EOTW!

If there is 1 group of muscles more synonymous with muscles and fitness it's the biceps!
Show us your guns!
Look at the pythons!
But it is also one of the easiest to underwork as well as one of the easiest to push further then the other muscles.
Because you have been using this muscle more dominantly one side for your whole life you may notice one arm bigger or more defined than the other. This exercise will help correct that, incline dumbbell curls.

1. Set an incline bench to 45 degrees and lie on the bench face up with weights in hands.
2. Drop arms to sides beside the bench letting the weights hang your arms straight.
3. Keeping your upper arm relatively still use bicep strength to pull the weights up to chest level, rotate the weights slightly as you come up.
4. Lower the weights and start again.

As the work out progresses you should find your non dominant arm become harder to use in this motion. Persist and don't increase the weights in this exercise till your non dominant arm catches up.

Try and perform each raise simultaneously left and right.
Don't swing your arms and concentrate on the use of the bi's the get the movement happening.
Don't feel bad if you have to drop the weight a bit from what your used to for a barbell or machine bicep work out, the nature of free weights stops one arm from compensating for the other.
So go on and make it an even playing field for your body!
Your not working out till your BLEEDING! sweat Sunday carnage…
