Ideally…a “bodydrag” curl is a barbell curl with an underhand grip…wider than shoulder with. Keep shoulders and elbows back. The bar should literally slide (drag) up and down the front of the body. When I trained with Vince, I never came up to the neck…I stopped about nipple high…paused and squeezed biceps and than slowly returned bar a hair from very bottom. Always keeping tension on muscle. Vince liked my technique and later preferred it…he showed that he had an open mind.
Sorry Vince, but narrow grip focuses more on the outer/long head of biceps than the inner/short head.
@davidbrucemusicvideo I was thinking the same thing…but Vince is the inventor of the drag curl so I guess he should know…
Anyone else notice the sexual subtext in Vincents approach to coaching this young lass?
Vince was a loveabe old jackass. The only thing free with his gym membership were the insults.
“PULL IT INTO YOUR NECK! SLOW DOWN!!” lol
vince ‘the iron guru’ gironda was the worlds greatest trainer
@davidbrucemusicvideo Vince gironda the guy in the video invented the body drag curl so i think he knows what he’s talking about
@davidbrucemusicvideo its a drag because you are dragging your elbows backwards as you bring up the weight
I guess “drag” comes from dragging the bar close to the body as he often tells the girl to do.
Look more closely and see why it’s not a normal curl
who posted this as a drag curl. I don’t see how its a drag. Its just a curl, right? Am I wrong?

You’d be lucky if you can find any videos by Gironda. If you can find any copies of his book, “The Wild Physique”, you’d be lucky. His workouts are demanding. He was the man Hollywood producers would send their actors to in order to get in shape in short spans of time- like two weeks! He was the man responsible for Arnold trimming down and getting definition. Vince promoted definition and symmetry before it was in style!
jtcruzzin…..you are correct..but Vince was being easy on her because you could tell she didn’t completely understand what Vince was trying to teach her. He was being gentle even though he sounded harsh.
This MAN is THE MAN PERIOD!!!! I wish I had the honor of being taught by one of the greatest trainers ever, maybe even THE greatest. Thank you Vince for all you have given to the sport and everyone you have helped over the years. Rest in Peace!
this guy is hilarious
Man, Vince is all over that. Tough & demanding. I hear he was one ornery ol’ cuss. If he didnt like you he would let you know. Perfectionist when it comes to form. If there are any more instructional videos of him doing his favorite exercises please post. He had some controversial views on exercise.
Anyone knows where I can find those instructional videos with Vince Gironda, or at least how they’re called?
i agree with Vince, getting up in the morning its hard if you know what i mean XD wood mornings i get that alot.. .. . but yeah vince +1 . u still best trainer and great techniques. rip vince.
He harkens back to a time when men where allowed to men. Now, men have been pussified by all these complainers, hr departments, and wimps. He was the man!
lol that’s how they say that he is and especially was when he was younger
This is NOT a drag curl.
bitch…now get in the kitchen
UNFORGIVABLE BITCH. NOW MAKE ME A SANDWICH. lol that’s who Vince reminds me of
This,and the lateral ‘swing’ shoulder exercise,are two of Vince’s patented exercises which i just don’t like.
