Jared Garza

Jared Garza is a predominant arm curler of the 21st century and has compiled a plethora of arm curl excercises to share with his peers.

Considering that a Google search of '"Jared Garza" curl' or curls only brings up this page I think this we need a source for this; It's apparently not a well known and easily verifiable fact. User:Sm18 16:48, 26 May 2006

• I would assume that the Jared Garza statement is not true. There are many styles of grips to use to target different areas of the bicep, and there are many objects to curl, many angles at which to curl, but ultimately, only one way to perform a bicep curl. You can't state that Jared Garza, for example, invented the bicep curl with a curved steel pipe with each forearm being 110 degrees away from the chest. Carlmckie 23:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Where are the sources for this 495lb 425lb barbell curl? --AF1987 22:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Vociferating

"Vociferating in concurrence with this exercise, as well as any other exercise, increases both muscle endurance and development. Both the increase in endurance and muscle development arise from the increased release of adrenaline and testosterone that occurs from extremely loud yelling or grunting while performing anaerobic exercises. [1]"

Googling around I was able to find no basis for this rather interesting physiological claim - in fact, a google of "Vociferating testosterone" brought this Wikipedia article up as the number one hit, which heavily implies a violation of WP:OR to me. A youtube video of Exercise With Arnold does not, I think, rise to the level of WP:Reliable Source for such a claim. User:71.145.157.163 06:52, 27 July 2007

• It also helps if you do curls in the squat rack as well... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.248.196.12 (talk) 15:05, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect form in the example image

I think it should be noted that the curling form of the man is incorrect. The elbows should only come forward very slightly, and the bar should not be higher than the shoulders during the pause.124.187.195.248 (talk) 22:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Biceps and Ordu

Biceps are know to the ordu people as a work of the mountain divel. They reason is because biceps get larger as more work is done with the arm. It is a sign of curse because it lets people around know that one has been cursed by a lifetime or excess work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.164.17 (talk) 03:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
