Biceps Curls with dumbbells

Bicep curls on the gymnastics rings are an effective exercise to train the biceps specifically. The difficulty level depends on the body angle: the more upright you stand, the easier the exercise, as less body weight needs to be moved. In calisthenics, there are only a few exercises that isolate the biceps. Another popular variation is the Pelican Curls.

Barbell biceps curls are a fundamental exercise in strength training, particularly effective for building and strengthening the biceps muscles. This variation allows you to train both arms simultaneously. The ability to use heavier weights compared to dumbbells enables more intense training stimuli, making the barbell biceps curl a popular choice for athletes looking to increase their upper arm size and strength. With alternative exercises like dumbbell biceps curls or biceps curls on gymnastic rings, similar training stimuli can be achieved.

One-Arm Bicep Curls on gymnastics rings are an effective exercise for targeted bicep strengthening. The intensity of the exercise can be adjusted by changing the angle of the upper body: the more horizontal the body position, the greater the load on the biceps, as more body weight has to be lifted. Compared to regular Ring Bicep Curls, the one-arm variation allows for isolated muscle training. This exercise is a great alternative to classic dumbbell bicep curls or barbell bicep curls when only gymnastics rings are available.
