If there’s an exercise that dominates the gym floor when it comes to building bulging biceps, it’s the bicep curl and, rightly so. Not only is it incredibly effective, hitting the biceps brachii muscles (the long and short head of the biceps), to improve their roundness and strength, but it’s also a suitable exercise for the beginner through to the well-versed athlete.
The only problem is that constant bicep curls can get a little, you know...boring. This can often lead to you not giving them 100% effort during each training session, leaving serious gains on the table. If this sounds familiar, then maybe it’s time to swap your regular curls with some fresh new exercises instead. These are our favourites…
