    Gotcha.

    ETA: You forgot walls. Those are important too LOL.

    I'm big on those "open floor plans" :bigsmile:

    Or she's just new to the knowledgeable side of lifting and was curious, and knew she could get a variety of answers to choose from, in one spot, rather than run all over Google to find that same variety. See...not THAT new here :wink:

    I appreciate everyone's input. Yes, they are a vanity thing, for me, at least. I have noticed that the bicep seems to show the fastest and most noticeable results. I like feeling them and knowing they're there. It keeps me going. And I have a shallow side.

    It also keeps me lifting for about five more minutes instead of plopping my *kitten* in front of the television. That's good, right? :)

    Thanks again, everyone!

    Meh, I just do barbell curls (not in the squat rack) and dumbbell hammer curls. I see little need for going all kinds of goofy with curls, given how much the biceps are used in various rows, pull ups, etc. Might just be me.

    I've tried to work some vanity curls into my routine (who doesn't want bigger biceps) but unless I do them as a part of a complex, they're kind of boring.

    I like to superset barbell curls with bench press and hammer curls with DB skullcrushers. Definitely makes them more interesting...and exhausting.

    I like the curls with the bench press - I think I'll try incorporating that into my volume work.
