The Best Science-Based DUMBBELL Biceps Exercises For Size And Shape
If you’ve always faced difficulties in achieving significant bicep growth, you’re in for a treat. In this video, I’ll cover the top 3 bicep exercises for mass you need, so you no longer have to Google for the search term “How to get bigger biceps?" endlessly. And I don't know if I mentioned, these three exercises are biceps dumbbell exercises. Yes - I've read your comments and see that you guys have been requesting for a dumbbell only workout. So, here you go: find out everything you need to know on how to get big arms, with only dumbbells!
The first exercise you need to incorporate into your arms day is the concentration curl (with assistance reps). This exercise tops the list when it comes to short head bicep exercises; this is because of the forward placement of the arms during the curling action. And it tends to outperform other common biceps exercises as well - studies have found that it comes up superior in terms of eliciting the highest biceps activation.
The second exercise I cover is the incline dumbbell curls. Incline dumbbell curls are fantastic when it comes to targeting the growth of the long head bicep. In addition to enhanced long head activation, the incline dumbbell curl also wins out other biceps exercises with its unique strength curve. You’ll find sustained neuromuscular activation of the biceps throughout the movement.
And the last biceps exercise with dumbbells you should know about is the hammer curls (with slow eccentric). The pronated grip of hammer curls enables you to target the brachialis - a muscle in the upper arm that pushes up the biceps. If you want to create the illusion of a thicker-looking arm, you can't go wrong with targeting the brachialis. But: notice how I included slow eccentric movements? Well, that's because you can further enhance the brachialis' involvement through the performance of a controlled eccentric movement.
I hope you enjoyed the video, guys. And just remember like I’ve said in the past, if you want to build muscle and stop wasting your time in the gym, you not only need to choose the right exercises but you also have to perform them in the way that’s been proven to be most effective.
That’s exactly why within my Built With Science programs, we’ve not only carefully selected each and every exercise included in your step-by-step routines, but we’ve also taken the time to create in-depth tutorials for each exercise showing you how to optimally perform them to build muscle.

Just wanted to say thank you so much Jermey for all the info you have given me to better myself bro. I truly appreciate what you have done for me and may others. Tons of love man 💪🏽❤️
The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me kzread.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.
I wanted to thank you, Jeremy, for your videos on biceps. I have learned a lot from you and have the results to prove it. I have been working out longer than you have been alive, and you show that, without doubt, age doesn't matter. Young can learn from old and old can most certainly learn from young. Thank you again. Kevin in Seattle
This video beats the ones from muscle pros. Simple but effective exercises, with all critical points clearly explained. Finally I know what I am doing and my biceps get fatigued with much fewer repetitions with the correct technique shown in this video. Keep the amazing work!

Good to see a good channel grow. Hope it continues to get bigger, this is one of the very few I watch and follow.
Just returned from the gym and although it was my back day, I squeezed in a few sets of incline DB curls. No real reason, other than I was at a bench for DB rows anyway, and they are my favourite bicep exercise! Fun!

The Visuals and statistics are always on point keep up the good work bro my whole workout routine is based on your videos ty
Out of all Bicep exercises i find seated incline dumbell curls pump mine the most, and if your shoulders are properly dropped back have grown my biceps the most since including them. I also love Drop sets

What angle do you put it in
I did all of these workouts, and let me tell you I was always confused as to why I never felt sore after a bicep workout, and I felt the same way after this workout. I still felt strong throughout the day and not weak at all, but the next day!!!! I was so sore I could extend my arms. It’s been about 2 months now and I’ve seen amazing growth. Not a whole lot but a significant amount for what 2 months could offer.

I'm doing 2 out of these 3 so I guess I need to add incline db curl
You’re the best. I am following your ppl program and it’s giving me amazing results. Glad to see a straight to the point no BS video coz this is exactly what I was looking for

That sounds smart
My issue with the incline DB curl is that I tend to feel pressure on my shoulder. And it sometimes hurts when i go heavy.
I started doing the stuff that you said and I'm starting to see a difference already. Thanks
You’re really doing a very good work, sir! This way your viewers will definitely be fully satisfied!!
ive always done my bicep curls with the weird grip on the dumbell being off-set. and my best muscle is my bicep hah makes sense
Love your videos man. The in depth explanations and demos 👌👌
Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Early squad leave a like!
@jeremyethier pls talk on bodyweight squat the right form and how to do them. your videos are very explanatory keep it up man. pls touch on body weight squat
The different hand grip on the concentration curl really made a difference for me, thanks!
Have to get a DB playlist going. We have shoulders and bicep videos. Can’t wait for more of these. Thanks!
Hammer curl works brachioradialis more than brachialis, which you didnt mention during hammer curl. cheers

So what works best for brachialis? Cross body hammer curl?
I’ve gone through a lot of your videos and one thing most of them had in common is that you used a bench. I don’t have one and I don’t know if there’s anything else to substitute it for. I’ve looked through my whole house for something and I can’t think of anything. What should I do?

Thanks Jeremy I had been looking for a video like this for a while :D
Cheers buddy. So useful! Keep up the fantastic work. I would love some tricep DB advice. Thanks

Hi Jeremy, Just to let u know u r one the best coach on youtube.. Keep it up.. if possible please also include a workout plan possible with only dumbells barbell and body weight, bands and best excercises for every muscle
Dude your content is so good. All the science to improve my form. Burns like hell but my gains thank you. Subbed, liked and will recommend.
Amazing thanks for your videos!
Great vid definitely going to use these in my workouts. Thanks bro
Great video Straight up brief to the point & for real. No BS
Thank you so much, since I came across your site you have become personal instructor.
YOUR BEST VIDEO YET (certainly biceps one, for sure). Great visuals, you've really improved here. The timely arrows and corresponding advice adds a lot towards mastery. Haven't seen ANY forearm videos, maybe I missed. I have natural ”Popeye” forearms so I didn't do any forearm work for years. Big mistake. Started losing the ability to grip things and had all kinds of arm pains. Tennis elbow. Saw Lee Priest’s extensive forearm routine which I slimmed down and copied. Within a month all pain was gone and my arms felt right again. I was able to toss the BAND-IT forearm straps. I do wrist curls, especially reverse and hammer curls. 7-8 sets total. Life is good again.
Man! I love your videos, they are extremely helpful and have great quality, congrats to you! :)
This is a very straight forward and excellent video.
Ty so much using these daily now .
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing this content with us!
I like the old school (older videos) music better, but the editing has become amazing. Keep up the good work!
Wow, this was a really helpful video with tips on what not to do and using data. Excellent job!
Informative. Especially over the ‘how-do-details.’
Thanks bro! You are the best tutor so far
Keep your progress bro .. we are watching your videos from all over the world.. Egy salute U ..🇪🇬
Love your videos, thanks for all you do.
I love your content Jeremy!!! Thank you!
Superb video and you’re a superb teacher.
Great video! I'm a tall and slim man with an extremely fast metabolism, my dietitian told me that should focus on complex carbohydrates and only 3 days a week for lifting routines and he told me that I should llift as much as I could instead of focusing on sets. Thanks for the tips!
