Biceps Workout Routine That Works
Here it is, a biceps workout routine that will get you results in record time. If you have arms that lack shape and size, you are going to need this information. Keep in mind that this biceps program works if you are consistent with training and eating a clean diet, free of processed foods. The more consistent you are on diet and training, the quicker the results will come.
The problem with biceps training is that many people overtrain them. You have to realize that when you train your back, your biceps are getting some work. Then, if you hit your biceps with excess exercises, sets, and reps on biceps day, you can slide into overtraining them.
In this article you will learn how to train your biceps with maximum intensity to build them as quickly as possible. Follow the plan. Don’t do more than what’s outlined. It’s not about volume, it’s about anaerobic intensity.
Palms-Up Curls
The biceps muscle (the biceps brachii, if you need to know the full terminology) makes up 1/3 of the arm size. It’s one muscle composed of two heads.
- Long head; lateral head
- Short head; medial head
It’s a good idea to start your training off hitting the long head first. You want to simulate the largest and strongest muscle first to get the most out of your training.
When you do a palms-up curl, you are stimulating the long head of the biceps. Therefore, start your biceps workout with any palms-up curl. This can be EZ bar curls, straight bar curls, drag curls, palm-up dumbbell curls, cable curls with palms up, etc. You get the idea.
Do 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions. Rest about 2 minutes between each set so you are recovered enough to put 100% into each set.
Rotation Curls
A rotation curl is any curl that creates a rotation at the wrist joint. Rotation curls hit the short head of the biceps muscle. The short head is the most noticeable head when you flex your biceps. It’s the biceps head that most people are trying to add size to. Just because this is the sought after biceps head, don’t neglect the long head. Both need to be trained fully to build full and round biceps.
Forms of rotation curls are alternate dumbbell curls, zottman curls, and wide-grip curls.
Shoot for 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps, resting roughly 2 minutes between sets.
Reverse Curls
Reverse curls are the red head step child. It’s hard to move a lot of poundage with this movement. But, if you are willing to let go of your ego, the pay off of reverse curls is huge.
Verywellfit.com tells us, “the primary muscles targeted during the reverse curl are the biceps (biceps brachii) and brachialis. The brachialis is not a readily visible muscle because it’s hidden under the biceps. It provides a structural bridge between the upper arm bone and the forearm.”
Reverse curls is a palms-up movement. This exercise is best using the EZ curl bar or dumbbells for the right angle. Keep in mind that this is not a “power” exercise. Therefore, you’ll need to use lighter weight and really zone-in on your form. When you build this hidden, and often neglected muscle, you’ll see your standard barbell curl skyrocket.
Try 3-4 sets using 10-12 reps, getting 2 minutes of rest between each set.
