  BEAUTIFUL BICEPS - The simplest and most basic exercise for working the front of your upper arms is the standing bicep curl. It's easy to do, and you can use dumbbells or a body bar. Begin by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Center your body weight evenly between your toes and heels.

 
 
If you're using dumbbells, hold them in each hand with arms hanging at your sides. If you're using a body bar, hold it with arms hanging in front of you gripping it comfortably from underneath so your palms face the ceiling. Tighten your abs as you exhale and slowly bend your elbows lifting the weights towards your shoulders with your palms facing your body.

Keep your elbows close to your body so they are touching your sides, while your wrists should be slightly wider than your elbows and your shoulders relaxed. When you reach the top of the movement, inhale and slowly lower your arms back down and to your sides. Be careful not to swing your arms into the exercise and do not allow the weight to bend your wrists. Do two to three sets of 12 to 15 repetitions each.
