Few things to know before you start:
- Choose a weight that you are comfortable with for 12-15 reps.
- Biceps consists of two muscles, the long head (length) and the short head (peak).
- Don’t use momentum to work out as it may lead to overstrain and injury.
- It is beneficial to work out your biceps while doing your pull exercises as the muscles will already be warmed up. For example, train biceps on your back day.
- Time under tension plays a very important role while training biceps. When you put the muscles under tension for 3 to 5 seconds, you seize the maximum advantage of that exercise
It’s important to be in the right posture and maintain the right form while using the complete range of motion of the exercise.

Bicep Barbell Curls
- Stand up so that your torso is upright when you hold a barbell at a shoulder-width grip. Your palms should be facing forward and elbows close to your torso.
- Keep your upper arms stationary and curl the weights forward while contracting your biceps and exhale. Only your forearms should move.
- Continue this movement till your biceps are contracted and the bar is at shoulder level. Hold this contracted position for a second while squeezing your biceps hard.
- Slowly begin to bring the bar back to the starting position as you inhale.
