First BB book I bought was at a school book sale. Vince Girondas Unleashing the Wild Physique we took my little brother n sister to like a book fair thing and I snatched it up for a couple of bucks. Has this crazy pic of Mohamed Makkawy on the cover , side pose with a tricep that looked like it was made of iron.

Great stuff from the master himself.

I think they have their place. But doubt they are a real good mass builder. They take the front dealt out but bring the muscles in the rear of the shoulder into play.

I think to a lesser degree, including because most people cheat a little on regular curls imo. Cheating in my experience is less tempting and "natural" with a drag, but good point.

Awesome. I drag out my original small size Iron Man mags here and there.

Yep. Me too. From up high and it's sooo hard. Really helps finish my Biceps off. Hell of a finisher.

Drag curls sweet.
Love doing them.
I will usually lay in the seated row bench and do them.
Either with a wide grip bar
Or small straight bar and take a close grip..
Straight biceps there if you do them right..

Are drag curls generally done with free weights or does anyone use a straight bar on the cable? Which one would be more effective?

If the cable is vertical, the same direction as gravity, they're basically identical.

I like a bar myself.
