Try incline dumbbell curls, with a full stretch. (Do not go heavy on these.) Also, what @CaptainAwesome said.

Yeah, I don't envy anybody that gets sore like this in multiple areas and regularly, I hope there's some tricep growth from all this :D

I think the loading at a stretched position really contributes. I've been doing cable hip abduction from a maximally stretched position, influenced by an SBS article, and the DOMS is ridiculous.

Hadn’t heard of him. Video titles at his youtube have the clickbaity-est titles ever, but that was really entertaining. I’ll probably end up watching half of them between sets tomorrow. :roll:

I agree, I avoided watching any of his stuff for quite a while because of the titles title shots, but I have found him to be actually entertaining and conveying useful information. I don't always agree totally with him, but if we agreed on everything then only one of us would be necessary.
