HOW TO PERFORM THE BICEP CURLS

There are many different apparatus that can be used when doing bicep curls such as bicep curls machines, multipurpose machines dumbbells or barbells. Free weights are said to be better because they take the muscle thought a natural range of movement. I would say that the use of dumbbells for the biceps curl is the best because it allows you to carry out one-arm curls, which allows each arm to be worked to it’s full potential. It can also be done standing or seated.

The preacher curl bench allows you to isolate the muscles used during the biceps curl and also eliminate elbow stress. By using a preacher curl bench the trunk is more stable which provides a good base. During the exercise the resistance is greatest at full extension and decreases as the arm is flexed.
