The Best Bicep Exercises for Men

The biceps are the most prominent and effective muscle group for men. They are a sign of strength and deserve respect and praise. They are also the calling-card of the gym rat. Having a pair of big, muscular biceps can do wonders for your appearance.

Drag curls

Drag curls are a great way to strengthen your biceps. Drag curls can be performed in a way similar to a standard curled, but with less ROM. These dumbbells are great for overloading your biceps, and providing a good workout. You can also do this exercise using dumbbells.

Drag curls are one of the most commonly performed bicep exercises. They can quickly give you larger, toned, and better-defined biceps. A light barbell is a good option for beginners to help them learn and maintain balance. Personal trainers are a great way for you to learn the proper form and to be able to do this exercise well.

Zottman curl

The Zottman curl is a compound movement that does not require any primary muscles, unlike other biceps exercises. When you perform the Zottman curl, your biceps will be strengthened on the lifting part of the lift and the forearm muscle on the lowering. For a safe workout, focus only on the primary muscle group.

First, do a zottman curl with dumbbells. While standing, hold the weights with your palms facing forward and point your toes slightly outward. Next, rotate your wrist 180 degrees. At the same moment, activate your biceps.

Concentration curl

Concentration curls, one of the most popular bicep exercises for males, are very effective. These movements involve curling the barbell in a lifting and lowering motion. The movements require focus and intense effort. The goal is to present the muscle with the stimulus it needs to grow and adapt. At the top, you should squeeze the muscle and keep it tight as you lower your load.


Concentration curls help build muscle mass and biceps. They are designed to target the entire bicep muscle area and increase the size of the arm. You can do this exercise standing or sitting. For solid hypertrophy, concentrate curls focus on the long and short heads in the biceps. The typical set consists three to five sets that are six to twelve repetitions each.

EZ bar curl

The EZ-bar curl is a basic exercise that targets your upper abs, biceps, and upper back. The EZ bars can be held with either a medium or close underhand grip. The bar should be held at eye level. Next, turn your shoulders inward and press down on the bar. Keep your elbows bent slightly. Press down on your chest, shoulders, hips, and back.

The EZ Bar Curl is very similar to a standard dumbbell curl, but it requires a neutral grip as opposed to a strong grip. It's a joint-friendly grip and isolates the biceps better. The EZ bars can be used to isolate your arms and forearms if you are lifting heavy.

Close grip chin ups

Chin-ups can be a great way of building tension and tone your biceps. You should do these biceps exercises twice a week. This will allow your muscles time to recover from the previous session and prepare for the next. These exercises also aid in preventing upper-crossed.

While chin-ups can be done in the same way as standard pull-ups, they require a more narrow grip. This makes it more effective in building biceps. It also emphasizes the biceps better than a wide grip pull-up.
