The only way jersey sleeves are going to be tight is if you do your part.
“Since I was 14 years old, my full time job was pushing people around on the football field in a tight fitting jersey. Back then, they didn’t tailor the jerseys like in the NFL, so the only way the sleeves were going to be tight is if I did my part and had arms to fill them.” – John Welbourn
Long has the Hammer Curl been a part of John’s training regimen. The foundation was laid in high school training in George Zangas’ garage where hammer curls were used as an accessory for the bench press, and also happened to fill up the sleeves of a budding John Welbourn. When asked about the volume of hammers curled Zangas replied, “strong fuckers train the brachialis. Guys that wear purple speedos train the brachia.”
In this Masters of Movement episode, The Crew takes a moment to coach up the setup, execution, and explore the purpose of the hammer curl, the fastest way to improve the look of your biceps!
