How to Get Bigger Biceps (5 Mistakes You’re Probably Making)
When it comes to how to get bigger biceps (and how to get big arms in general), there’s many factors you need to get correct besides just choosing the right biceps exercises. In order to grow your biceps and build the size of your arms, you need to play close attention to how exactly your performing your exercises and how you’re incorporating them into your routine. Take the simple biceps curl for example - it’s a great exercise for adding mass to the biceps but is often done poorly by allowing other muscle groups like the traps, front delts, and forearms to take over. By applying the simple tweaks mentioned in this video, you’ll be able to move a lot of the tension back to the biceps and quickly see the results you’ve been waiting for. Don’t let these biceps mistakes steal your gains!

Hey Jeremy! I have to say that this video of yours is very informative and supported with good scientific evidence. Thanks for pointing out beginner mistakes and supplement it with solutions to correct them too. Truly appreciate this, unlike some other videos riddled with product placements. This is truly GOLD!
I felt a lot of tension in my traps while doing this exercise, and I kept asking people in the gym about it to no avail, but this video is brilliant. Thanks a lot, man

Yes, I make the ROM mistake for sure. Thank you, Jeremy. I need to fix some mistakes. Great video!!!
I honestly felt crazy when I thought my biceps got a better work out when I thought about them while lifting. Glad to know there's actual science to back this up
I follow your lessons and tips here on KZread and since I did, I feel small changes happening. Takes time but I’ll get there! Thank you!
Great video Jeremy! I'm making 2 mistakes: forearm flexion & forward elbow movement. Your tip about squeezing the weight into the body was great! I'm going to use that from now on.
These 5 mistakes i used to make. Now it's just right. Very helpful!👍

The thing I like about this channel is that it doesn’t only show actual proof of why you should do what it tells you to do which is like really rare in fitness channels but this guy isn’t freakin Arnold swartzeneger or how the hell you write it, he’s fit but not like 1% body fat fit, he’s a normal guy, with normal genes and with a big brain that shows you what a normal guy, with normal genes and normal body should do to improve without becoming Arnold swartzeneger (again how the hell you write it). So thank you man cause you’re content is great and it’s super helping me, which is making me help my friends. So thanks and keep up the great work

This is a great Channel. He really knows what he is talking about and does his homework. And gives the most underrated advice compared to other channels. The mind Muscle thing is overlooked too much.
brilliant video, so glad I do these properly. Thank you for this. I see so many people in the gym making so many of these mistakes.
thank you for your video. it's very helpful! Easy to understand, helps me to avoid mistakes during workout.
Thank you very much! You basically answered all my questions about how to get bigger forearms and biceps.
Love how you use academic resources for your methods! Keep it up!
This video has been better than any book, and trainer has ever showed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have always considered my biceps to be the most stubborn, out of all my muscles. But after this tutorial I'm going for the gold.
Thanks a whole lot 4 this my man learned some great tips I truly appreciate it
First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzread.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.
This here should really help. Thanks for the knowledge. Did you ever make a video for forearm growth? I'd love that.
I really like these videos, seeing all the things to avoid and then following through on that next time i'm working out makes me feel like i'm not wasting time
First video of yours, absolutely loved it. Really informative and I liked the way you did a recap at the end. Good job bro

This video helped me out so freaking much, I always felt more tension in my forearm than my bicep and this video taught me why. I tried looking for videos to help and they all just help me not put tension on my shoulders
Great videos with all the info you need in one go. Congrats!!!
As I watch this nursing a pinched nerve in my neck from letting my traps take over with too much dumbbell weight in hand and now after I heal I know how to prevent this injury from happening again, thanks Jeremy Ethier for re-educating/enforcing proper form w/o charging a fortune for the info.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Great video, in general, all your videos are awesome! I am learning from you a lot! Thanks so much
Thank you so much. I love the way you research and include that in your videos. Helps alot
Dude epic since today’s my arm day.
Thanks Jeremy. At a time when the KZread seems to be getting filled with misinformation and disinformation, truly informative videos like yours are a blessing. You have spent a great deal of time studying and researching what you presented. Especially appreciate the article from Physiological Genomics about responders versus non responders. More and more, everything seems to be in the genes.
Loved the video, man. You helped me a lot to understand. You explained everything perfectly. I have been making a lot of those mistakes

I was moving my elbows with the lift as well as twisting my wrist at the top of the contraction. I also had my arms too far out in front of me while doing barbell curls. When i pulled them back further and tucked them in closer to my side as well as doing the above mentioned things, i was able to have a far greater mind muscle connection. I think that connection comes the very instant you actually get a decsent pump in the muscle. Its almost like an "AH-HAA" moment and then you just duplicate the way you did it over and over and WHAAH-LA! Muscle growth!!😊
