lol I had to start watching his videos only on off days or morning before to motivate. At night after a workout makes you feel small and like you're wasting time haha....
ikr! just got home fromt he gym just 2 hours ago. i've watched 3 of his videos now and realized i was doing 2 things wrong in hte gym, and wanna go back!
I've never been interested in trying to gain muscle but after battling depression I'm pretty pumped on getting these gains. Thanks for the teaching coach
Same here!! Bottom line: When I look BIG - I (rather) think BIG!!! When I'm strong - I feel strong !! When I get my work out done - I believe in me again, that I'll get shit DONE!! ******** This is it in a nutshell & it really works!! There's a sign above my front door reminding me: "You're just one workout away from a god mood!";-D
because more people train their triceps doing push ups. it's quite normal. the bicep curl is the most popular way to train biceps with the tricep curl it is not.
He just myth-busted the elbows pointed down rule for curls. Thanks for letting us know how to hit the long head of the bicep! You're the best trainer online! EVER!
I've been using dumbbells in my home for years, and tried many times to find a video on proper form and technique; this is everything I've looked for and more. Thank you so much for sharing and being freely informative.
your comments about alternating curls one at a time is absolutely correct, no need to think about stability when doing one arm at a time. Excellent video!
Andy Lange It is not black and white as everything else in life... The guys who say "always do *this* and never do *that* " are biggest retards of all. Everybody is different, everybody's response to the workouts and nutritional plans are different. You have to experience your own what's best for you. Some can over train easily while another portion of individuals can train so much frequant w/o any negative effection. Don't stuck with fucking patterns.
best fitness channel, period. every single Jeff's video is not long, but has the knowledge that you can't learn from watching hours of other bullshit videos. And I have been lifting for more than 7 years. I have much experience and knowledge I still can learn so much from Jeff
Hi Jeff, I just landed your webpage about a week ago. I gotta say, in the first couple of days of watching your videos, you've provided some amazing information where I've notice improvement and movement. I thought I was always working my arms, biceps and triceps, as best I could. You've just showed me how I can do them 100 times better. Thanks for all the info brother, and keep em coming
If you want to get big biceps you're going to have to learn to love the curl! But I can tell you this...you'll get a LOT more out of the exercise if you make these 5 fast fixes. #biceps #bigarms #bigbiceps #workout #beastmode
I saw this video a few months ago. I have incorporated these movements into my workout and my bicepts have blown up! I am curling 55lbs with full range and control. The little adjustments made a huge difference. thanks.
Wish I could like this 50 times. This information has transformed the tension I can create in the Bicep. Let the growth begin!! Thanks Jeff. Can always rely on you for quality information on the detail of technique, and a solid explanation of the reasons why it works. Legend!
I swear dude, during the whole video I did not ever look in your face , my eyes are stick to your guns all the time lol :D Greetings from Germany and keep up the great work here on TH-cam ;D
Alan mentioned below about different size biceps. I have noticeable size difference between my right and left (right actually smaller although it's my dominant). I would love to see a video talking about muscle imbalance and how to work to correct it. Thanks!
I don't quite remember if Jeff has any videos up on this topic, but I know for a fact that Elliot Hulse does. Give it a bit of a search and I'm sure you'll come up with someone credible that can help you out
Rob Winn Anderson Jeff has said a few things on it here and there. All i can remember is he said that's why dumbbells are great. Use dumbbells and load the smaller side heavier then the bigger.
Rob Winn Anderson Yo, i have the same problem, my right hand is stronger and everything but my left arm is in most ways bigger (triceps, biceps) and its not really fat maybe i our stronger arm doesnt get the pump our left gets cuz our right already domains the weight our left struggles with
Rob Winn Anderson The same thing happens to me, it's inevitable. I just suppose that because my left arm is weaker, it works more than my right arm, therefore it grows faster.
I love your videos. I'm a retired Army Veteran who is 100% disabled. I'm am just starting to get back into the gym after many years away. Your videos are a big help in the prevention of injury and building muscle. Thank you very much for all that you do. Ssh Wheeler U.S. Army (Ret)
Hey thanks dude, this helps a lot. I’m a 14 year old girl, and in a few years I’m gonna have big arms like you. I don’t care what other people have to say about it, but if you don’t believe me just watch.
Lauren, can I have your Camila? Since these comments were pretty harsh. You can definitely get some nice muscles but not nearly as close as Jeff or any guy in general and that is simply because men produce more muscle than women. If you wish to follow your dreams as a woman body builder go for it and see how far you can get.
They just shat on u 😂😂😂 not even in a straight up way they were just being honest... but fuck em keep pumpin that shit maam youll reach any goal with the right amount of effort 👍
Hi Jeff. I have been following your videos for months now. I'm not that much into bodybuilding or fitness. Just try to stay in shape. I'm a doctor and I love the way you point out at little things that can improve the benefits of doing one particular exercise. Keep up the good work! 👍
THIS IS SO GREAT! I've been doing everything i could to get my b-ceps bigger, but i never thought to try curling. i can already feel the growth in my arm/b-ceps. Now my dad will respect me.
Holy crap. I've been doing it wrong this entire time. 2 minutes into applying what I learned in this video and my biceps were burning up. You're a health and fitness hero Jeff, thanks!
+Your Gym Trainer thanx for the reply man! and thnc for the advice! i know the basic rules of warm ups but i would like to hear jeffs opinion on the matter and of ourse his analysis! thanx again :)
thanks for everything you are doing for me I used to be 300 lbs now I'm getting in shape and building muscles using you as a major guide. happy to say I'm down to 230lbs now.
I've been doing this for the past 2 weeks using your tips and my biceps have more noticeable results and my arms are feeling huge after a workout. thx Jeff!
Tip i alternate a set starting left hand then a set right hand first then both hands together for 3 sets each = 9 sets total. I find this more challenging.
Man you're amazing, I just tried these curls and I felt the difference and how strong and affective it is. Following your instructions from now on. Super like for you.
Thanks Jeff Cavaliere for assisting me in getting back into lifting and critiquing my form. Pretty sure i watched every video and im a better lifter for it... Again thank you
I have a BIG PROBLEM (if I can say that) Everytime I do biceps, my forearm tends to take over and I feel it doing the work until it sort of burns back until my elbow I wont feel the biceps in any way Any of you guys have the same experience or a fix to it? Doesnt matter what I try, I always feel it right in my elbow
Jonathan Tran I found the key to my problems, I just switched back to a cable machine and it worked wonders Back then I never liked them and never felt good doing them, but now its all fine weird haha
He talks about this alot in his program, but use a false grip if possible. Don't squeeze your hand, as that will activate the forearm more try to keep your grip a little more relaxed and make sure your wrist is not bent toward your bicep. If your wrist is completely straight or even bent away slightly, then the forearm will be disengaged, and you can use your bicep more.
Another way to think about it is you are not actually gripping per se, you are balancing. This will free your mind from feeling like you have to squeeze super hard. I am a pianist and dealt with alot of pain and tendonitis in the forearms, and this simple trick helped SO MUCH. Even in every day things you'd be surprised, when lifting a heavy box most people automatically squeeze too much, when really it's about balance. Of course, if you have elbow pain make sure to rest fully before restarting workouts, rest is the only way to fully recover. May take you a week or more.
Jeff I got lots of suggestions please take a look at them ! A video about how to deal with stubborn traps would be good. ATHLEAN-X™ Also some experts say Bench Press is not optimum for muscle building what is your take on that ? How many days a week is it good to train if you are training fullbody workouts ? Do you prefer fullbody workouts or split routines ? These are all good topics would be more than happy to see a video about them , thanks for your work Jeff Sincerely your loyal fan
Swolbraham Lincoln I know I'm not Jeff, but in general, full body workouts are not ideal. If you can do routines more focused on specific muscles, you'll likely get better results. Full body routines are only the most efficient if you have for example only 3 days to train in the gym,
+Swolbraham Lincoln Hey man, I can lift crazy heavy but my arms just don't increase in size except when I'm actually working out. I'm almost 16. What should I do to get bigger arms the day after I workout?
Hi! Just wanted to let you know you deserved my subscription. I can tell your physical therapy background really helps you give people an actual reason to do exercises or don't do them. I stopped doing the upright barbell row for shoulders, never experienced pain again. BIG change in my shoulder growth! :) Thanks!
And the MOST important thing about getting BIGGER biceps is to wear a t shirt so you can roll it all the way up and underneath your armpit to make your biceps bulge out even more =D
Keep up the good work Jeff. Your instructional videos are the best....The trolls that say negative things are just jealous haters... I plan on buying your training program as a present for my 34 year old son who is a dedicated athlete yourself and he has a similar build like yours. Thanks
I’m a new subscriber and getting to this about 3 yrs late. Doesn’t sound important but I don’t subscribe to anyone outside of Joe Rogan..lol..Point is I’ve been working out my whole life and watching your videos has brought me to another level. Even the smallest techniques you go over are great reminders of things I’ve pushed to the side over the years and have corrected since. Anyway I appreciate the videos and attention to detail..
Why is ScottHermanFitness saying not to supinate or curl your wrists as you are doing a curl? And then you say yes to do that. I have more trust in you Jeff for sure. He says it takes away from the bicep curl. Like half the time you are doing a hammer curl, and the other half of the time you are doing a basic curl.
Bicep does 2 things: supinate your forearm and flex your elbow joint or in other words bring your wrist to shoulders....so, i think you put greater load on bicep this way=all kinds of gains....all kinds....
Glad I watched till end. I didn't know what I was doing wrong when I curled. then I watched this and found out I was shortening my range of motion. thanks Jeff!!
Good tips, thanks! I think I'm gonna stop doing seated curls and do standing rotation instead. I still finish off with barbell curls till failure, I love them, you can really feel your strength and your whole arms pumping they're lush.
I was just going through the motions with my bicep curls and my mind was on autopilot. This really opened my eyes to new methods that I can't wait to try. Awesome video!
Jeff, I am loving your channel because like you I am a DPT/ATC and I agree with your videos 100%. Keep putting out the good videos because when folks at the gym come ask me for advice I tell them a lot of the same things you are saying man. I just wish I had the will power to eat correctly to get the ripped look.
Summary
1- turn wrist as you curl, not before
2- hold dumbell so hand is at one side (don't hold it in the middle)
3- lower Db slowly
4- for beginners, you don't have to curl both arms at the same time (alternate)
5- lift dbs to lip level
Can i bring you to every video i watch?
(Xandr) 5- Lift to nose level. Just one more inch, sometimes it matters.

Everytime I do biceps, my forearm tends to take over and I feel it doing the work until it sort of burns back until my elbow
I wont feel the biceps in any way
Any of you guys have the same experience or a fix to it?
Doesnt matter what I try, I always feel it right in my elbow
Have you tried relaxing your wrist while curling? May put off less pressure on forearms and more on biceps.
Grip it stronger and make sure you're giving the Bicep at least 3 days rest, probably 4

I stopped doing the upright barbell row for shoulders, never experienced pain again. BIG change in my shoulder growth! :) Thanks!
wow thanks heaps. You're a technician mate. I'm so grateful to understand body mechanics from you
Maybe you can do one for Triceps?!?!
Thank you very much !!!
Jeff's biceps are bigger than my face
Great lesson Jeff! There's something about the way you teach that makes facts that I should already know suddenly crystallize into a eureka moment.
Amazing! every Video Jeff pumps out shows a fresh new way to train... Best Trainer Online!
WTF!? 50 lbs curls. damn.
15
Ikr
+Skengman Bobby 50
he had 15s in the beginning for explanations. The adjustables at the end were 50s. So everyone is correct. and wrong. Not that it matters much. lol
@david p that's very profound dude.. everybody is correct and wrong.. the truth about truth..
And the MOST important thing about getting BIGGER biceps is to wear a t shirt
so you can roll it all the way up and underneath your armpit to make your biceps bulge out even more =D
Bruh 😂
I dont make any of these mistakes, but whenever I workout my biceps I feel like I'm missing something.
me too
You're missing the pp
Keep up the good work Jeff. Your instructional videos are the best....The trolls that say negative things are just jealous haters... I plan on buying your training program as a present for my 34 year old son who is a dedicated athlete yourself and he has a similar build like yours. Thanks
This guy is very good. Very helpful video, especially on turning the wrists and dumbbells to early.
with someone with massive biceps like this you''ve got to believe what he is saying.
Am I the only one who's going OCD over that crooked line in the brick wallpaper? Lol
Lol just noticed that now
Gotta confuse the eyes to confuse the body? Right ba.. You know?
I was more concerned that he did one curl less with his left arm
Ur probably mason then 😂😂
Where??
Jezus fuck, his biceps are huge
Halle Balle nine
Wouw did u realy say nine??? LMAOOO
-NEIN!
I’m a new subscriber and getting to this about 3 yrs late. Doesn’t sound important but I don’t subscribe to anyone outside of Joe Rogan..lol..Point is I’ve been working out my whole life and watching your videos has brought me to another level. Even the smallest techniques you go over are great reminders of things I’ve pushed to the side over the years and have corrected since. Anyway I appreciate the videos and attention to detail..
great video... I was doing everything else except raising the elbows up... definitely will try that today...
Why is ScottHermanFitness saying not to supinate or curl your wrists as you are doing a curl? And then you say yes to do that. I have more trust in you Jeff for sure. He says it takes away from the bicep curl. Like half the time you are doing a hammer curl, and the other half of the time you are doing a basic curl.
Bicep does 2 things: supinate your forearm and flex your elbow joint or in other words bring your wrist to shoulders....so, i think you put greater load on bicep this way=all kinds of gains....all kinds....
Justin Stuart so what are you saying? Jeff or Scott?

Curling 15kg like it's nothing 😂
ddl lawless Keep lying kid, you are legit subscribed to a Minecraft TH-camr
+William Alder Hes saying that hes impressed that he can curl 15 like nothin, admiring him. No other context
William Alder you are a fucking idiot. Lmao
William Alder Dumbass
They're 15lbs, not kgs. That's about 6-7 kgs.
By far one of the bests in TH-cam!
Glad I watched till end. I didn't know what I was doing wrong when I curled. then I watched this and found out I was shortening my range of motion. thanks Jeff!!
Good tips, thanks! I think I'm gonna stop doing seated curls and do standing rotation instead. I still finish off with barbell curls till failure, I love them, you can really feel your strength and your whole arms pumping they're lush.
I was just going through the motions with my bicep curls and my mind was on autopilot. This really opened my eyes to new methods that I can't wait to try. Awesome video!
Learn something new each time from this channel. Thanks Jeff 😎
Jeff, it's really great what you do and how you present it. I have no doubt that you're really helping so many people out there. Thanks, man.
You just fixed my bicep curl exercise - keep on helping us Jeff ...
Jeff, I am loving your channel because like you I am a DPT/ATC and I agree with your videos 100%. Keep putting out the good videos because when folks at the gym come ask me for advice I tell them a lot of the same things you are saying man. I just wish I had the will power to eat correctly to get the ripped look.
Your speech is flawless man. How did you become so well spoken?
Definitely the most educational body building chanel on TH-cam
Cheers for the tips, I was making a few of these and missing opportunities. Will apply your techniques to my next work out, thanks buddy.
how could anyone tab thumbs down...wtf!!!!!! this is so helpful i see these mistakes maked all the time at the gym....and I am one of them.
