Bicep Workout Without Weights

The best exercises for your biceps don’t even require any fancy equipment. All you need is something to hang from. You can get a great pullup bar for under $ 30, or just go out to a local park and perform pullups and chinups on the monkey bars.

Most people that claim that you can’t get a great workout for your biceps with bodyweight training can’t even perform a single pullup. Go ahead and try to do a pullup. You’ll be surprised at how many muscle groups you’re working at once.

I once did a workout that involved 100 pullups. Actually, I’m sorry to say that I never actually got up to 100 pullups. My body just gave up after around 92. I even took a five hour break to try to pull my body up towards the bar again, but still couldn’t.

I also tried to do a rep right before going to bed. Nope, my muscles were completely fried. When I woke up the next morning, not only was my back sore, but so was were my abs, chest, arms, and shoulders.

And I didn’t even do any pushups or ab work that day!

Pullups are truly a complete upper body and abdominal workout. If you can pump out 10 pullups, then it’s time to move onto more difficult variations. Actually, one variation that is easier than the pullups is the chinups. Pullups are where you grip the bar with a palms facing away from you grip.

Chinups are where you grip the bar with a palms facing towards you grip. This grip actually works the biceps muscle more than the pullups. Both variations are great, and you should probably use both variations in your workouts for a complete bicep workout.
