How To Get Huge Biceps With The Best Bodybuilding Workouts

By Ricardo d Argence

In the gym, the arms are more worked out, then the chest or other parts of the body. Since guys want the sleeves of their shirts to fit a little tighter, they will work them to death. It feeds them a sensation of assurance and the females apparently like a guy with large guns coming 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.

A barbell curl is the most basic exercise to be done. When using an EZ-curl bar or straight bar ensure that you begin with your feet spread shoulder-width apart. You need to take an underhand grip about shoulder width apart also. Use a mirror to make sure that your body, including the wrists, elbows and shoulders, are in alignment.

A great was to start is with the bar full extended then raise the bar up to your chin by curling your arms up but keep your elbows still. To reach maximum contraction, flex your biceps at the peak of the movement. You must keep your wrist locked all the time otherwise if you let your wrist bend, this can easily hurt you. This is the main exercise for building mass in the biceps. Put this exercise at the beginning of your routine, using heavy weights. Its best to always warm up with a lightweight for one or two sets before going heavy.

I recommend doing Alternate Standing Dumbbell Curls second because you can still use heavy weight. This exercise will really add to the rounded shape that you want in your biceps.

The same motion is used as in bar curls but one slight variation. At the top of the movement twist your hand so that your pinky moves up a little 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 hard to do, but it will add that extra edge to your guns that your friends don't have.

Preacher Bench Curls With An EZ-bar is a good isolation exercise for your guns. Because you are isolating your biceps, you will notice you aren't as strong as you would like to be in this exercise. Plus if you have done the first two exercises with the correct intensity, then you should be pretty exhausted by now.

Place your chest against the bench and let your arms hang over the angled cushion. 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. This is a great exercise that will place added stress on your lower biceps area.

This program is only a portion of a fitness plan, you can see on my website for more information. - 17269
