Thought I’d pass this on since there are a few people who are regular gym visitors. Waiter curls - if you haven’t tried these give them a go. They’re really effective. [Link]

How does this differ from 2 dumbbells normally raised from arms straight to bicep by bringing the forearms and hands closer with one dumbbell? One that I forget to do is sitting down and lifting the dumbbells turned so they’re lifted in line with your arm so that one of the weights goes to nearly touch your bicep at the top of the rep. This builds up the muscle area at the top of your forearm near your elbow. COYP

Yours sound like hammer curls?

If you want bigger biceps, I'd do close grip chins with low reps personally. Just my opinion.

Full range CG Chins are the best bicep exercise IMO. Such a small, insignificant muscle group compared to others, doesn't need a lot of stimulation/isolation La la la your mum

Originally posted by PalazioVecchio like a hamster running in a wheel. nope, not that interested. sports beat weights. And aerobics is mind numbing. age relevant i guess. i use weights about 4-5 days a week in my garage. easy to get in there and bash it for 20 mins to an hour depending on how i feel after work. I know if i had to be arsed to go elsewhere I probably wouldnt do it , so I can stick with it or blow out if its just not feeling right. Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
