Biceps Biceps Pull-Up Pull ups are arguably the greatest exercise in existence for building a big wide back, but have you ever thought about using your own bodyweight for building bigger biceps? Let’s turn this ultimate back builder into a biceps-centric punisher with a simple shift in form. Grab a pull-up bar with a shoulder-width underhand grip. Traditionally, you would arch your back and try to keep your arms out of the picture for back stimula- tion, but here you’ll round your back slightly and focus on curling your body up to the bar with your biceps. Squeeze for a peak contraction at the top before slowly returning to the starting position. 1 2 Order On-Line 24/7 Kettlebell Static Hold Kettlebells aren’t just for swinging; they can be effective tools for a myriad of reasons. Their uneven weight distribution can give any workout a new and unique experience forcing your body to keep up and adapt. There’s no reason your biceps can’t benefit from a little kettlebell work. Grab a pair of heavy kettlebells and bring them into the top position of an arm curl. This will be a static-hold exercise, so it’s important not to rest the weight in this top position; instead, lower the weight an inch or two so there’s constant tension applied. Hold the kettlebells in this position for a count of 20 or 30 seconds for each set. HOME AND COMMERCIAL FITNESS EQUIPMENT FACTORY DIRECT! 1,000’S OF PRODUCTS TO CHOOSE FROM!
