I'm starting to weight lift, any advice for bicep work outs?

Answer 1

Standing bicep curl with a bar-bell weight. Start with feet apart, barbell grasped in hands. Slowly bend elbows as you raise the bell to chest level. Then slowly lower.
The key to the bicep curl is weight control. If you can't control the weight through the whole bicep curl, you may be lifting too heavy or too many reps. Don't swing the weight up, or arch your back at the top of the bicep curl. This is cheating!
To hit your bicep muscles extra hard, try limiting the range of motion slightly at the top and bottom of the bicep curl. This will keep your bicep tense through the whole set and won't give it a chance to "rest" at the top and bottom of the movement. Do sets of ten. Repeat, when it becomes too hard switch to another lift.
Overhead Press/Flex- Using hand weights in one hand, raise weight and bend elbow until the elbow is up and weight is behind the head. Press the weight up until arm is straight, then lower behind head. Do 10, change and repeat. Again, slow and controlled.

Answer 2

Do 21s. Use a barbell. Start with your arms by your sides and raise the barbell until your forarms are parallel to the floor. Do 7 of these. Then raise the barbell so that it is underneath your chin. Lower the barbell until your forearms are parallel to the floor. Do 7 of these. These are called half curls. Then do 7 fulls curls starting with your arms by your sides and finishing with the barbell beneath your chin. You should aim for three sets of 21. Start with a 10 - 15kg barbell and work up from their. The barbell is more stable and easier to use than the dumbells when you are starting weight training. Complete each exercise slowly and try to do the eccentric phase of each curl in a very slow controlled motion.

I started out on dumbells.
