How was your week? I got two good weekday morning weight sessions in, then another Saturday. Here is a superset for biceps I thought others might want to try: "front raises with a curled bar" supersetted with "dumbell hammer curls." For the front raises, hold a curled bar at a weight you can manage (I use the lightest), arms down, bar in front of your thighs, palms facing toward you. Choose a comfortable hand position and slowly raise the bar up - your palms always remain downward. Do your reps, than take a dumbell in each hand and stand with them at your side. Hold them so your thumbs face forward. Keeping your hands in this position, raise and lower, keeping a good contraction. It will look like you're hammering a nail, hence "hammer curls." After your reps, rest and go back to the front raises. Beginners: a "superset" means you combine two exercises, rather than doing your 2 to 3 sets of one exercise. It's a good way to spice up your workouts. How did all you iron pumpers do in the past week?
