"Bi's" From The Clinic

Biceps are one of our, "vanity" muscle groups and the bicep curl is the most common exercise for building those muscles, using any type of resistance i.e.… dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, cables or machines.


Feet should be approximately a shoulders width apart and engage the abdominal muscles on the exhalation. Inhale to prepare and exhale on the exertion.

Keep the elbow pinned at the hip and slowly flex your fist toward your shoulder with no added momentum.

Slowly lower, the weight to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps and sets.For a little extra, "pop" rotate the wrist, "out" at the top of the motion.

Work safely through the entire range of motion. If you can not execute the full range of motion decrease the weight.

Allow 48 hours for recovery. Back next week with another tip. See you in the gym!!!
