Cable II

The cable provides constant tension on the muscle while reducing the stress placed on the joints

 
 
STABILITY-BALL CABLE CURL: SUPINATED (Biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis) - Place a stability ball near one end of the cable machine, leaving just enough room for you to kneel down behind it. Pick up an EZ-bar at the opposite end and walk it back and around the stability ball. Kneel down with your upper arm over the ball.

 
Slowly curl up towards your shoulders pausing at the top to squeeze your biceps and return slowly.

 
 
ROPE HAMMER CABLE CURL: HAMMER GRIP (Brachialis, brachioradialis, biceps brachii) - Attach a rope to a low pulley and hold with palms facing in. Stand 1.5 feet from the weight stack with your feet shoulder-width apart and upper arms locked at your sides.

 
Raise the rope up in a semicircle toward your shoulders. Rotate the handles out to the sides at the very top, pausing to squeeze your biceps and return slowly.

 
 
SUPINE ROPE CABLE CURL: HAMMER GRIP (Biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis) - Attach a rope to a low pulley and hold with a hammer grip, lying face up on the floor with your feet pressed against the base of the frame of the cable machine.

 
Without moving your upper arms, curl the rope up towards your chest keeping your body flat against the floor during the entire motion. Pause at the top, squeeze and return.

  MASTER AT ARMS

BACK

 

Barbell

Although providing less mobility than dumb-bell moves, barbell exercises put less focus on co-ordination.
 

Dumb-bells

To fully develop the biceps, it's best to supinate your hands as you do various permutations of dumb-bell curls.
 

Cable

Unlike free weights where resistance is governed by gravity, cables allow resistance to come from a variety of directions.
 

Barbell II

While it doesn't allow for a great range of motion, the barbell is a must for moving the greatest amount of weight possible
 

Cable II

The cable provides constant tension on the muscle while reducing the stress placed on the joints
