Bodybuilding Tips, How to Get Huge Biceps

The arms are probably one of the most often trained body parts, other than chest, in most gyms today. Guys will work them to death because they want the sleeves of their shirts to fit a little tighter. It gives them a sense of confidence and the females obviously like a guy with huge guns popping out of his shirt.

Today, I will tell you how to exercise your biceps, which is actually two muscles that are connected at your elbow, and run up and under your shoulder muscle.

The most basic exercise is the barbell or EZ-curl bar standing curls. Stand with either a straight bar or EZ-curl bar with your feet shoulder width apart. You need to take an underhand grip about shoulder width apart also. I suggest looking at yourself in a mirror to make sure that your wrists, elbow and shoulders are always in a straight line. This will help you learn proper form.

Start with the bar full extended, and raise the bar up to your chin by curling your arms up, but keeping your elbows still. At the top of the movement, squeeze your biceps to get a strong contraction. Make sure to keep your wrists locked the entire time, because if you let your wrist bend, you can easily hurt yourself. This is the main exercise for building mass in the biceps. I would do this exercise first in my workout, and use heavy weights. Remember to always warm up with a lightweight for one or two sets before going heavy.

If you want to use heavier weights the best exercise you can implement in your routine is alternate standing dumbbell curls. This excercise can be really usefull to shape up your biceps

Only one difference in technique occurs between this method and bar curls. At the motion’s pinnacle, rotate your hand in such a way that your pinky finger is positioned higher than your thumb. Try practicing it with no resistance. This is what will give you that extra peak that all the pros have. Its not easy to do, but, it will tighten your abs so much your friends will envy you.

Good isolation exercise for your guns with an EZ-bar that curls with preacher bench. Since you are only using your biceps, you will find that you don’t have as much strength as you want when you are doing this exercise. Also, if you did the two sets of exercises the proper way, you should be very tired right now.

Dangle your arms across the angled pad, while pressing your chest against the workout bench. Grab the EZ curl bar with an underhand grip. Curl the weight up and contract your biceps as hard as you can. Lower slowly, being careful not to let the bar stress your elbows at the bottom of the movement. A good exercise that will place added stress on your lower biceps area.
