Weight Training - Bicep Curls

So you've been working on the Arnold Press and your squats for a couple weeks now; what do you say we add something else into the mix?  The third weight-lifting exercise in my circuit is bicep curls.  You've seen these done before, I'm sure, but for you visual learners I've included a diagram.  Guest star today is my good buddy Dr. Bruce Banner, who is here to prove he doesn't have to get angry to get buff.

The important thing to remember with a bicep curl is not to let your elbow swing back as you are lifting the weight.  Keep your upper arms tightly at your sides so that they are always perpendicular to the floor and move only at your elbow.  This isolation of your bicep muscle makes the exercise more effective.

I like to do 15 reps with 10 lb weights in each hand.  By the end of five circuits you'll feel the burn.  If you need to start with lighter weight and do fewer reps, ain't no shame.  Just make sure you are challenging yourself but not risking injury.
