There are so many biceps exercises, but which ones should you be focusing your efforts on if you want to build bigger biceps? In this video, I’m going to give you the most popular bicep exercises ranked from worst to best and help you to determine which ones you should be doing and which you can probably do without.

With that said, we have to lay out the criteria for the biceps exercise selection, which you will find laid out in the video.

Now, let’s break down the ranking categories and see where each bicep exercise sits on the list.

WORST
1. Concentration Curls
2. Reverse Curls
3. Biceps Pushup

The concentration curl kicks off this list in the worst category. Why? Well, the concentration curl is non-athletic version of the curl where you are completely seated and off your feet.

The reverse curl is a great curling movement, but not a great biceps exercise. It comes down to the simple anatomy and bio-mechanics; the reverse curl does not target the biceps, but instead the brachioradialis.

The biceps pushup will always remain at the bottom of the list for me for one simple reason… it doesn’t hit your biceps. At all. You’re better off skipping this one entirely if you want bigger arms.

BETTER
4. Inverted Chin Curls
5. Zottman Curls
6. Preacher Curls
7. Cable Curls

Inverted chin curls are a solid bodyweight option to train your biceps, but can be hard to overload. This can be an issue because the movement will become too easy unless you can start adding weight via a weighted vest.

Zottman curls allow for the biceps to achieve their main function of elbow flexion, but the limiter of this exercise is the lack of eccentric overload on the biceps with eccentric portion being the strongest function of the biceps. By pronating the hands, the eccentric focus goes to the brachioradialis instead.

Preacher curls often give a false sense of security because you are bracing your elbows against the pad, giving the impression that you can handle more weight. Unfortunately, this line of thinking is risky.

Cable curls are great for achieving a good contraction on the biceps at the top of the movement. Unfortunately, at the bottom of the movement, you lose tension on the biceps due to the line force being in direct line with the muscles.

BETTER STILL
8. Spider Curls
9. Drag Curls
10. Cable Flex Curls / Lip Buster Curls
11. Waiter Curls

Spider curls are awesome for developing mind-muscle-connection with the biceps in their peak contracted state. Not only that, but there is a freedom of movement that you don’t find in some other bicep exercises.

Drag curls are the first option on this list to target the long head of the biceps. This is done by getting the elbows back behind the body, which allows for more stretch on the long head of the biceps.

Cable flex curls (also known as the lip buster curl), using a higher anchor point elaborates on the cable curl by getting the shoulder into flexion, an important secondary component of biceps function.

The waiter curl is an awesome option for getting peak contraction of the biceps that is achievable by keeping the wrists back into extension based on the way you have to hold to dumbbell throughout the exercise.

ALMOST BEST
12. Incline DB Curls
13. Chinups
14. Barbell Curls

The incline db curl is an exercise that I consider to be the best for getting the biceps into that all-important stretch position that is not possible with other biceps exercises outside of the drag curl.

Chinups are probably the best bang for your buck bodyweight bicep builders. Another great benefit is the ease of accessibility since it’s just a reliance on a simple pullup bar.

The barbell curl is a versatile biceps movement in that you can load this exercise well, progressively overload it, and perform it strict or in cheat fashion. Both options, strict or cheat, have different benefits but will get you big biceps.

BEST
15. Alternating Standing DB Curls

The alternating standing db curl is ranked number one on this list due to its effectiveness and versatility. You can offset the dumbbell to achieve maximum load under supination, add external rotation to benefit the shoulders at the same time, and even adding bands to accommodate overlapping strength curves.

$1,000 vs $80 Olympic Barbell Strength Test!
Barbell battle: The cheapest vs. most expensive option

💪 CAP Barbell ECO 7-Foot Olympic Bar: https://amzn.to/38M3W4U

The barbell is one of the most important items you’ll buy for your home gym, but does it have to be one of the most expensive? Or is the cheapest barbell just as good?

To find out, we’re buying and testing the cheapest Olympic barbell on Amazon, the CAP Barbell bar ($80), and putting it up against the Eleiko Weightlifting Training Bar ($900).

We’ll answer the question: does a barbell that’s 10 times the cost of an Amazon barbell perform worth the cost, or could you get just as good of a workout at home with the budget option?

Coop, and the rest of the Garage Gym Reviews team, looks to get to the bottom of it.

We’ve set the bar when it comes to fitness equipment reviews, and if you don’t believe us just check out some of our other barbell content.

Sri Lanka is on the brink of bankruptcy. A country of 22 million people once referred to as a ‘Tropical Island Paradise’ is now in a free fall. It has defaulted on all foreign debts. Its access to international financial markets has been cut off. The rupee has gone into a tailspin, and there’s now spiraling inflation. Cities and towns are submerged in darkness for hours, with no fuel to produce electricity. Cooking gas, medicines, milk powder and other essential commodities are all in short supply.

Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and his entire cabinet have resigned amidst protests and violence in the streets. Can veteran politician Ranil Wickremasinghe who has just taken over as the new prime minister steer the country’s sinking ship to safer shores? And how could a nation slide into disaster and chaos so fast?
