I addressed the question about how to get bigger biceps in my last article. Here are a few to make those arms bulge!
Standing Dumbbell Hammer Curls:
This next exercise is a body builder's dream come true; it works out your biceps and forearms at the same time.
With feet a shoulder's width apart, grab your dumbbells, letting them hang at arm's length. Keep your elbow's tucked in close to your sides and your palms facing each other throughout this exercise. Curl the dumbbells up to shoulder level using biceps and forearms only. Hold for a moment to gain the maximum effect of muscle tension, then slowly return dumbbells and repeat.
You will need an incline bench for this next exercise. Keep this one in mind for your next trip to the gym if you don't have the bench at home. This one uses less weight as this exercise isolates the muscles so you don't have to lift as much!
Inclining Dumbbell Curls:
Get your dumbbells and sit back on an incline bench. Your feet should be shoulder's width apart. Go ahead and let the dumbbells hang at arm's length, behind your body, on each side of the bench. Curl the dumbbells to shoulder level, using your biceps only, and hold them for a moment. Slowly return to starting position. Only your forearms should have moved during this exercise.
That's it! Keep checking back for more exercise, general fitness and health articles. There are more bicep exercises to come, too. See you next time you're in the gym!
