Arms bending strength equipment

Bending the arms

— exercise for bending the arms in the elbows with weights. In the classic version, the fist holding the weight is placed horizontally with the palm up, and the main load goes to the biceps, but another grip option is also possible — vertical (hammer), aimed mainly at the brachioradialis muscle. Anyway, the exercise refers to isolating (on individual muscles).

Note that Scott benches (see "Additional equipment") are by definition designed for flexion work, primarily with free weights; so in simulators with such equipment, bending of the arms is indicated only if the simulator has its own (usually weight-block) load system for this exercise and allows you to do without "third-party" weights.
