Every man wants to have a well built and big set of biceps. In fact, those who are fans of working their bodies often give biceps some nicknames. This sort of obsession with huge biceps has become more common lately. Nowadays, if you go to the gym, you will see some guys who do biceps curls in sets, others who spend more than one hour doing curls while looking at themselves in the mirrors.

If you are one of those obsessive men who carry their weights when going on vacation, pay attention to this article that will provide you the description of some common problems when facing a bodybuilding program focused on bicep training. This summary may be very useful to discard programs that are not effective at all.

Problem No 1: More quantity does not mean better

If you think that though doing more sets, you will achieve huger biceps, you are wrong. This means that once you have achieved the exercise with an extra pound, you will be ready to start the next exercise without torturing yourself by doing the same exercise for one hour.

Problem No 2: Obsession on how biceps look while they are being training

The best way to train your biceps properly is by emphasizing an increase in strength, in order not to have deflated biceps when leaving the gym.

Problem No 3: Not focusing on increasing your total body strength

Many men train their chest, back and shoulders muscles without paying much attention to their arms. Make sure that they are growing proportionally. On the other hand, if you blast your biceps, they will be over-fatigue.

Problem No 4: Repeat the same exercise all the time

Experts always promote the use of two basic exercises to build biceps: barbell curls and dumbbell curls. It is important to remark that they are really effective, but if you prepare your barbell curls up to 110 pounds for a few "slow speed" sets and your dumbbell curls up to 50 pounds for a few "slow-speed" sets, you will be able to try the following varieties:

Exercise 1: "Press" the outer part of the muscle by placing your elbows outwards and using a super-close grip.

Exercise 2: "Press" the inner portion of the biceps by taking a super-wide grip on the bar and digging your elbows into your side.

Exercise 3: "Press" the brachialis and brachioradialis stick to hammer curls and reverse curls.

Problem No 5: Muscles without enough tension

Many bodybuilders do not understand the concept of training a muscle in isolation. Biceps respond to constant tension. To obtain results, it is necessary to maintain the bar constantly moving.

Some useful advice.

In order to get the best results, prepare a bicep program that includes a new aim: to gain extra 5 pounds of total weight within the next 5 weeks. These additional 5 pounds will provide you with at least an extra inch on your arms.
