Posted under Arm Workouts, Biceps Workouts by Mike on Wednesday 23 September 2009 at 11:44 am

Today I decided to give you some good bicep workouts which will help you get bigger arm muscles. There are tons of bicep exercises and workouts, but not all can give you same progress and results after performing them. That is why, you should try some of the ones I will give you right now, which I know that are not too complicated to do, and bicep will grow the best after doing them.

Many bodybuilders make that mistake to perform to complicated and advanced exercises which leads to slower progress and not happy results. If you are a beginner then you need to follow a beginner workout program, and you need to avoid advanced exercises which you do not know how to perform well. Most of the hardest exercises will not give you what you want, as when performing them you will not concentrate on the specific muscles, you will include others. So knowing the exercise and knowing how to perform it is really important if you want to build up muscles.

Now let me show you some good bicep workouts that you can start working on today. For better results, I suggest you change workouts each week. You can mix the exercises as well. You also need to know that bicep is the hardest muscle to build up, you need a lot of concentration and regular training with a idea nutriton.

  1. Biceps Curl - Use the bar and grab it under. With elbows to side, raise bar until forearms are vertical. Lower until arms are fully extended. Repeat.
  2. Dumbbell Curl - Use dumbbells. With elbows to sides, raise one dumbbell and rotate forearm until forearm is vertical and palm faces shoulder. Lower to original position and repeat with opposite arm. Continue to alternate between sides.
  3. Dumbbell Concentration Curl - Raise dumbbell to front of shoulder. Lower dumbbell until arm is fully extended. Repeat. Continue with opposite arm.
  4. Barbell Preacher Curl - Raise bar until forearms are vertical. Lower barbell until arms are fully extended. Repeat.
  5. Cable Prone Incline Curl or Barbell - Raise bar until arms are flexed. Lower barbell until arms are fully extended. Repeat.
