I am a former fitness physique competitor with over 20 years of intense experience in strength training, weight lifting and body transformation. Building your biceps takes patience and discipline. Don’t slack off in your workouts, work hard,give your muscles the nutrition and rest that they need. It won’t be too long before you notice your biceps grow and trust me, when they do, it’s very satisfying.
While making a fist with your palms, extend down your arms right in front of the chest. After coming back to your original position, get one of your arm to lift up the ground and get your hand extended towards the ceiling. Start by standing upright in a way that your feet are as wide as your whole body and arms are lurking at sides of your body. Now while holding any office object in your hand and your palm facing against your body, keep your arm stretched down to your one side.
How To Build Biceps Without Weights
The biceps are made of two muscle heads that lie between the shoulder and the elbow. It is worth mentioning that the biceps only make up a third of the upper-arm muscles. There is also the triceps which are larger and occupy the rest of the two-thirds. If you are serious about growing your biceps, I recommend you get the ultimate muscle building cookbook. It has more than 200 high protein recipes that are super easy to prepare.
Get your hands together with such that your hand thumbs and forefingers make a triangle. Now, turn to your back by firmly fixating your one of the free arms on the ground just on the opposite side just behind you. Start with your feet being kept as wide as your body and your back kept upright and still.
Make your workouts progressive
For example, holding the long part of the vacuum cleaner with a neutral grip will work your brachialis and brachioradialis in addition to your biceps. Squeeze your biceps forcefully at the top of the rep and then lower your torso under control until your elbows are locked out. While many people perform this drill by hanging underneath a barbell, you can perform it on any sturdy object such as a table, bed frame, or playground equipment. Curl the bottles toward your shoulders by flexing your biceps. So, for every biceps exercise you do, make sure you do one for your triceps, too. Paint pots and buckets with handles are great substitutes for dumbbells.
Avoid performing the exercise too deeply, only go down as far as is comfortable without a stretch in the shoulders. Hyperextending the shoulders can lead to injury. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold the handles of the cable machine with your palms facing each other.
The 8 best bodyweight arm exercises
They are affordable and easy to use, and you can do them anywhere. You can also target other muscle groups in your arms and upper body. Another great reason to use resistance bands in bicep exercises is that they are easy to store and travel with. You can easily take them with you wherever you go. There are very few strength training exercises that you can’t replicate with a suspension trainer, such as a TRX or similar.
They’re ideal for home use and perfect for traveling, too. The towel bicep curls have different variations depending on how you like it. Apart from trying it against the wall, you can also try the work out while laying down. You can still perform this workout at the comfort of your home and blast your muscles just as much. Your bicep muscles become fully activated when you are flexing the arm.
How To Get Bigger Biceps at Home Without Weights ASAP
Push-ups help you focus on your arms, abs and your lower body, all at the same time. They train your muscles to work together and become stronger. Push-ups primarily work your pectoral muscles, strengthening your chest. Push ups increase the size and strength of your deltoid muscles, making your shoulders appear wider. This routine is a little more advanced and requires more of a warmup.
Your head, upper back, and tailbone should be in contact with the wall. Stand with your arms at your sides and your palms facing inward toward your hips. The brachialis is a strong elbow flexor that spans from the middle of your upper arm to just below the elbow and plays a major role in flexing your elbow. This classic muscle is responsible for flexing the elbow and externally rotating your hand and forearm. Training your biceps is easy, and it can be done in a relatively short amount of time. Now, while involving your upper back, open your arms out wide enough to get them elevated to your shoulder height.
Lift your upper body upwards and if you feel a slight burn, then its working and keep repeating. The sideling bicep curl is another one of my travel favourites. I superset these with diamond push ups for countless sets and I get ridiculously sore the next day. Sometimes it’s good to break away from your rigid workout routine, blast your favourite work out mix and just bang out hundreds of reps on bodyweight exercises.
That’s how little space this exercise requires. Performing a bicep workout without weights is easy if you have a backpack and some heavy books or groceries. I like to fill my bag with heavy hardbacks and potatoes, but you can literally use anything for resistance (even sand if it’s an old backpack). All of these muscle-building movements make use of simple household objects and your bodyweight to blast your biceps.
