Besides the chest muscles, the arms might be one of the most popular parts of the body trained at today's gyms. Most guys will work them to death because they want the sleeves of their shirts to fit a little tighter. Gives them a sense of confidence and the females obviously like a guy with huge guns popping out of his shirt.
The bicep runs up and down your shoulder muscle and it's the muscle that is attached to the elbow, this muscle we will be working out today.
A barbell curl is the most basic exercise to be done. When using an EZ-curl bar or straight bar ensure that you begin with your feet spread shoulder-width apart. You need to take an underhand grip about shoulder width apart also. Use a mirror to make sure that your body, including the wrists, elbows and shoulders, are in alignment.
Start with the bar full extended, and raise the bar up to your chin by curling your arms up, but keeping your elbows still. At the top of the movement, squeeze your biceps to get a strong contraction. Make sure to keep your wrists locked the entire time, because if you let your wrist bend, you can easily hurt yourself. This is the main exercise for building mass in the biceps. I would do this exercise first in my workout, and use heavy weights. Remember to always warm up with a lightweight for one or two sets before going heavy.
I recommend doing Alternate Standing Dumbbell Curls second because you can still use heavy weight. This exercise will really add to the rounded shape that you want in your biceps.
The same motion is used as in bar curls but one slight variation. At the top of the movement twist your hand so that your pinky moves up a little higher than your thumb. Try practicing it with no resistance. This is what will give you that extra peak that all the pros have. Its hard to do, but it will add that extra edge to your guns that your friends don't have.
Good isolation exercise for your guns with an EZ-bar that curls with preacher bench. Since you are only using your biceps, you will find that you don't have as much strength as you want when you are doing this exercise. Also, if you did the two sets of exercises the proper way, you should be very tired right now.
Position yourself with your chest against the bench and drape your arms over the angled pad. Grab the EZ curl bar with an underhand grip. Curl the weight up and contract your biceps as hard as you can. Lower slowly, being careful not to let the bar stress your elbows at the bottom of the movement. This exercise will place added stress on your lower biceps area.
