Bicep Exercises For Beginners (and everyone else too!) Part 2

In my last article, I began to address one of the most common questions I am asked; namely, how to get bigger biceps. Now, there are a lot of bicep exercises out there, so in the interests of helping all of you to get those bulging biceps you?ve always wanted, I present to you (what else?) ? more bicep exercises.

Standing Dumbbell Hammer Curls:

This exercise works out your biceps and forearms at the same time, a multitasking bodybuilders dream come true!

Stand with your feet shoulders width apart and grab a pair of dumbbells. Let them hang at arms length, elbows kept close to your torso (as you should during the entire exercise). Your palms should be facing each other. Curl the barbells up to shoulder level using only your biceps and forearms, keep your palms facing each other throughout the exercise. When you reach shoulder level, hold the dumbbells there for a moment to get the maximum benefit of the muscle tension. Slowly return the dumbbells to your sides and repeat.

This next exercise will require some equipment (an incline bench). If you don?t have one of these, keep this exercise in mind for your next trip to the gym. It?s also a good workout for biceps and forearms alike, so give this one a try if you haven?t before! You?ll need to use less weight for this one than for curls ? it isolates the muscles, so you don?t have to lift quite as much to get the same benefit.

Inclining Dumbbell Curls:

Get your dumbbells and sit back on an incline bench. Your feet should be shoulder's width apart. Go ahead and let the dumbbells hang at arm's length, behind your body, on each side of the bench. Curl the dumbbells to shoulder level, using your biceps only, and hold them for a moment. Slowly return to starting position. Only your forearms should have moved during this exercise.

That's it! Keep checking back for more exercise, general fitness and health articles. There are more bicep exercises to come, too. See you next time you're in the gym!
