Bicep Workout

A biceps introduction would not be complete without an explanation of what the biceps are and how they function in order to get the look you desire.   

Though the terms “bicep” and “tricep” are acceptable usages, the correct anatomical terms are “biceps” and “triceps”.  The biceps brachii flexes the elbow, supinates the forearm. This is the prominent muscle on the inside of your upper arm.  Antagonistically, the triceps brachii extends the elbow.    Each exercise in your biceps workout will work both of these muscles simultaneously as one will raise the forearm and hence work the biceps; while the second part of the movement will lower the forearm and thus work the triceps. 

Before beginning a biceps workout, please contact your physician and make sure you are physically able to begin an exercise workout.  Many of the exercises can be strenuous if you are just coming on to the weight training field and the healthy you are to begin the better results you will have as you begin working out.  This is especially helpful if you have a condition such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, or other types of potentially life threatening illnesses.  If you have been leading a sedentary lifestyle up to know, this is also a good time to not only make sure you can begin weight training exercises, including biceps and triceps training, as well as giving you a baseline for your path onto better health and lifestyle.

We will be walking you through the learning stages of biceps workouts and introducing you to various forms and the right and wrong way for the movements.  We will also be including beginning biceps workouts for seniors and women, as well as expert workouts for those looking for more strenuous workouts for their biceps. 

Biceps workouts can be done with free weights such as dumbbells as well as on machines and bar.  We will try to incorporate as many different types of apparatus to help you define, tone, and strengthen your upper arms.  However, we will mainly be focusing on the bicep area of the arm including the biceps brachii, brachialis, and the brachioradialis.  Each individual muscle plays its part in making a clearly defined “bicep” to show to the world.

We will begin with some of the easier beginning exercises and using layman terms help to visually show you what you will need to do in both muscle range as well as form in order to achieve the look you would like to have for your upper body. 

In addition, we will also show you what not to do in your bicep workout.  We will begin showing this from the very beginning. This will enable you to have good form, work the biceps to their fullest, and get what you are looking for in a great biceps workout.  The last thing you want to do in your biceps workout is to have to relearn an exercise because you never knew you were doing it incorrectly from the beginning.
