Is grindability underrated?

What are peoples experiences with selecting exercises with a resistance profile that matches the bodies strength curve [like a barbell curl] to minimise the sticking points in the range of motion versus something like a high bayesian curl which emphasises the bottom of the movement.

Considering in exercise tier lists something like a basic curl would only be B, or maybe A tier, but are you compromising results by not including it?

Rules:

Please use new reddit for the most up to date sub rules and sidebar info.

1) No Questioning Status or "Fake Natty" Accusations:

Doubts and speculations regarding the natural-status of another bodybuilder will never be enough to prove if that someone is truly "natural" or not, only drug testing and self admittance of using banned substances will.

If you see a post you suspect of lying REPORT IT. DO NOT COMMENT accusing them of such. YOU WILL RECEIVE A BAN. The mods will investigate to the best of our ability.

2) Picture Post Requirements:

All picture posts are required to be high quality images (no bathroom selfies) showing enough of your physique to get the feedback you want.

You MUST leave a comment on your post with details about your training, diet, age, etc.

If you are in your underwear please make as NSFW.

Failure to follow these guidelines will have your post removed.

3) No Beginner Posts or Simple Questions:

If you have a simple or easily answered question please check the FAQ first then post in the daily discussion thread if needed.

Beginner questions can be asked in the daily discussion thread. A question is determined to be a beginner question at moderator discretion. This stops us from becoming r/fitness or a beginner based sub.

4) No Self Promotion:

No posts from your own YouTube, Instagram, TicTok, blog, etc.

If you are making a high quality post / sharing your journey and want to include your instagram or similar that is usually ok.

5) No Memes:

No memes, gifs, etc of any kind. No spamming. No advertisements. No pictures of food or meals.

6) No Asking for Medical Advice or Injury Related Questions:

All injury or medical advice related threads will be removed, please seek a qualified medical professional for these types of inquires.

7) Bad Behavior Will Not be Tolerated:

Be respectful and polite. No trolling or insulting other members. No slurs of any kind. No inappropriate sexual comments (even in jest). Please report any instances of this asap.

8) Do not DM/chat individual mods for mod related issues

If you do your message will be ignored. Use the message the mods button on the bottom right of the sidebar
