Perfect your biceps.

Building the ultimate body is all a science experiment. At the end of the day it’s all about finding the perfect combination of exercises, diet, determination, and self control. Every individual has their own genetic make up. Certain bodybuilders are effected by certain exercises in different ways. While a great deal of the classic exercises will do the trick for the most part, changing up the routine certainly doesn’t hurt the situation. For instance, to develop the biceps most people just stick to the basics and perform traditional curls. A tried and true exercise to say the least. But sometimes challenging your muscles is more important than just performing the motion.

So what can be done to challenge the biceps for additional growth? Work in a new exercise, dummy.

With so many exercises to choose from, it can become a daunting task to figure out exactly which one to add to your routine. It’s all about trial and error, but who wants to go through all that crap? Instead, the GI Team is going to hook you up.

The guillotine curl.

This exercise challenges the bicep muscles. Doing the usual bicep curls means tension diminishes at the top of the lift when the weight is lifted from the bottom position at your side up until reaching the chest. The guillotine curl requires the individual to lie flat on a bench, utilizing the cable curl with the straight bar attachment, and curling it down towards your face. The tension increases when the cable pulls down towards the body. Holding onto that tension for a couple of seconds will give your biceps a wicked burn. Bodybuilding is all about growing muscle and sometimes that means challenging yourself for new gains. Take a look at the video below to get a clear picture of the movement.
