So now when I curl up like that, I struggle turning the wrist. And therefore, I get more of a cut and more of a height in my bicep. So this was something that no one could see because no one counts the plates and says, why is Arnold using on the left side only four plates and then on the right side there's five plates or something? They don't do that, right?
So you can do that in a very, very subtle way. And then eventually I started explaining it. I said, look, I figured this out a long time ago. And I looked at the anatomy book. and even talked about it, that one of the jobs that the bicep says is to turn the wrist. And so I said, well, here we are. I mean, we got to go into load up on the inside and do the turning of the dumbbell.

So there's certain things that you can't do with just having a barbell because you don't turn. So people that are using a barbell and using a bridge or bench can only get a certain size bicep, but never can really get the height. So the height and the peak you only can get if you turn the wrist. With dumbbells. If you use dumbbells, exactly. Wow. That's right.

Those are the little things that you learn. And the key thing is also when eventually when you get into competition that you really figure out your own body because there is no routine that is exactly the same for everybody. You know, this is like buying gloves or buying shoes. There's different sizes, you know, and the different colors and all that stuff.

And the same is with the working out that, you know, you're brought, like, for instance, Franco, he had shorter thighs, right? So therefore he never had to do as much squats as I had to do. I had long legs, so I had to do twice as much leg work than Franco did. So we, even though we trained together, we sometimes split and Franco was working more on calves,

Or working on his kind of like biceps problems that he had that I didn't have. And I had leg problems that he didn't have and stuff like that. So you have to kind of realize that everybody is built differently and everyone has different needs. And this is exactly the same again with everything. You cannot go and have one way of teaching someone a language.

There are some people that are doing much better when you give them pictures and show them what the words are. Sometimes when you have them watch TV. Sometimes when you have conversations. Everyone operates differently. And so this is what you have to realize, that everyone is somewhat different. There are some common rules, but don't get stuck on those.
