Biceps Training Tips

  • *Vary your grip width and angle — supinated, neutral, and pronated grips each emphasize different portions of the biceps and brachialis.
  • *Incline curls stretch the long head more than standing curls, producing a fuller peak.
  • *Keep elbows pinned to your sides — swinging reduces bicep activation.
