Build Bigger Biceps Today!
We
receive several inquiries everyday from clients who are in search
for bigger biceps. For anyone looking to build impressive
guns, this article is for you!
The best way to get bigger biceps is to completely overload
the muscle from different angles and exercises. This way the muscle
is always stimulated and "confused" which is exactly what
you want. A great way to add a different angle to your biceps exercises
is to use "supinating" curls to any of your dumbbell workouts.
Supinating curls is when you turn your palms up about halfway through
the movement, so that you complete the curl with your palms facing
upward. Also remember to take every set to positive failure.
Another great way to stimulate growth and get bigger biceps
is through "periodization" training. "Periodization"
training routines completely shocks the muscle! Focus on different
rep ranges on each workout. Switch from high reps (12-20) for the
first workout. Then to medium range (8-12) for the second and finally
the power reps of (3-8) for the last workout. The major factor in
gaining quality muscle is intensity and switching up your training
exercises, rep ranges and sets to shock the body into growth. Below
is a training routine to start building bigger biceps today!
Big Biceps Training Routine:
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.
