Bicep Supination Curls
Turn for Burn

Building muscle is typically a straight forward process – tax the 
muscle with high intensity overload, and the muscle responds with 
growth. But there are some quirks in the process, and one of these 
lies in building of the biceps. The unique manner in which the 
biceps move makes it possible to attack the biceps muscles on two 
fronts instead of just one. You may not have ever recognized it, but
the biceps are more complicated than they seem. The upside is that 
this can allow you to train the biceps in a new and productive 
manner.

Dual Function

The standard biceps stimulation is the straight up and down force 
caused by gravity and a heavy weight. But lifting the arm is not the
sole manner in which to make the biceps muscles jump into action.  
Another way to work the biceps is via the twisting action. You can
check this out for yourself by baring your arms, putting one arm at 
a 90 degree angle to your body, and rotating your wrist all the way 
around. Watch your biceps as you do this. As you rotate your wrist, 
even without lifting the arm up or down, the biceps moves. It jumps 
into action as you turn the wrist.

What this means is that the biceps has a dual function – not only 
lifting, but also turning. Not many muscles can say they can do 
anything similar.  The biceps are one-of-a-kind in nature.  

Working the Other Function
 
You can take advantage of this dual function by working on it as well
as the up and down action. Everyone performs the up and down motion, 
but the guys who work both actions have a decided advantage. This is 
one reason why Arnold Schwarzenegger's biceps looked better than 
anyone else's. He worked both functions. He specifically worked the 
pronation/supination motion of the hands, which in turn worked the 
biceps in their turning function.

So how do you train the biceps in the turning motion? Take a tip from 
Arnold. Arnold used dumbbells to get the right motion. He would start 
with the dumbbell on the floor, and with his hand facing out, palms 
away from the body. As he curled the dumbbell upward he would turn 
the dumbbell by twisting his wrist. He turned the dumbbell around so 
much that at the top of the move the palms were facing the exact 
opposite as they were at the bottom of the curl. This unique exercise
wraps both the raising element and the twisting element into a single 
repetition, and a set makes it happen again and again. Arnold 
performed this twisting curl both from a bent position and a standing
position.

Barbell Style Twist

There are a few unique barbell bars, which are built to allow you to 
twist the wrist as you lift the weight. There are also weight 
machines that allow you to twist as you raise the weight. However, 
the dumbbell is by far the best tool for this type of movement.

Super Concentrated Twist

One huge advantage of the dumbbell twist curl (a good descriptive 
name) is that it allows you to get super deep concentration on one 
bicep muscle at a time, and literally feel the muscles work as they 
twist.  You may not have noticed this going on before, but once you
do you can concentrate on really getting a good strong twist for 
each rep. Watch how the biceps respond. They will swell up 
significantly after a few of these concentrated repetitions.

Once you get into the groove of the twist dumbbell curl your muscles
will learn the neural pathway for this move and subsequent sets will
become ever better. You will be able to zero in with super intensity
and almost will the biceps to emerge larger after each session of 
these challenging curls.

How much of this movement do you need to perform?  Adding a few sets
of the twisting dumbbell curl, or better yet, the twisting dumbbell 
concentration curl, will work great. You can add them to each 
workout, or have a single workout dedicated to just this style of 
moving the weight.
  
Once you start using this method you will probably want to stick with
it as it enhances the appearance of your biceps quite a bit. So start
right away and take your arms to the next level.
