Bicep

Training

The biceps can be strengthened using weight and resistance training. Examples of well known biceps exercises are the chin-up and biceps curl. The majority of weightlifters separate bicep exercises into two categories: exercises which focus on the short-head of the biceps brachii and those which work the long-head. Bicep curls, barbell curls, and concentration curls primarily focus on the short-head of the biceps brachii, while dumbbell waiter curls and close-grip barbell curls work the long-head of the biceps. In addition to these, weightlifters include exercises for the brachialis muscle, such as hammer curls, to increase the size of the upper arm.
