Biceps Exercises

28 exercises 4K video Male & Female

The biceps brachii, along with the brachialis and brachioradialis, flex the elbow and supinate the forearm. They are the show muscles of the upper arm, but they also play a key role in every pulling movement: rows, pull-ups, and deadlifts all recruit the biceps as secondary movers. Barbell curls, dumbbell curls, and hammer curls form the foundation of biceps training. Incline dumbbell curls stretch the long head at the bottom for a greater growth stimulus, while preacher curls isolate the short head at peak contraction. Personal trainers should remind clients that the biceps are a small muscle group, they do not need excessive volume. 8-14 direct sets per week, combined with the indirect work from back training, is enough for most clients. Focus on controlled eccentrics, full range of motion, and a brief squeeze at the top. Avoid swinging the weight, momentum robs the biceps of tension and shifts load to the shoulders and lower back.
