Bicep Curls - Incline DB Tri-set

In 2000 (and on a few other occasions) I published and claimed copyright on this exercise description (bolding added now):

Incline DB Bicep Curl Tri-set :

The aim of these tri-set is to do all three exercises with minimal rest between (i.e. no more than 10-15 seconds). On the incline bench, keep the elbows still and behind the body. The first set is down with a hammer grip, which is palm inwards. The second is with a palm up grip, and the third is with the same grip but as you raise towards the top allow the elbows to drift outwards, reversing this in the lowering. Only do warm-up set if you feel you need to, and note the potential for using lighter DB’s in each subsequent exercise in the tri-set (as they go from strong to weak positions, and as fatigue sets in).

I was conducting research and I came upon the following exercise in a publication copyright claimed by another 'author' at a subsequent date (bolding added):

And I said to myself: “That looks familiar!” So I cross-referenced it and I said to myself: “Wow! No wonder that looked familiar!”

I noted that the use of this description was in the absence of credits or references to the origin or permission to use from the original author (myself), and that the 'author' claimed copyright....
