Do curls from a number of different angles and clasp types to really get the very best out of the arm workout. Here's the best way to use arm position and clasp to construct bigger arms that'll look amazing from every viewpoint

Standing Barbell Curl
With your upper arms locked in place at your own sides, the basic barbell curl hits both heads of the biceps brachii reasonably evenly. It is a good move to do first in your workout since you can go pretty heavy with it.
Watch Out
This reduces tension on the biceps, however, and turns a move into a multijoint one.
Fine Tune
Move your hands slightly closer together to put more emphasis on the long head (the shoulders become internally rotated). Move your hands farther apart to shift the focus to the short head to a greater amount.
Incline Dumbbell Curl
Lying back against an incline bench set at about 60 degrees, your arms hang straight down and your elbows fall behind the plane of your body. This curl places a great number of tension in the long head of the biceps. As that muscle gets stretched, it's made to work much harder in relation to the short head.
Watch Out
Ensure you maintain your upper arms back. Don't pull your elbows forward in an attempt to improve the weight higher, as this may again take stress off the long head.
FineTune
Preacher Curl
Watch Out
Fine Tune
Don't let your elbows flare out; keep them aligned with your wrists and shoulders.
Reverse EZBar Curl
Thus far you've used an underhand grip. This overhand-grip move calls the other important arm flexors into play.
Watch Out
Do this exercise for that brachialis and brachioradialis last because it'll weaken your grip strength on all following moves.
Fine-Tune
Try this about the cable having an EZ bar and do drop sets, cutting back the weight by way of an individual plate any time you reach failure.
Bonus Workout: Hammer Curl
Go neutral: Between the underhand and overhand grips may be the grip (hammer style). Hammer curls also work the brachialis along with the biceps long head.
All-Angle Biceps Blaster Workout
Incline Dumbbell Curl 3 Sets x 8-10, 8-10, 8-10 Reps
Preacher Curl 2 Sets x 10, 10 Reps
Reverse EZ-Bar Curl 3 Sets x 10-12, 10 12, 10 12 Reps
* Doesn't include warm up sets; do as many when you desire but never take warm-up sets to muscle failure.
So you reach muscle failure by the target rep * Choose a weight.
* Alternate sets together with your hands well outside and just inside shoulder width.
