Hi just wondering do inverted curls work your biceps?

I'm doing these on Parallel bars and i'm not sure if it's working my back or bis?

Thanks

Dude, just think for a bit. An inverted curl is almost pure elbow flexion. That's going to work the hell out of the elbow flexors, including biceps.

Maybe i need to work on my form then because after a 3x5 set i didn't feel any bi soreness at all

Are you sure that you are doing inverted curls instead of inverted chin-ups?

aquapura1

Yes but i couldn't balance on the rings so i did them on the PBs...

Sometimes you might not feel soreness, but the muscles still get worked and fatigued. I think soreness in the muscles are felt when you do higher/medium rep ranges like for mass building or when you try a new exercise.

ok Sweet just thought i'd check i'm use to doing bi curls and i'm always sore after those. I haven't done any bi work in 5 months so i expected to be sore that's why. All good thanks for the responses.
