So many people are obsessed with arm<\/strong> training (especially some men) and building great biceps.<\/strong> This comes with\u00a0 a big chest<\/strong> and arms.\u00a0 If people notice your good-looking arms,\u00a0they will know you are on top of your training game.\u00a0\u00a0 When you aim for maximum size, the importance of lifting should be emphasised.\u00a0 A good idea is to focus on exercises that will allow you to lift the heaviest weight possible.<\/p>\n

Here are the five best exercises –<\/strong>\u00a0that focus on the biceps –\u00a0to add on to your training programme.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Barbell bicep curl (straight bar or E-Z bar)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This exercise<\/strong> allows you to overload the biceps with a heavy weight.\u00a0 Most people are often stronger when lifting a barbell<\/strong> rather than lifting dumbbells,<\/strong> so this is a great way to for maximum strength development. Don’t use momentum during the exercise and keep the elbows<\/strong> isolate next to your sides. The movement should also be slow and controlled. Using the E-Z bar is a nice variant from time to time and will give your wrists and elbows a break from the stress placed on them by the straight bar.<\/p>\n
