Master at Arms
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

 
 
BARBELL SPIDER CURL: SUPINATED (Biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis) - Adjust an incline bench to 45. Press your chest against the bench with your arms hanging down. Use a grip that's slightly wider than shoulder width.

 
Bring the barbell up towards your shoulders, keeping your upper arms stabilised throughout. Squeeze your biceps at the top for peak contraction, returning slowly.

 
 
REVERSE BARBELL CURL: PRONATED GRIP (Brachialis, brachioradialis, biceps brachii)

 
The same movement as a standing barbell curl but with palms facing down.

 
 
BENT-OVER BARBELL CURL: SUPINATED GRIP (Biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis) - Besides isolating the biceps, this exercise will also strengthen your core muscles. Use a palms-up, shoulder-width grip and bend over 90 at the waist.

 
Curl the barbell from shin-height up towards your shoulders maintaining a slight arch in the lower back. Squeeze your biceps at the top, returning slowly with same spinal angle from start to finish.

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
