Bulk Up Your Biceps
September 9, 2009
Ever watch a body building competition on television on a Sunday afternoon? I bet you stare in amazement at the size of the biceps on these men and women.
Maybe you’re even a bit envious. Could be that these competitions get your excited and motivated to build your own bulging biceps. But how would you, the average person, go about building big, bulging biceps? It’s not easy, I’ll tell you that much.
But it is possible. Professional body builders spend hours each day at the gym working hard on building their bodies. They set a goal and are determined to reach it.
If you think that you have the time and dedication to get huge biceps, then you too can get the look of those men and women that you see competing on television.
A good training program to develop your biceps will include many routines that involve pushing and pulling exercises. These types of motion will help build and sculpt bicep muscles.
Push and pull exercises put stress on the bicep muscles which in turn cause them to grow. To get the best results you will need to perform bicep exercises two times during the week.
Keep in mind that the goal is to push your muscles, not over work them. You will need to stick to this workout plan. To build strength in your muscles it is best to do multiple reps on a low weight.
You don’t have to monopolize the machines at the gym. Dumbbells will do the trick. There are different bicep exercises that can be done with dumbbells such as hammer curls. A standing hammer curl works better than being seated. When you stand you create more tension in your bicep muscles.
Stand with your back against the wall to give you balance and added tension. It is important to keep your back straight and still as you do not want to lift the weights with your back but with your arms. Keep your elbows locked when you are performing hammer curls.
Ask any professional body builder and they will tell you that building big biceps takes hard work and dedication. It is not something that will happen overnight or even in a couple of weeks.
Therefore, you need to set reasonable goals and stay determined. Listen to professionals at the gym when they give advice. You want to make sure that you do not hurt yourself.
Another bicep exercise is seated preacher curls. It’s like doing a bicep curl but your arms rest over a padded stand that is angled on the decline. This adds more tension to your bicep muscles.
