Bicep Exercises
Biceps bend your elbow and turn your palm up. Curls are the direct work, and every row, pull-up and pulldown trains them too.
Pick a weight you can curl for 10 controlled reps without your elbows swinging forward or your torso rocking. 10 or 15 lb dumbbells, or the empty EZ bar, is where most people should start.
