The Best Bicep Exercises

Building monsterous biceps with the best bicep exercises

The most defining muscle of a person deemed to be buff is the biceps. Building bulging bicep muscles is one of the most sought after goals amongst men of all ages. The bicep muscles are also the defining muscle of the beach muscle enthusiasts. In this article, you will discover all of the most popular bicep exercises.

Dumbbell Curls
The single most recognizable bicep exercise is the dumbbell curl. It's simple, straight forward, and easy to form.
Barbell Curls
As with dumbbell curls, a barbell curl is performed exactly the same way, except while holding a single bar.

Concentration Curls
A concentration curl is performed while sitting down with a dumbbell in one arm at a time. The arm that holds the dumbbell is the arm that should rest on the inner thigh of the leg on the same side. It's all about curling a dumbbell in a concentrated manner without any excessive movement from other body parts.
Hammer Curls
A hammer curl can be performed with a hammer curl bar, or with dumbbells. The thing that sets aside a hammer curl from a regular dumbbell curl is the angle that the wrist is held. Most hammer curls are performed with dumbbells. You hold the dumbbell the same way a hammer is held, except you're curling the dumbbell.
Reverse Curls
A reverse curl is performed with a straight bar or a curl bar, except with an overhand grip instead of the conventional underhand grip.
Cable Curls
There are many different ways to perform a cable curl. The most popular cable curl is performed with a cable at each side of your body, and curled in a fashion that makes you appear as though you are flexing your biceps in the conventional muscle-man sense.

As you can see, there are many bicep exercises that can help you build big bicep muscles. But for all practical purposes, it's not necessary to perform all of these exercises each time you workout your biceps. It only takes no more than 3 of these exercises at a time, with a few sets a piece.
