Get Bigger Biceps

Standing Barbell Curls (3 Sets of 12
reps)
Grasp a barbell with a palms-up, shoulder-width grip. Without
swaying, swinging or lifting at the shoulders and keeping your
upper arms at your sides, lift the barbell up in a wide arc
from your thighs up to shoulder level. Lower and repeat. Keep
your chest high and your shoulders down and back. It is also
very important that you keep your knees slightly bent in order
to take stress off your lower back.
Preacher Curls (3 Sets of 12
reps)
Place an EZ or straight bar in front of the preacher curl
bench. Sit down with your chest against the bench, grasp the
bar and lower your arms as far down the bench as possible. The
top of the preacher bench must be under your armpits, this will
ensure that the exercise is as strict as possible. Extend your
arms fully and from this position curl the bar up with your
biceps. Focus on contracting the muscle as hard as possible,
when the bar is curled all the way up slowly lower and repeat
for the desired number of reps.
Inclined Dumbbell Curls (3 Sets of 12
reps)
Sit on an inclined bench with dumbbells in each hand and hands
down by your sides. You can do hammer curls (where you keep
your palms facing your body at all times); regular curls (with
palms facing up); or supinating curls (where they start facing
your body, and about halfway through the movement, you turn
your palms facing up). Do 8 to 12 reps.
