Hybrid Training is one of the the most powerful concepts you will ever use for building muscle and strength. https://www.fitstep.com/hybrid-training/hybrid-training.htm Essentially, instead of using just one form of resistance and getting stuck with the strength curve that that resistance provides you with, you use at least TWO forms of resistance so you can better match the specific strength curve and tension pattern of an exercise. In plain English, it means performing an exercise where you NEVER lose tension at ANY point in the range of motion. And THAT is incredibly powerful for building muscle. This Hybrid exercise is the Cable-Barbell Preacher Curl...you'll need a low-pulley for this one (or a band...it also works extremely well with a training band instead of a cable) and a Preacher bench. In a normal Preacher curl, as you come to the top, you lose much of the tension in the biceps because gravity only pulls down...at the top of the movement, the bar is resting on skeletal support from your forearm bones. To keep tension on, you have to consciously squeeze the biceps, which can help, but doesn't really contribute to the movement. When you add in lateral-pulling resistance from the cable, you're not only curling the barbell weight, you're also pulling directly backwards against that cable resistance and adding tension to that top part. You're essentially using the cable to fill in the big gap in tension in the Preacher Curl exercise. And believe me when I tell you, this will FRY your biceps on the very first set. In my experience, you can achieve the same level of fatigue with one set of these as you would with 2 or 3 normal sets because of this continuous tension.
