Reverse Curl your way to Bigger Biceps

on 1/15/2008 by ryan | filed in: Strength Training
Everyone wants big guns, and the majority or people are unaware that the key to beefing up their biceps is to target the brachialis, which rests under the biceps. A well developed brachialis can drastically inflate your arms.

The best way to target your brachialis is to do reverse-grip curls with a barbell, or an EZ bar if you prefer. (Please note: barbell's work the bi's better than an EZ bar). Hold the barbell with an overhand grip and make sure to keep your wrists straight. Then, keeping your elbows in, bring the barbell up and in toward your neck / upper chest.

You will definitely see a difference in arm size if you put this into your workout.

you gotta watch though because if you do tricep kickpacks heavy it can cause your shoulders not to streighten out compleatly which can mess up your forearms in the long run and revers curls can help your forearms so tighting them if they are already messed uo is not good unless you have some good streches but beleve me onec you mess up your wrist the streches take a long time to work.

also to see results you could do reverse preacher curls.

Gonna give it a try tomorrow - just so happens that's my curling day. Bummer - I've been using the EZ curl bar all this time, too!

I prefer ez bar too. Despite knowing that barbells give your bi's a better work, I still prefer the ez bar because the barbell puts uncomfortable strain on my wrist. So I guess it all depends on how much you want a very slight edge on working your bis.
