The Biceps Workout Tip You’ll NEVER Forget!

Introduction

Have you ever wondered if there’s a secret to building bigger biceps? Well, what if I told you that I have a workout tip that you’ll never forget? In this article, I’m going to reveal a game-changing technique that can be applied to any biceps exercise you do, regardless of the equipment you use.

The Problem with Traditional Biceps Exercises

When it comes to biceps workouts, many people make a common mistake with their grip and wrist position. Take, for example, the popular EZ curl bar. Most individuals tend to use a wider grip for comfort, but this grip forces their hands into a pronated position rather than the optimal supinated position.

The Importance of Supination

To maximize the contribution of your biceps in any exercise, it’s crucial to supinate your forearms. This not only flexes your elbows but also helps in activating the biceps. So, what’s the solution to fix this issue?

Flipping the Bar for Greater Supination

If you’re using an EZ curl bar, simply flip it over and grab the handles in a position that allows for greater supination. By doing this, you ensure that the emphasis is on the biceps and not on the brachialis.

Exploring Other Equipment

Now, let’s move on to other equipment like cable machines and dumbbells. When using a cable machine for curls, keep your wrists in extension, especially at the top of the movement. This allows you to keep the line of force perpendicular to the forearms, ensuring maximum biceps activation.

The Benefits of Dumbbell Curls

Dumbbells offer more freedom of movement, making supination and extension easier. To optimize the results of your dumbbell curls, hold an offset grip on the handle and try raising your pinkies higher at the top of the range of motion to enhance supination. Remember to keep those elbows tight for better control and engagement.

Overcoming Biceps Injuries

Biceps injuries can be a setback, but it’s possible to work around them. If you suspect a biceps injury, try supinating your forearm to test the muscle’s status. Limitations in supination may indicate damage to the biceps. Seek medical advice if you suspect an injury.

Conclusion: Unleash the Power of Supination for Massive Biceps Growth

By utilizing the power of supination and proper wrist extension, you can take your biceps workouts to the next level. Whether you’re using an EZ curl bar, a cable machine, or dumbbells, never underestimate the importance of grip and wrist positioning. Incorporate these biceps workout tips into your routine, and you’ll be on your way to developing impressive, bulging biceps!

Remember, consistency and proper form are key to achieving your fitness goals. Stay dedicated, work hard, and watch those biceps grow.

Mentzer taught me to NEVER use an EZ BAR for curls. The purpose of the bicep is to SUPINATE. If you're flared at all, you aren't entirely supinated thus the bicep is NOT fully engaged. Save yourself time and use a straight bar.

I’m late with this question. Please describe more about bicep tears, including: self diagnosis and degree of injury; home treatment and therapy. And how to—or not to—train around it. Also, at what point should one seek professional attention. Thanks in advance.

Nice, but what about the inside (incline) curl part of the bar? How are you supposed to properly do that one? is it also with the wrists facing outwards?

I often keep the thumb with the fingers on the same side of straight bar curls. It feels like it isolates the biceps more?

Being in a wheelchair, I don't get the full effect of your videos…but while making my way thru your library…which has been a great follow, I went to Academy and grabbed one of those bars to add to my dumbbell and kettlebell setup. Thanks for the info and all the videos…even legs. 😂 💪🏼💪🏼

I have been using that suppinated grip on easy bar for over 20 years. do it the other way and your biceps never get taxed. the normal way seems to hit forearms more but not well either, been teaching that to my clients for many years. straight bar biceps i been wrist back over 30 years. i learned it from a top trainer at golds in Venice cali

On my left elbow I broke the rotator head about 40 years ago I had surgery to repair the damage and regain about 85-90% movement.
But due to this injury I can’t get my hand to a pronated position. Do you have any suggestions on how I might have better success?

David Nika June 19, 2023 - 12:53 pm

To focus on supination, I grab a straight lat bar (or any bar that weighs 10-20 lbs).
With upper arm straight up and down, and forearm at a 90 degree angle, I grab the bar off of center a bit, and supinate. If it's too heavy, I grab it closer to the center. I keep it light enough so that I can do 15 reps, holding briefly at the top. I focus on keeping my wrists straight while doing this. I don't want the back of my hand bent toward the floor at all…I want a straight line from the elbows to my knuckles. Anybody else do this? If you look at your biceps while doing this, you'll really see it working. You can use a light kettle bell for this too.

i think he missed another benfit of keeping wrists back, that being shortening the forearm by contracting the forearm flexors makes the top1/2 of the exercise easier.
Keeping the wrists back keeps the forearm lever longer and the bar farther away from shoulder making it much harder on top 1/2 of movement.
