My favorite Bicep exercises for “tank top arms”

These are my top 3 favorite bicep exercises to get rid of that pesky arm fat that my clients call “bat wing arms”! You need to build muscle to get rid of that so make sure to practice progressive overload (more weight over time).

1-Incline Bicep curls

Incline a bench partially and curl up to your shoulders keeping your elbows at your side.

These are very humbling so don’t use weight that’s too heavy where your form fails!

2-Single arm Preacher curls

Find a preacher curl machine and grab a dumbell for this one! Extend your arm fully before using your bicep to curl back up. Another humbling one!

3-EZ bar Bicep curls

Grab a straight bar or a EZ bar for this one. Fully extend your arms before curling back up.

Keep your elbows at your side and avoid using momentum from your body to pull the bar up.

I do 3 sets of 10-12 reps of all of these.

... Read moreAchieving toned arms is a goal for many, and incorporating bicep exercises into your workout routine is key. Beyond just aesthetics, strong biceps support daily activities, from lifting to carrying. Progressive overload is essential; by gradually increasing weights, you stimulate muscle growth and strength development. For optimal results, ensure you maintain correct form throughout each exercise. Consider alternating workout routines to keep your muscles challenged and engaged. Additionally, incorporating full-body workouts can enhance overall fitness, so don't forget to include tricep exercises to build balanced arm strength. Techniques like the hammer curl and skull crushers complement your bicep workouts for a well-rounded approach. Nutrition plays a crucial role in muscle building too. A protein-rich diet will support your workouts, and focusing on hydration is equally important. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water per day to keep your muscles hydrated and promote recovery. Lastly, remember that consistency is key. Sticking to your workout routine while gradually increasing intensity can lead to significant improvements. Track your progress and celebrate small victories to stay motivated on your journey to achieving the arms you desire.
