BICEPS:
With a standard dumbbell or barbell bicep curl angle your upper body slightly backwards – just a hair! I’ll shift the weight from my toes to my heel if I’m standing and feel my upper body hinge at the hips to lean backwards just ever so slightly. This little tweak seems to target the “meaty” part of the biceps by placing the workload there. You can see this demonstrated in the picture below in a modified V-sit curl. You could also perform this on an incline bench!
TRICEPS:
The tricep muscle is one of the smaller muscle groups, and often acts as a “secondary” muscle in many compound movements, such as the bench press and push ups. Tweak those compound movements to target the triceps, such as by implementing a “close grip.” As you bring your grip closer together, the workload moves from the chest to the triceps. Think of a close grip bench press or a triangle (close stance) push up…major tricep targetting there! As I mentioned above, because the triceps are smaller-sized muscles, it doesn’t take a lot for them to feel overworked, so focus less on heavier weight and more on activating and engaging the muscle effectively through slow, controlled motions.
