Hi all,
I desperately need help with some Bicep (long head) exercises.
I would be very gratefull if some of you could suggest a few good ones to really build up that side of the arm, as my short head of my biceps seem to be bigger than the long heads!
Thanks.

Don try to isolate certain heads. Stick to heavy barbell curls and maybe try sing different grip widths.

Incline Dumbbell Curls
A very simple and common movement, yet many trainees fail to do it correctly. Too bad, because this is the most effective exercise for isolating the long head of the biceps. The incline position allows the elbows to be drawn back, away from the body, thus recruiting the long head.

Not the long head!
when i flex my bicep in the same position as when i do wide-grip curls, with my other hand i can physically feel the outer head being flexed much harder than the inner (short) head. and vice versa for close-grip.
perhaps it's just me. it doesn't seem logical to me for it to work the way you've stated...plus, why are you asking a question to which you already know, or believe you know, the answer?Last edited by Wanker527; 04-10-2004 at 03:00 PM.

i would recommend wide-grip (just outside shoulder-width) straight barbell curls and incline dumbbell curls.
