Beginners Bicep Workout

BEGINNERS BICEPS WORKOUT WITH DUMBBELLS NUMBER 1
Use the following exercises to help strengthen and develop your biceps muscles. Always warm-up and stretch prior to your workout, aiming to work within your own limits - always focus on working the muscle to be trained - maintain good technique!
The aim of this workout is for beginners to get accustomed to performing a simple selection of biceps exercises. The weight you choose should enable you to perform the desired amount of reps for each set, without losing good technique in the final few reps. If you are able to perform the exercises with ease, you should aim to either increase the weight or perform a few more reps 3 - 5 maximum, in order to achieve the benefits.
