1he w|sdomof craft|ng your body musc|e by musc|e w|th
|so|at|on moves - such as the equa||y |oved and der|ded b|ceps
cur| - has been debated for a|most as |ong as gyms have
ex|sted. But what's the f|na| word7 We||, accord|ng to LMC tests
conducted by tra|ners Bret Contreras and Brad 5choenfe|d,
|so|at|on exerc|ses can he|p. |f you want to grow. 1he|r study,
pub||shed |n the 1ournct Dj 5trength And Conditioning Resecrch,
found that s|mp|y concentrat|ng on a |agg|ng musc|e can force
|t |nto growth, and |so|at|on moves are the best way to focus
your attent|on. 1he mora| of th|s story7 |f your b|ceps aren't
as b|g as you'd ||ke, throw|n some cur|s - but compound
moves are st||| best for strength and overa|| growth.
