Back when I was bodybuilding and determined to conquer the world (many years ago), I was visiting a gym in my home town of Rochester, NY. As luck would have it, Danny Padilla was working out there that afternoon. I was doing arms that day and started my usual routine of curls using an easy curl bar and dumbbells. I didn’t recognize him right away since I really wasn’t expecting to meet a pro bodybuilder in a little gym in Rochester. So when he said “hey let me show you how to do those the right way”, I didn’t realize who was giving me tips for doing arm exercises. It slowly dawned on me who this was because he was way bigger and in way better shape than any normal “big” guy in a gym. Plus, he’s only about 5′2″ tall. So here is what he showed me, and I still do them like this today- Do seated dumbbell curls with your palms turned out. Keep them turned out for the entire range of the exercise and make sure you go all the way down until you get full extension on your arms. Do them both arms at a time so you don’t tend to swing them up or use momentum. They will kill your biceps and you don’t need to use a lot of weight. They are also easy on your elbows since your arms aren’t locked into a certain position by a bar. I consider these the “squat” of bicep exercises. The pictures show the starting and ending points for the exercise.

There are lots of other good bicep exercises, but I suggest adding these if you don’t do them and then pick some other exercises that you like or that work well for you.
