercises of opposing muscle groups with little to no rest between. For example, performing a triceps movement immediately followed by a biceps movement.

What happens during a bicep curl?

Your biceps muscle contracts both concentrically and eccentrically during the biceps curl. When you curl the weight up, the biceps muscle creates enough force to overcome the external resistance. During this phase of concentric contraction, the muscle fibers shorten, pulling at the elbow joint and lifting your forearm.
