how to add thickness to bicep

splinter · 29-11-2005, 11:44 AM

Ive read it does not matter what type of curls you really do as long as the resistance is high because your genetics really determine what kind of biceps you get.

As long as your not cheating I dont really think that the exercise you really do will make much difference.

For Biceps Mass
* barbell curls
For Biceps Definition...
* incline dumbbell curls = overall shaping movement
* preacher curls = lower biceps
* concentration curls = height of the biceps

yes you are correct, you cant shape the biceps or any muscle for that matter. Muscles either get bigger or smaller, genetics determins the shape not what exercise you use.

Having said that certain exercises build up the brachius underneath the bicep which does make you bicep look fuller, wider etc.

you cannot isolate part of a muscle

I am just recamending a few traning exersises that will help get the bicep muscle bigger.

Stick to doing barbell curls they will add thickness for sure whilst giving you a good forrearm workout too. Make sure you keep a light weight though as wrists are prone to hurt. Get full range of motion. An exercise that really hits the bicep is the preacher curl with an olympic bar...OUCH!!
