5 Explosive Bicep Exercises that Guarantees Big Arms

#5 Barbell Curl

Many see the barbell curl as the staple exercise for building bigger arms as it activates a host of muscles in the upper arms. With its simple motion, the exercise is ideal for even beginners and casual trainers.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with a firm torso and feet placed shoulder-width apart. Hold the barbell with both the hands such that the arms are close to the body and are fully extended. Keep in mind that the palms should be facing away from the body.

Step 2: With stationary upper arms, move the barbell upwards such that it is in line with the shoulders.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: Keep your elbows close to the body throughout the duration of the exercise. Vary the grip to target different muscle groups in the arms.
