Reverse Curl your way to Bigger Biceps Reverse Curl your way to Bigger Biceps
 		Save Tip

Everyone wants big guns, and the majority or people are unaware that the key to beefing up their biceps is to target the brachialis, which rests under the biceps. A well developed brachialis can drastically inflate your arms.

The best way to target your brachialis is to do reverse-grip curls with a barbell, or an EZ bar if you prefer. (Please note: barbell's work the bi's better than an EZ bar). Hold the barbell with an overhand grip and make sure to keep your wrists straight. Then, keeping your elbows in, bring the barbell up and in toward your neck / upper chest.

You will definitely see a difference in arm size if you put this into your workout.

OzzieOcean “ I have done this in my last 2 bicep workouts, and I can feel the difference. I am sure the difference will be visible quite soon too. ”

ryan “ I prefer ez bar too. Despite knowing that barbells give your bi's a better work, I still prefer the ez bar because the barbell puts uncomfortable strain on my wrist. So I guess it all depends on how much you want a very slight edge on working your bis. ”

plucky “ Gonna give it a try tomorrow - just so happens that's my curling day. Bummer - I've been using the EZ curl bar all this time, too! ”

Ron “ Tried this for the first time today. Awkward. Think I might have been doing it wrong. Gripping the bar incorrectly, possibly trying too much weight...or too little? Didn't really felt like it was doing anything, except possibly for my triceps.

I'll keep practicing though. ”

ApolloFit “ Yeah, so many focus on straight curls, when other forms are more effective. I like hammer curls as well, they also put more emphasis on the brachialis. ”
