Bigger Arms Biceps Training

There are so many different variations of curls which can all contribute towards building bigger, denser and thicker biceps for you. 

One of these training techniques I'm going to share with you now is performing straight bar curls on the cable machine while lying down. 

There are two key reasons why doing this can work so well as another bicep exercise to add to your program.

1. Lying down means that your back has to remain flat throughout the entire set which removes any potential of generating momentum from anywhere OTHER THAN your biceps. This will help isolate your biceps more, ultimately.

2. Changing the angle like this means that you're leveraging a new point of tension, creating new levels of stress on the biceps which is ultimately a key contributing factor to forcing hypertrophy. 

Before you try this exercise, here are some extra tips to show first . . .

1. It's an exercise which works best with moderate to high reps because you're using less weight. If you go too heavy you'll struggle to keep the tension in the right area (biceps) throughout the entire range of motion.

2. Use a FULL range of motion on every rep. This is really key to getting the full benefit out of using a new angle in this context. Stretch and squeeze those biceps!!

3. Because of the angle and the fact you're using cables which enforce constant tension (they never "let go" like free weights do) use a 2 second pause at the top of each rep before going into the "negative." This will REALLY create tension and drive blood into the muscle, be prepared for a HUGE pump!!
