The ONLY 2 Biceps Exercises You Need (NO, SERIOUSLY!)
Building Big Biceps Made Easy
When it comes to building big biceps, there are countless exercises out there that claim to be the ultimate solution. But what if I told you that you only need two exercises to achieve those impressive biceps you’ve always dreamed of? Yes, you heard it right. In this article, we’ll unveil the only two biceps exercises you need, and trust us, they are highly effective!
The Foundation of Biceps Training
Now, some fitness enthusiasts might argue that you need a variety of exercises to target different muscle heads and functions. While that may hold true for other muscle groups, when it comes to the biceps, you can easily tackle all major functions with just about any biceps curl variation. This means you don’t have to overwhelm yourself with a ton of exercises, unless you’re ready to take your biceps training to the next level.
However, to build a solid foundation for your biceps growth, these two exercises should be a part of your workout routine. They played a crucial role in shaping my own biceps, and I guarantee they’ll do wonders for you too.
The Strict Curl / Cheat Curl Drop Set
The first exercise is the strict curl/cheat curl drop set. This exercise consists of two parts. Start by standing against a wall, with your back, butt, and head in contact with it. Curl the weight up without losing contact with the wall at any point. Push yourself to failure with these strict curls. Once you reach your limit, step away from the wall and transition into cheat curls.
During cheat curls, you can use a little momentum to lift the weight. However, pay close attention to the eccentric portion of the lift and lower the weight in a slow and controlled manner. This drop set combination allows you to overload your biceps with heavier weights and stimulates new muscle growth.
The Pullup Bar Arm Flex
The second exercise requires nothing more than a pullup bar and your bodyweight. It’s a simple yet effective movement that I’ve been doing since a young age. Grab the pullup bar with an underhand grip and stick your head forward, so the back of your head is in front of the bar. This position ensures you engage your biceps, forearms, and shoulders effectively.
To perform this exercise, flex your arms while holding the bar and maintain a 90-degree angle on your arms. Hold this position as long as possible and fight against the descent of your body. By challenging the negative part of the movement, you’ll maximize biceps activation and stimulate growth.
Building Your Biceps Breakthrough
While these two exercises provide an excellent foundation for biceps training, don’t limit yourself to just these two. If you want to take your biceps to the next level and target each function from different angles, there are various exercises you can incorporate into your routine. It’s all about finding the right mix that works for you.
Remember, consistency is key. Stick to your training plan and gradually increase the weights and intensity as you progress. With dedication and the right exercises, you’ll be well on your way to achieving those impressive biceps you’ve always desired.
So, are you ready to embark on your biceps-building journey? Incorporate these two exercises into your routine and watch your biceps grow. And if you’re looking for a comprehensive training program to elevate your workouts, head over to athleanx.com to find the perfect program for your goals.

Video title states – "The ONLY 2…"
Jeff states – "AT LEAST these 2…"
Would doing the curl on a bench at an angle be similar to the wall curl, i only have a barbell not a ex curl bar. Ive just start db curls on a incline bench and its money. Been doing that with my final reps being max eccentrics. Or maybe i could do wall curls with dumbbells? Definitely need to try that pull up one though. Never tried that kind of chin up hold thingy!!!
So how and why did you tear your bicep? How about a video on how to avoid tearing one’s bicep.
Jeff writes with both hands to prevent muscle imbalance
I have got 2 torn biceps so i can stand normal🥵🤣
That red face 😂😅
Jeff with a torn muscle? Ive seen everything now
This guy is the best fitness instructor in the world. Thank you Jeff
And keep SHOULDER movement out of your curls. That turns virtually any curl you do into a weapon. It's what the preacher curl does, but using it in a strict curl is exponentially more effective than preacher curls.
Exact same two I would have assumed and damn close to how I would say curls, but you add plenty of shoulder in there like 99% of lifters.
Great video! Thank you for helping me change my physique over the years
Nice. Going to try that out.
Don't disrespect me lookin like a ripped Ross from FRIENDS
Una riata mi Jeff, saludos 👍🏻🇲🇽
If I'm doing this til failure, i understand 1 set is enough? Or we're still talking about 3 sets of 10-12? (Sorry guys. I might have lost some info..)
Sounds really usefull! Cheers mate! I'll try that
So just for my own understanding, on bicep day this is all I would have to do? Because I feel like this wouldn't take me any more than 15 minutes
😀
Unless you are in very good shape there is no way normal people can do exercise two
My dogg Jeff got those super Saiyan biceps 😂

Nice!
For EZ Barbell Curls is the significant difference between wide grip an close grip?
Come to Golden BC Canada for Outdoor fitness enthusiasts spots see you soon
Regular curls & hammer curls for me.
What would be an alternative for beginner female that cannot hold up her own weight in the isometric bicep hold?
If you don't have a pull up bar , whats the best alternative to achieve the same ?
Thanks
Your videos are just too long. In this age of short videos, I need the gist of it instantly
You are so cut you have what we use to call "death face". Just giving you props for crazy conditioning.

Hi there.
I am skinny af😢and it irritates me way too much.. tomorrow (2-5-2023) I’ll be joining gym so plz tell me which exercises should be my basics and how do I gain some weight.
I am 1m77 or 5.8F and 62kgs.. your help might make me less depressed!
Hey! I hope Jeff sees this or someone with enough knowledge to guide me.
I've seen that my bicep strength (loads I curl) hasn't been progressing much as my triceps and on top of that my long head is way underdeveloped giving me a high bicep, like three fingers from my elbow. Any tips to improve on this?
100lbs,wow.
3:57 hello redskull
Only 2 biceps exercise
1. Strict barbell curl to drop set with slow eccentric all the way to failure in both
2. Holding isometric on pull up bar, head pointing forward, arms bent, hold for as long as you can
Have been having trouble getting the peak and and definition
I work 12 hr shifts rotating days. These are great for work days! Would love to see more of this series.
I've just been doing the 100 arm workout every arm day, it seems to have boosted my overall arm strength and the weight I can lift and it contains both these exercises.
How long should I beginner be expected to wait to see progress in the long bicep
My arms looking bigger than it was but when I measure them they are the same ( you must be wondering may be I burned some fat thats why they look defined therefore creating an illusion of bigger arms .well Im honestly not sure about that)
