Biceps curls -new and improved

Biceps have always been one area that I find incredibly difficult to train properly. Due to all the martial arts I do, my arms are used to recover incredibly quickly, and therefore getting them properly trained with weights has always been a struggle.

However, I learned a handy trick yesterday: Change your grip on dumbbell curls.

Basically grasp the dumbbells so that your little finger touches the weight plates, i.e. you don’t hold the handle at the middle, but rather so that none of the handle is visible below your little finger.

Now perform any normal curls (except hammer curls) with this grip. Simple. But then simple ideas are often the best. My biceps now ache like hell, something they never used to do unless I’ve taken insanely long break on training arms.
