Huge biceps

Paul01 Posts: 14 Joined: 2005/03/02	2005/07/02, 10:12 PM Alright. I want big biceps, but I'm working out at home. I only have dumbells and can only think of the one excerise for biceps(can curls) with these. Can anyone suggest any other excercises I can use to help get big biceps?

How much do you weigh?......big guns are on big guys....not skinny ones. Good rule is for every inch you want on your arms, you need about 10lb gained over all. Big guys have big chest,back shoulders...and even legs. 2. triceps are 60% of your arm....and make it look big even unflexed, so unles you hit a bicep pose ever 2 secs.....work the triceps more. 3. To gain good solid weight.....you need a good solid diet.....the 1st 2 "points" don't matter unless number 3 is met....... -------------- gravity is not a law, only a obstacle

Of course I am sure you are well aware that no matter how many curls you do, you need to work the rest of your body. The bicep will not just magically grow "huge" no matter what you do. You have to proportionally train, besides, it is much better for you. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

That would be 21 repetitions. Do a search about them on fitbuddy. I personally don't like to do them, but you might. DX
