My Biceps are Tall and Narrow

[Tryin to Grow a Chin]

How can I widen them? They're solid and have nice peaks but they're too narrow.

I think its either because you have long arms and your bicep is small or because you dont rotate your wrist when you do biceps.

If you do it with dumbells, then do it with 3 different motions, each time a new one.

• Palm facing downward
• Palm facing horizon
• Palm looking up

This way all you are gonna load different parts of the bicep and it will widen.

That's what I can think of

Preacher curls, and get good stretch at the bottom of the rep.

I have a similar problem. I'm wondering if slender arms are a genetic thing. Just as endomorphs will most likely never have shredded abs.

I have nice peaks too, but from the front my arms look skinny. Is it still possible to make em bulkier? I don't.

Quick amurature question about bicep curls.......right now, I'm

using a a two handed grip with a bench press bar to curl the weight.

I've seen other shorter bars were the grips sections are raised to

give you better leverage.

If I buy the proper one, how big of a difference will it make?? Are there any advantages. So far everything is cool.

Thanks!

ok two things, first:

Tryin to Grow a Chin, i have the same kind of biceps, its what body builders all look for, unfortunately for me i HATE body building but doing it in the three different ways Vronski explained might help you.

it's really a genetic thing though.


and second:

djmanagement, those bars are called EZ bars. the crooked part is not for better leverage but for hitting the biceps better when doing the standing barbell curl, because your hands are slightly on an angle rather than flat, holding the bar.
