How To Design Your Ultimate Biceps Workout Guide

Most guys who want to build arm muscles wants to believe that there is some kind of best bicep training that will guarantee them to gain muscle mass in their upper arms. However the disappointing truth is that there is no such thing as the best bicep workout for everybody.

The reason is because everyone has a body that responds to different workout stimulus and nutrition differently and because of this, muscle growth is stimulated for everybody by different things that you do and eat.

Although a certain bicep workout may work well for me, that doesn't mean that it is guaranteed to get you the same result. With that said, there are a few bicep growth stimulating exercises that you should include in your workouts if you really want to force your biceps to grow to its peak.

Okay, let's face it guys, a pair of thick sleeve stretching biceps can of course be very impressive, but making your upper arms grow can be a lot harder than most people realize.

While the usual 3 sets of 8 reps barbell curls is fine for beginners or even for some intermediate weight training, you have got to learn how to take your bicep workouts up another notch if you really want to build bigger arms. So how are you going to do that?

Herebelow are some bicep training tips that have helped me to pack on over 4 inches to my arms. Each of these workout tip is tried and tested and I guarantee that they can help you build bigger biceps.

Read through each of these tips carefully and start implementing them one by one and before you know it, your bicep workouts will be stimulating some serious muscle growth and everyone will start noticing your powerful muscular arms in no time!

The first tip for making your biceps grow may seem like it's completely unrelated to bicep training, but it's vital to your success. If you are serious about forcing your arms to grow, then you need to make sure that you are performing heavy dead-lifts to failure at least once a week.

Although the dead-lift is not direct bicep training, it is a very powerful exercise that forces your body to produce more testosterone and growth hormones which are very important for explosive muscle growth all over the body including your biceps.

Next, make sure that your arm workouts are designed around the most effective growth inducing muscle building exercises. If you do not piece together your workouts around the right exercises, you will not be able to stimulate growth in your arms. Stick with the bicep exercises that allow you to train with heavy weights through a complete full range of motion. My favorite bicep exercises are :-


*Barbell Curl


*EZ Bar Curl


*Alternating Dumbbell Curl


*Hammer Curl


*Dumbbell Incline Curl


*Cable Curls


*Preacher Curl


*Dumbbell Preacher Curl

About 90% of my personal bicep workouts start with either barbell curls, ez bar curls or alternating dumbbell curls. These simple bicep exercises allow me to use heavy weight to blast my biceps. If you focus on training with heavy weights in a consistent manner, then your biceps must grow in size!

Keep the exercises in your bicep workouts in the 6 - 8 repetition range. This is within the commonly accepted "muscle building" repetition range. Keeping your arm workouts in this repetition range allows you to train as heavily as possible while still ensuring that you are stimulating muscle growth.

Next, do design your bicep workouts so that you perform only 2-4 sets of 1 or 2 exercises maximum. This lets you to keep your workout duration under an hour while ensuring that your biceps get all the work they need to grow. Also make sure to rest for 2 - 3 minutes between sets so that you can recover some strength for the next set.

You should hit the gym to blast your bicep only once each week. If you just feel like you have to train your biceps more often than this, then you are going to have a really hard time gaining any muscle in your arms. Although you may get away with it for awhile, eventually you are going to hit a plateau and worse, even start to lose muscle size and strength in your arms.

So instead of taking the volume approach to your bicep workouts, focus on making each workout as effective as possible. This is the key to stimulating muscle growth. Get into the gym, get through your workout then get out of the gym as quickly as possible so that you can focus on feeding your body with muscle building nutrients.


All the best to your quest for explosive biceps growth and remember to get your Free Report -
