Article of the Week: Bicep Blasting Part 2
As we stated on our last blog when isolating biceps from different angles you get many benefits. A great Parrillo bicep workout to shape, tone and build size on those arms will go as follows. Instead of doing regular “gym rat” curls, loading the weight up swinging with your hips using momentum only to force the weight up with your delts, try using the Parrillo version of peak curls. This is when you slide the bar or dumbbells up the front of your body just to your lower pec line. If you come up any more than that the front delt is engaged. Next 
exercise is a preacher curl which can be performed with a barbell, dumbbell or cable handle attachment to a weight stack. Take the bar and place your upper arms against the upper end of the preacher curl bench. At the top of the exercise, pull your elbows together and don’t give your biceps a chance to rest. Next move onto Dumbbell hammer curls which is performed the same way as a dumbbell regular curl with the exception of the hands, your palms should be facing each other. Again make sure you keep the elbows stationary and use your opposing muscle to lower the weight, you will fill this in the outer portion of the biceps.
To finish off your bicep workout try doing standing cable curls to exhaustion so that you can build cardiovascular density, it will feel incredible. Repetitions will vary depending on what you are trying to accomplish, I would recommend having a wide variety of rep ranges. Low end of reps being 10 and high end of reps being 30, the number of sets you do will vary because of nutrition. Remember our Parrillo principles and always match your nutrition to your training and not your training to your nutrition. We look forward to you participating on the Zone!!!
