SIZE = HEAVY WIEGTHS + COMPOUND EXERCISES

For biceps.. standing barbell curls.. and coming in second would be dumbell curls.

Or said in this way:

HIGH INTENSITY AND PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD = MUSCLE MASS

That's the key.

I have made some terrific gains with a variation on the dumbell curl. I sit backwards on a preacher curl bench, so my upper arms lock against the backside of the angled pad. This really isolates the biceps, plus it puts less strain on my lower back than using the preacher bench in the "normal" way. I can do regular or hammer curls from this position.
