]]> If there’s one workout that appears to be famous among all gym-goers, it’s the bicep curl. While a simple enough movement to grasp, there are actually a few important considerations to have in mind if you intend to do the most effective bicep curl possible. Here are some essential tips to remember the next time you’re doing bicep curls.

Maintain Good Posture

Throughout the movement, it’s crucial that you stand straight. Squeeze your shoulder blades and keep your glutes and abs engaged so that you don’t start slouching at any point during your workout. This will benefit your posture in the long run.

Keep Your Shoulders Down

Sometimes, as the exercise wears on, you may start to hunch your shoulders as you struggle to get through your workout. No matter how difficult the movement gets, make sure to keep your shoulders down so that you can get the maximum benefit for your biceps.

Stay In Rotation

While many people think that they need to keep their fists still throughout the movement, a proper bicep curl requires you to rotate upwards as you lift the weight and return to your starting position as you lower back down. What’s more, it makes each rep more challenging.

]]> Everyone loves talking about core these days, but there’s nothing wrong with wanting to sculpt those biceps and show off your arm muscles. We’ve rounded up some fantastic bicep workouts that will help you build strength, definition, and confidence. Say goodbye to those flabby arms and get ready to flex those guns with pride as we go through three awesome bicep exercises.

Hammer Curls

One of the best exercises for targeting your biceps is the hammer curl. Grab a pair of dumbbells, palms facing your body, and curl the weights up towards your shoulders. This exercise not only works your biceps but also engages your forearms.

Incline Dumbbell Curls

To really hit those biceps, try incline dumbbell curls. Sit on an incline bench with dumbbells in hand, arms extended straight down. Curl the weights up, focusing on squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.

Resistance Band Curls

If you’re on the go and don’t have access to weights, resistance band curls are an excellent alternative. Step on the band with one foot and hold the other end with your hand. Curl the band up, keeping tension throughout the movement. This exercise is convenient, versatile, and perfect for maintaining your biceps when you’re away from the gym.

The Black Adam star is about as buff as they come, with his biceps basically the size of an average person’s head. The actor demonstrated on Instagram how his youngest daughter helps to keep him in shape. 

In a video posted to the social media platform, The Rock can be seen lifting four-year-old Tiana with just one arm at a time. The giggling little girl is holding onto both her legs as she curls herself into a ball and counts the lifts as he goes. Her doting dad then kisses the toddler before setting her down. 

“Flew all night long just to walk thru the door in time for breakfast and ‘daddy curls’ at 7am,” Johnson captioned the clip.

The 50-year-old’s trainer Dave Rienzi previously shared a routine for how to get arms like the action star. It begins with rope pushdowns in which you squeeze at the bottom of the rep and includes dumbbell skull crushers that involve extending the arms further back in order to keep tension on the triceps, dual cable pushdowns, dumbbell kickbacks with two-second holds, barbell curls, dumbbell concentration curls, a tri-set of incline dumbbell curls, incline hammer curls, and EZ bar spider curls. 

Whew!

]]> Even professional trainers mix up a chin-up and a pull-up when talking about these upper-body exercises. But did you know that they’re actually two different exercises, working on different parts of your body?

The Difference

A chin-up is a variation of pull-up but, the hand position is different. When doing a chin-up, your palms face you. In a pull-up, they face away from you. The space between your hands is different between the two exercises—in chin-ups, your arms are held in a narrower grip and in pull-ups, your arms are wider than shoulder-width.

The Benefits

There are many benefits for both of these exercises. Biceps are being strengthened in both but get more focus when doing a chin-up. Pull-ups are actually much more challenging on the back than chin-ups. Your posture and grip strength are improved, and they sculpt your muscles like no other back or arm exercise.

Pull-Ups

Hold on to the bar with your arms straight and palms facing away from you. Engage the lats by drawing them down towards your hips. Hold your core and then pull up to get your chest to the bar.

Chin-Up

Start by hanging from the bar, with your arms straight and palms facing you. Tuck the chin so it doesn’t jut out over the bar. Engage the lats and core and start to pull up—you’ll feel the biceps more at the end of this movement. Straighten down to the start position and do as many as you can.

]]> Strong arms never go out of fashion. Think Michelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez—we all want what they have. It takes just 15 minutes of focused arm exercises to stay toned and strong. All you need are some dumbbells and a yoga mat and you’re set. These exercises can be incorporated into your full body workouts, or you can dedicate one workout a week to your upper body.

Bicep Curls

Standing with your feet hip width apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Without moving the upper arms, bend the elbows and bring the weights towards the shoulders. Lower back to starting point with control and do 11 more reps.

Alternating Bent Over Row

With dumbbells or kettlebells, stand feet hip-width apart and your palms facing each other. Hinge the hips backwards and bring the upper body parallel to the floor. Contracting the core, bend the left elbow back, bringing the hand in line with your ribs, lower back to start position. Do 12 reps on each side.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start with feet apart and knees bent. Lean slightly forward with a dumbbell in each hand, elbows at 90 degrees by your sides. Press the dumbbells back and up, and as you straighten your arms, squeeze the triceps. Lower weights with control to start position. Do 12 reps.

When it comes to classic exercises you can’t possibly do without the dumbbell biceps curl. It’s literally one of the first exercises learned when one starts visiting the gym, just grab two dumbbells and work them up and down with your elbows pointing directly behind you. If performed correctly this exercise will widen your biceps in no time!

Hammer Curl

Another famous biceps workout is the hammer curl which is basically the standard curl but with dumbbells flipped on the side with the palm facing one’s thighs. The important thing with this exercise is that you should keep the upper arm fixed.
