Exercise Tips One Curl to Rule Them All You can be excused if you’ve never heard of the Bayesian curl. There is no land of Bayesia, nor is there a weightlifter from the 1960s named Yurik Bayesian who coined the move. The origins of the name are hidden in the mists of time, and seeing the exercise being performed in person is more rare than a Sasquatch sighting. Look, if you’re training biceps, you might as well get some kind of benefit from it. Mindless dumbbell curls with no plan will lead to no results. You can continue to stick to partial reps with endless 21s and swinging cheat curls, or you can discover the growth potential of the maximal stretch response the Bayesian curl can provide. It might look simple on the surface, but there’s plenty of muscle-building potential under the hood here. The good thing is that the only things you need to unlock these gains are a cable machine and an open mind.

Mamdouh Elssbiay, known to most of the world as “Big Ramy,” has officially opted out of the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest. Ramy, who won the Mr. O in 2020 and 2021, cited injuries as the main reason for skipping the event. This news comes after his 2022 campaign, where he slid to fifth place. While Hadi Choopan took home the win, Ramy’s tumble was one of the major post-show talking points. The absence of one of the favorites for the Sandow trophy means the contest, set to take place beginning November 2 in Orlando, will be more wide open than ever.
