Bicep Exercises

The biceps muscle is the muscle at the front of your upper arm. It is comprised of two muscles, the Biceps brachii and brachialis.

These are powerful muscles which work to flex the elbow joint. The most common exercises to work these muscles are various curls - these can be performed with barbells, dumbbells, or on a machine.

Whichever exercises you perform you should always follow the principals of good weight lifting.

As with any muscle, growth will depend upon a number of factors including the exercise you do, your diet, and appropriate rest.

To achieve great looking biceps, vary your reps - your weights - method of lifting and your exercises used.

Its essential that you give your muscles adequate time to rest, as the rest period is where the muscles are rebuilt by your body - over training can lead to muscle weakness and risk of injury.
