Good Work-Ups For Biceps Development

Filed in: Uncategorized by Emmanuel Mba on 12-03-09

One of the most trained muscles in the body is the biceps; in the gym it is simply the most trained muscle. They are the easiest muscles to show off even under a t-shirt and they immediately give an impression of strength. There are numerous building exercises to select from; it is important not to pick up the wrong ones or doing too much at one time.

The ultimate reason why most guys have arms that do not grow is due to them having the wrong idea about the ways and means to build huge arms. We usually think that more exercises would mean more muscle, but most of these rules do not actually work with arm training. Too much exercises and sets - and arms will no longer be able to recover in between workouts. Building you biceps would only actually require you two exercises:

Close Grip Reverse Chin Up - this is the first of the muscle building exercises in order to arrive at massive biceps. Do not mistake this for a simple pull up with a reverse grip, since it can actually make your arms grow faster than curls. Set a 6-8 inch distance between your hands rather than taking a wide grip. Every time you perform a routine wherein you have to physically move your body through space, your muscles are actually forced to work harder and will thus adapt more quickly. Execute 4 sets of 6-8 reps of reverse chin-ups, pulling yourself as fast as you can and lower yourself a bit slower with a count of about 2 seconds. If you are able to do more than the 6-8 reps recommended then it is time to add some resistance, thus needing one of those belts with a chain around it to fasten plates on. If you are unable to secure one of these, you can try crossing your feet and putting a dumbbell hanging from them, or try a rope, tying a couple of plates around your waist.

Standing Bicep Barbell Curl. This is quite self-explanatory, since all you need to do is secure a straight or cambered curl bar with some weights on the end. The best muscle building exercises are actually the simplest movements using free weights, but then the strict form is the indispensable part of a barbell curl if you wish to have them do something for you. Never use momentum in order to get the weight started up - lower the weights if you need to swing the weights; do not abuse yourself by using heavy ones. Let your biceps experience the pain and not your lower back and shoulders. Execute this for 4 sets at 6-8 reps. Take note always that the form is the ultimate key here since you are looking for maximum biceps stimulation.

Do Something To Increase Your Resistance - Consistently. This may be a relatively simple workout and usually it is the simple ones that work best. Be consistent - stick to your routine for six weeks and you will be surprised to see your biceps growing fast, consistently increasing the weight and trying to do more repetitions. You can keep a workout journal to take note of your progress, pushing yourself a little bit harder every time you workout at a gym.
