Biceps Exercises

 

The Primary Biceps Exercises you can do are Standing Barbell Curls, Preacher Curls, Machine Cable Curls and Dumbbell Curls.

 

Standing Barbell Curls

 

Purpose of Standing Barbell curls

  • To Develop Overall Mass

Proper form for Standing Barbell Curls

 

Grab with an underhand grip approximately shoulder width apart, curl the bar upwards with a wide arc keeping your elbows locked at the side of your body. Follow the same arc on the way down flexing on the whole negative part of the rep.


Preacher Curls

 

Purpose of the Preacher Curl

  • To Lengthen the Biceps and Develop the Lower Part of the Biceps

Proper form for Preacher Curls

 

With and Underhand Grip Curl the weight (whether it be dumbbells, ez curl bar or a barbell) upwards until your forearms are perpendicular to the floor and slowly release back to the starting position. Do not let fully extend the elbows near the bottom of the rep as this may lead to injury and will take the pressure off of the biceps and put it on the elbows.
