5 Arm-Smacking Exercises to Pump Your Biceps

#4 Chin-Ups

The chin-up is one of the best bodyweight exercises that not only targets the biceps but also activates the deltoids and the pectoral muscles. Moreover, with its simple motion, the exercise is ideal for even beginners and casual trainers.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight beneath a pull-up bar with your feet placed shoulder-width apart. Secure the bar with a medium grip such that the palms are facing towards the body.

Step 2: Slowly raise yourself until the chin is just above the bar. Keep the torso straight while performing this motion.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the starting position. Do not let the feet touch the floor throughout the duration of the exercise. Also, ensure that the elbows are close to the body while performing the chin-ups.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Perform the exercise while wearing a weighted vest for added resistance and improved customisability.
