Curls Shoulders
I hear straight bar curls, build the delts a bit, this true?

The delts would be considered a secondary muscle group involved during barbell curls, but I wouldn't select barbell curls as an exercise to purposely target the front delts. There would be more effective exercises for doing that..such as:
D-bell front raises (isolates front head)
Overhead d-bell/barbell presses (hits all 3 heads of your delts)
Bench Presses (front delts get hit pretty thorougly)
When you're curling, you should be working your biceps primarily, not your front delts...if your front delts are taking the brunt of it, you're using too much weight. |

Your delts serve as a stabilizer in that kind of a movement. They stabilize the arm and have the sort of synergist/stablizer role to prevent your arm coming up as in a front raise.
the body functions together. but as Todd brought out, you wouldnt want to use a bicep curl and assume your delts are getting worked as well

If you've given up chest presses or other compound movements in favor of isolation work, you're missing a lot of benefit,.....and sort of missing the point.
Curiously, why give up pressing?

Are these the exercises you do for arms only, or are those the only exercises you do period? |

Nothing for direct shoulder work?
No calf work?
No chest exercises?
Nothing for traps, not even dead lifts for back/traps?
I think you are missing out on a lot of potential development/results. |
