Could This Be The Solution For Skinny Biceps?

Have you tried everything short of sacrificing live chickens to get your biceps to grow?

Well, no need for for the mojo brotha...give my 2-step "Bicep-Shocker" a try in your next arm workout.

Here's how it works...

1. For this exercise, we're going to use the Dumbbell Hammer Curl since it has a great reputation for adding more mass to the "belly" of your biceps

2. With a dumbbell in each hand and palms facing in toward your body, quickly "curl" one weight at a time until the dumbbell touches your shoulder, trying to get your forearm as close to your bicep as possible for a good "squeeeeeeeze".

3. Slowly lower the weight to full extension at the "bottom" position.

4. Aim for hitting musclular failure at around 8 repetitions (only working one arm at a time).

5. After your last rep, use your body momentum to "cheat" the dumbbell back up to the "top" position.

6. Try to fight the weight all the way down (the "negative" phase of the repetition) for this last repetition and aim for a 30-60 SECOND descent!

That's right...30-60 SECONDS!

Why it works:
This "Super Negative" is a "Type 2" muscle fiber blaster...the most overlooked fiber type for guys with "skinny arms".

By stimulating your "2's", you'll stimulate more growth by shocking your bi's with a new approach that will give them no choice but to GROW!

Give this one a try...and try not to curse me too much the next day when you can't raise your arms to wash your hair!
