The Key to a Good Biceps Workout

Let me clear up something. The biceps structure are two muscles, the main biceps head and the a little seen muscle called the brachlias (or something like that). There is no such thing as "angle working". When you build muscle, you just build muscle and the shape of your muscles is determined by genetics. Now, someone might say, "Hey Ryan, but how did Mr. Bodybuilder over there receive so definition, must be those preacher curls, huh?" No, its not. It's called low levels of bodyfat, combined with well=developed muscles. Now, I do believe that exercises can be used to target certain part of the muscle, like preachers to attack the lower bicep part next to the elbow, but it can't radically change your biceps shape like some bodybuilders claim. So here is the program I recommend:


  • Barbell Curls = 6-12 reps = 2 sets
  • Incline Dumbbell Curls = 6-12 reps = 2 sets
  • Preacher Curls = 6-12 reps = 2 sets

    You only need to do this workout once a week. If you are hitting your lats hard enough with compound movements like lat pulldowns, your biceps will receive a beating that requires few additional work
