Is your bicep workout not giving you the gains you were hoping for? Then it’s time to re-evaluate and ask yourself if you\u2019re doing it the right way. You’ll never achieve that bicep definition you’ve always wanted if you lack some essentials in your workout. Here, we’ll explain why you’re probably not\u00a0getting that bulk on your biceps and what you can do to fix it. Two words:\u00a0preacher curls.<\/p>\n

Biceps Workout | The Forgotten Rule Explained<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

How You Do Preacher Curls the Usual Way<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you position yourself on the preacher bench with your arms on the pad,\u00a0you start to curl up and down your way.<\/p>\n

At this point, you’ll feel contractions on your biceps when you squeeze your muscles with the curls. This is partially correct because the repetitive movement does stimulate your muscles in some way eventually, thus giving you some enhancement.<\/p>\n

The Real Issue<\/span><\/h3>\n

What you’re doing with your biceps may seem correct for you, but essentially, you\u2019re forgetting something important. What could you be doing wrong with such a seemingly simple movement?<\/p>\n

The problem is you’re probably not achieving peak contraction. This means you’re squeezing your biceps but forgetting to completely shorten the muscle to its peak.<\/p>\n

You\u00a0might be too focused on lifting heavy loads because that\u2019s where you get bigger arms<\/a>. But this idea is a bit tricky and you may be wondering why you\u2019re not seeing any muscle development<\/a> all over your entire bicep when you know you\u2019re consistent with your exercise.<\/p>\n

Bicep Flex<\/span><\/h3>\n

Before we discuss the proper way of shaping your entire bicep, let\u2019s first talk about your flex. This is so you understand what goes down during your biceps workout.<\/p>\n

When you straighten your arms, you\u2019ll see your biceps coming out or protruding a little bit. You can also see muscle separation if you\u2019re already lean.<\/p>\n

As you bring your forearms up closer to your upper arms, you\u2019ll see your biceps getting bulkier and shorter, tightening the muscles in that area. If you bring it even closer, to the point where you can no longer move your forearm up, you\u2019ll see the maximum bulk of your biceps, which is the hardest state and the peak point.<\/p>\n

How You Properly Do Your Biceps Workout<\/span><\/h3>\n

You must aim for the same muscle movement as that with your bicep flex when you\u2019re doing your biceps workout. This way, you make sure the entire bicep is working and you’re not only\u00a0building muscles<\/a> on the short head.<\/p>\n

Instead of just doing what you were used to, try to aim higher. Bring your wrists close to your shoulders, so you hit all the right spots.<\/p>\n

Make sure you’re completing each curl fully, no matter how heavy the load is. This will ensure your entire biceps are covered\u2014and equally given the chance to bulk up.<\/p>\n
