What's up guys, Jeff Cavaliere, Athleanx.com. Today I'm going to show you how to get your
biceps growing again - fast. Okay? But you have to follow along exactly what I'm telling you here,
and I promise you it will work for every single person. Now, there's only two things to blame
when your biceps won't grow and it's not mom and dad. It's the fact that your shoulders
and your forearms are trying to do too much of the work. And what happens is
years of trying to lift heavier than you should on biceps training in an effort to get them to grow,
has actually just been working against you. So, to fix this is going to demand that you
use lightweights. I mean, demand that you use lightweights because you have to to neurologically
reprogram what you've sort of ingrained in a bad way here, which is holding you back.
So, we talked about the delt the problem with the delt is it wants to dominate the curl. And
we know that even shoulder flexion is a component of a fully contracted bicep, but it's not the main
function of the bicep. So, if you rely on that, you start to bring the arm up with you,
that front delt is going to be doing a lot of the work and only the more experienced lifter
who has the ability to do that and still keep the focus on the biceps is really able to handle that.
Instead, you want to make sure you take it out right now. And the way to take it out
is to keep your shoulders steady and stable, one position. You're not going to see this shoulder
move forward at all, okay? I'm going to keep it right down at my side and curl up and up and up
and down, just like that. Now, it leads into the second issue here,
and the second issue is when you're back here, especially, you're losing some of that strength
from the shoulder, so the form is going to want to contribute even more and that's where
it starts to cheat and curl up. And the symptom of this that you can see yourself is the amount
of knuckles that you see when you curl. See, right now, I see these knuckles right here,
right here. But what I don't want to see are those knuckles. And as soon as I see these
knuckles visible to me from this vantage point, I know I've done this incorrectly. At no point do I
want to see that. So, what we do is we dead end wrist, we keep it bent backwards, all right? If
we keep the wrist backwards at the top, your hand is almost facing straight up towards the ceiling
and we know we've got this stationary elbow. When we do that, we've got another benefit here,
it keeps the dumbbell closer to us and we keep the dumbbell closer. We get more of that drag
feel to it in the drag feel is going to be good for the outer head of the bicep, the long head,
which really intensifies that contraction. So, what we start to do is we start to feel a bicep
that we haven't really felt, which is the first step to getting that tension delivered right where
we want it, which is going to get them to start growing fast. Like I said, you'll be shocked, even
with lighter weights, you're getting faster bicep growth. We can take it back to a regular curl
later when we've got that tension where we want it and start to add the weight later, but right now,
we have to reprogram. So, from here we could do it with a bar. The risks are bent backwards, the
elbows stay at the side, come straight up. I don't see those other knuckles at any point in time up.
And again, it's staying relatively close, I'm not arcing the bell you don't want to see much arc,
it's almost coming straight up from here. Okay and I also showed you another way you could do this
was with a dumbbell just by grabbing hold of a dumbbell like this, we call the Waiter Curl. It
reinforces the same thing I grab underneath like this. Obviously, the wrist position is going to
be where we need to be. The arms come as straight as possible down here in front of us. I curl up
until the dumbbell is flat to the ceiling as high as I can go, and I come down. Curl up and down.
And this is a 40-pound dumbbell so it's only 20 in each hand roughly and I can absolutely feel it.
Because, again, I'm not getting any of the contribution of the muscles that are going to jump
into the exercise unwanted because those are the muscles that are holding you back. Remember, guys,
efficiency is what your body craves. These muscles are going to make it more efficient
to curl the weight up, but inefficiency is what you seek when you are trying to force muscle
growth. Make the bicep, do all the work, don't give it the help that it's looking for. If you
