Weaknesses: The biceps

We return with a new article in which we discussed the weaknesses we have in our body, and some ways to treat this weakness. In the article two days ago, we talked about how to strengthen our shoulders, with a series of tricks to improve our strength and aesthetics in that muscle.

Today we proceed to do the same with the biceps, following a similar pattern. Ie, I will discuss the importance of having a strong biceps, and how to improve the aesthetics of muscle, and how to improve muscular strength and endurance of the same.

Weaknesses - The biceps

The biceps are the most "visible" muscle in the human body (subtracting the neck). Is the reference that takes many people to see if someone is really strong, because it is the most visible muscle when it's hot and began to emerge short sleeves. Neither the torso or back, generate such a strong effect on people as the biceps.

Feeling a strong arm, coming especially from the biceps brachii, which is responsible for the famous "ball". To strengthen the curl in any of its variants and the pull ups (especially supine) are very good exercises that will help us achieve this.

Weaknesses - Improving the functionality of the biceps

The biceps, although not the most important muscle from the functional point of view, it is important to improve such important exercises like deadlifts or pull ups. Let's see, what bicep exercises that can help us are:

Barbell Bicep Curl: important to gain strength in the biceps and grip exercise. Besides being the most important movement isolation, greatly strengthens our forearms. Realize dumbbell is helpful, although I prefer the version with bar to improve results.

Supine Pull Up: The supine pull up, is an exercise in body strength necessary if we want to gain strength. Complicated, but effective, it is important that we lower down to take full advantage of this movement. 

Deadweight: Although the effect of dead weight not seem important at the biceps, is a stabilizing muscle. Also nuance, the less involved compared to other muscles, better and to be mere wires. But, the fact of using a mixed grip and tighten the bar, implies that we pass stress and workload on the biceps. And to be able to handle large loads, helps us to evolve rapidly.
