I work out at home, i'm not sure how long this can last cause i'm runnin out of weight but i was wondering what can i do insted of Narrow-Grip Pulldown... cause i dont have the thing to use ... another thing that i was wondering is that when i'm doin Barbell Curl i use Olampic Barbell or EZ or whatever you call it, i was wondering is it better to use this or a normal barbell... there is this other work out that you would site on this thingy and put your bicepts on it and do the barbell curl you know what i'm talkin about? i dont know the name but i dont have access to that eaither.. so what is a real good work out for my back and bicepts that i can do at home without any matchine... Thanks Alot For ALL the answers fellas Peace us Cheers SeanyBoy

In addition to the standard barbell row, I often brace one end of the bar against a machine and load the other with weights. This allows me to do one arm barbell rows with great form. These should hit the areas very well. For curls, next time you lift, watch your muscle work while using the different bars/grips. The barbell curl is the most comprehensive curling movement. Many shy away from this because of wrist pain. I have not had this problem. In short, I use all three (barbell, EZ close grip, and EZ wide grip) to work the bicep. This minor variations in the grip give a full work out to the biceps.
