[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that say “lift heavy,” what would a heavy bicep workout weight be.[/quote]

[b]A bicep-specific exercise is not really part of “lifting heavy.” “Lifting heavy” means compound, multi-muscle movements.

I do chins and pulls; once in a while I throw in biceps curls for variety. I can curl 25 lbs and that’s about it. [/quote]

Says who? You? That's a dumb take and totally untrue.[/quote]

Me and Olympic and powerlifters, but you do you. That's what makes the world go around. [/quote]

So in the world of powerlifters, the term "heavy lifting" means...whatever you said. Fine. That doesn't mean that you can't do "heavy" isolation movements...and call them "heavy lifts" or whatever. [/quote]

It is not even true in the powerlifting world. Many power lifters now incorporate isolations too as the industry understood you can increase your strength on the big 3 by incorporating accessory movements, including isolations, as needed. They can be also helpful for preventing imbalances and injuries. [/quote]
