STANDING BICEP CURL
The standing bicep curl is the most familiar of all exercises for building biceps. You start by picking up the weight on the floor with your palms facing away from your body.Your hands should be shoulder length apart, that is not to grasp the ends of the bar or in the middle. Making sure not to fold back, you can rest a foot behind your body if it makes you more comfortable.
Then, keeping your bent at your sides, bring the bar to your chest together. You must bear the weight close to your chest for a moment before returning to the starting position.
It is important to do this exercise slowly. Do not let the weight rebound against your chest. This sets you up for injury to your side muscles, and it is not your biceps any good. If you have trouble doing this exercise in good shape, try a lighter weight and build from their coming weeks. Eight repetitions of this exercise is ideal.
BENDING -
Loop preacher is from a preacher bench loop, which resembles the chair used by a preacher. You sit behind a bench that is angled downward and forward in front of you. You should be able to rest your arm on the pavement. Adjust the seat so that the upper hand is close to your armpits.
As in the standing biceps curl, grab the bar with hands on shoulder width apart, or bunched in the middle or suspended at the ends. Lift the weight until your forearms are directed towards the ceiling and hold for a second or two. Then slowly lower the weight back to its starting position.
The advantage of using a preacher curl bench is that you have to exercise in good shape. Since the bank takes care of how you exercise, you are free to use heavy weight with faster muscle gains and less risk of injury.
-Five repetitions of the loop preacher is good. Start heavy and slow down.CABLE LOOP -
The cable loop has the same movements as the barbell curl, but is made with a cable machine rather than free weights. The cable maintains a constant pressure on the muscle throughout the year. And since you do not have to worry about gravity, you can "rest" your muscles in your upper leg. You can loop the cable from a standing position or on the preacher bench, but there are more benefits to more muscles you're exercising standing.
Adjust the cable so that it is as close to the floor where it will go, and clip on cable EZ curl bar or straight bar. When you take the stand, make sure your hands are facing away from your body. Pull the bar to the upper part of your chest. Pause, and slowly let the bar back to its starting position. Repeat for a total of only three repetitions. If you want to isolate your biceps so they get the benefit of the exercise, keep your elbows "dug" in your side.
SEATED DUMBBELL CURL -
The seated dumbbell curve is an exercise performed one arm at a time. This is a great way to isolate the biceps you can do biceps in both arms of equal strength. Usually, biceps arm your dominant hand (if you are left-handed, your left arm if you are right handed, right arm) is stronger. This exercise is the equalizer arm strength.
Select the dumbbells and stand freely at your sides, with the palms of your hands away from your body. Turn your hand in the middle of your lift so that your palm to your biceps. Slowly lower the dumbbell and repeat for the opposite arm.
Even if you do this exercise while sitting on a bench, you exercise the muscles in your back and legs. It is very important to keep your back straight and your buttocks flat on the bench, legs do not cross, feet flat on the floor in front of you. Only three repetitions of the exercise is sufficient. Never "throw" the dumbbell. Always use a slow elevator.
CONCENTRATION CURL -
loop concentration is about to isolate your biceps rather than lifting the heaviest weight possible. This is called "concentration" loop because you adopt the same pose as the famous bronze statue of Rodin's The Thinker.
Place the dumbbell in front of you at the end of a bench. Sit at the end of the bench, feet on the distance between them and a flat shoulder on the floor. Pressing your elbow against your thigh, you get the weight on the floor with your palms facing forward. As you slowly lift the weight, keeping your elbow against your thigh, turn your wrist to your upturned palm. Slowly lift the weight up to the bench, keeping your elbow against your thigh through the whole movement. Squeeze your biceps for a second at the top of the lift, and slowly return the weight to the ground, spilling your expectations if your palm is away from your body as the weight touches the ground.
In this exercise, your biceps are 100 percent of the work. It is important to work with a weight that you can lift without tilting to the right or to the left. Keep the rest of your body still as you build both strength and awareness of biceps curls.
