The Big Bad Biceps Challenge

The Challenge: Work those Biceps
The Contenders: Tanya from IntheGym.net and Josie from YumYucky.com, and anyone else who wants to participate.
The Plan: For 5 days (any 5 out of the 7 days of the week), Josie and I will be focusing a little extra attention on toning up our biceps. The details are below, and I'll be following Option A (the gym workout).

First, take a picture of your bicep muscle (flexed), measure it also and take note if it has or lacks definition. At the end of 7 days, take another picture, and lets see if you increased in mass or noticed any improvement in definition. Also can see if the exercises got easier to do or if you moved to heavier weights.

Option A - You Have Gym (or gym equipment at home)

  • 21s - EZ curl bar, 7x halfway up, 7x halfway down, 7x all the way. Without pausing, 25 reps of situps on a decline bench. DO THIS SET 3x. BREAK.
  • Seated bicep curls (start with both arms at top - lower one, bring it back up, lower the next one - so one arm is always at the top) - 12 each arm (or more). Without pausing, 25 reps of leg raises (lift both legs, but if you get tired alternate them). DO THIS SET 3x. BREAK.
  • Regular curls with a straight bar - 12 (or more). Without pausing 25 reps of pull down crunches (behind the neck or an ab machine). DO THIS SET 3x.

OPTION B - Home workout with dumbbells.

  • Seated bicep curls (as in 2nd stage of option A - alternating arms, starting at top bringing one arm down and then up, so that one arm is always at the top). Without pausing, 25 reps of situps. DO THIS SET 3x. BREAK.
  • Seated isolation curls (one arm with elbow against inner thigh, legs open, bring it up and down 12 times). Without pausing do leg lifts (flat on back, legs in the air, hands under butt - push butt up) - do it 25 times or for 1 minute. BREAK.
  • Hammer curls (end of weights face forward and palms face into body or cross-over curls) - 12 (or more). Without pausing, hold the plank position for 60 seconds. DO THIS SET 3x. BREAK.
