Welcome to week 4 of April Arms! The exercise this week is the Biceps curl, one of my favorites. It’s easy to do and works lots of muscles. Until tonight I thought this exercise was just working my arms but it turns out, if done properly, it can be a total body workout!
(Disclaimer: A professional photographer is not in the blog budget, so you’ll have to excuse the smirk on my face and the blue light from the TV!)
The biceps curl has a few variations, here are a few. This link has more info on form and what muscle groups it works. This video shows proper form.
I use the 5 pound weight at home and 10-12 at the gym.
I try to do the biceps curl at home several times a week when I can’t make it to the gym. I incorporate this into my other arms workouts.
#GoalsCheck Monday!
- Training: going well, had a great 10 miles on Saturday. I have 11 coming up this weekend and 15 in the next few weeks!
- Abs and Core: still trucking along, I’m sore today from doing sit ups on the incline bench
- Weights: I went to the gym yesterday with John and tried out several new machines and the actual bench press, that bar alone is 45 pounds, I’ve definitely got work to do!
- Water and food: not bad considering I was at camp for 3 days this week.
Today is a rest day for me. Did you #EarnYourShower today? Are you meeting your goals or making new ones?
