My biceps embarrass me.
I’ve neglected my biceps for a long time only because I was focusing on improving strength in exercises like these.
…but I had to be honest with myself and realize that if I want to build a visually-appealing body with a nice balance of strength and size then I had to put in the work.
So I did some research on how to make biceps I could be proud of by putting more emphasis without hardly having to commit a ton more time in each workout.
Now you know whatever you add to your student workout WILL make it a little longer, but there are always a few tricks to add more exercises and volume while minimizing additional workout time.
Well the trick I have for you today allows you to build your biceps quicker without having to add really any time at all.

For a very long time, I’ve had biceps that were nothing special.
In fact, if you took a look at me without seeing me do a deadlift (my best exercise) you’d probably ask if I even lift.
And I completely understand why.
When you start your muscle-building journey, the priority of your student workout should be to get stronger in the main compound movements like:
- Bench press
- Squats
- Deadlift
- Overhead press
You can see the rest of them in this post I made here.
These kinds of exercises are awesome at building full body strength in multiple muscle groups at the same time.
It’s a very efficient way of working out.
But if you want to emphasize a specific area (like your biceps), you have to isolate it.
That’s why you see your friends in the gym doing:
- Bicep curls
- Hammer curls
- Barbell curls
- Spider curls
- Preacher curls
- Isolation curls
You didn’t realize there were so many curl variations did you? Lol
But what sucks about adding these lifts (like bicep isolation exercises for example) to your workout is that it adds maybe 1-2 minutes to actually perform the exercise and another 2-3 minutes in rest time.
That’s per exercise.
So every time you add another exercise, you workout gets a little longer.
Well, after some research I found a neat like “trick” that’s allowed me to increase the effectiveness of my biceps curls training without hardly adding any time at all.
This isn’t your typical “best bicep dumbbell exercises” video.
