Your biceps are those muscles that run from your elbows to your forearms. Anyone who is looking to bulk up will usually target those parts of the arms to enhance, along with the upper arm as it leads to the shoulders. There are many different ways to help build the muscles on your arms that can be effective and easy. The most important thing for you to have is patience with the process as building up the biceps can take some time.
The most common way for adding bulk to the arm muscles is push-ups. But rather than doing straightforward pushups, you can expand your repertoire by using dumbbells and free weights. When you put a dumbbell in each hand and do your standard push-ups, you are not only adding a new element to your exercise, you are also improving your balance as well. As you do your enhanced exercises, try slowly lifting one arm as you push your body up and see what kind of effect that has on your overall results.
Whether you are doing pushups or not, using dumbbells is one of the best ways to build those biceps. You can do something as simple as slowly lifting each hand weight while you are in a seated position to work on your biceps. If you want to enhance this exercise so that it also helps to work on other parts of your body, then try lifting the free weights from a kneeling position. You can also lie on your back and slowly raise then lower the hand weights to help work on your arms, shoulders and your upper back.
One of the good things about trying to enhance your bicep muscles is that you will also be doing some good for other parts of your upper body. Pull-ups are great ways to grow the arm muscles, and they also help the shoulders and neck as well. The more results you see in the areas that you are targeting, the more good you are doing for the rest of your upper-body as well. As long as you stay with it and do a couple of sets of pull-ups each day, you will start to see the results that you are looking for.
Arm curls are excellent exercises to help in building biceps, and there are a couple of variations you can use to make these routines more interesting. The most common curls are done with hand weights while you are in a standing position. As you get comfortable with the weight you are using, it would be a good idea to slowly add more for enhanced resistance.
Another form of curls that is becoming popular is using elastic resistance bands and pulling up from your waist to your chest. These are bands that slip on your feet and force you to pull up as they create resistance. It is a variation on the curls that will help you to get closer to the results you are looking for, while also helping you to work on the muscles in other parts of your arms as well.
