When does bicep strength actually play a role? Doesn't seem terribly useful in the main lifts...

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.

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.

So you don't get fucked elbows and shoulders from the practical lifts.

Lmao these are hilarious. Post more please!

youre retarded, hes gonna curl it over his head

>not doing chin-ups as part of your main moves
>making it
Sure brah.

...

it helps in pullups,chinups,deadlifts,rows,cleans and many other lifts.it also helps you pick up girls.

powerlifters, weightlifters, strongmen, and bodybuilders all curl

even unfucks chronic elbow pain. I'm shit at them, should be curling more often.

how much can you curl without moving your elbows?

I've done 60kg x 2 up against a wall, but I can't say it was for anything except just fucking about

your curls are shit indeed,but at least you try.
now take that useless trip off.

I am a mechanic for large things, it helps.

yeah seriously, fucking summer is definitely here now

90% back 10% biceps

Fucking kek

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.

>tfw were liftin without warming up last night
>hurts to move triceps

kek

picking up female teenagers.

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.

>he doesn't do rotational deadlifts

>not deliberately trying to get scoliosis

never going to make it

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
Pullups
Carrying women

wew lad

>not doing deadlift carries

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.

Smashing hoes standing up while you hold them

I know those feels
>why did you shut off the line to repair a safety guard user?! We lost one hour of production!!!
>why didn't you shut off the line to repair a safety guard user! You could have lost your hand!!!

I hate my job.
