This nextweight lifting routinespost will continue on with the trends set by the last couple of articles talking about workout routines that can be performed without a spotter. Like I’ve been saying, a spotter is a great tool to use because it allows you to work your muscles harder than performing the exercises alone.



However, finding a consistent spotter to help you with any of these free weightlifting routines can be difficult to find. Most weight lifters just rely on themselves and don’t worry about spotters and because of that, they find it much more difficult in getting good results.



The last two weight lifting routines post revealed a solo shoulder and a solo chest routine. The idea with those routines was to adjust some of the common weight lifting exercises most perform so that a spotter isn’t needed without sacrificing safety or results.



This weight lifting routines post will reveal another great solo routine for the biceps. The idea of this workout routine is to utilize a simple method, forced reps. Forced reps is when the targeted muscle is pushed beyond failure with extra reps.



Now, to perform forced reps, a spotter is usually needed however for there is an alternative way. By performing one armed weight lifting exercises for the biceps, you can utilize your off arm as a spotter. In fact, because you will be doing the spotting, you can control how hard to push yourself. Nobody knows your body better than you.



So let me go ahead and reveal the next free weightlifting routine.

Free Weightlifting Routines: Solo Bicep Workout



Barbell Curl:4 x 6-8 reps

One-Arm Preacher Curl:
3 x 8-10 reps


Concentration Hammer Curl:
3 x 10-12 reps



These three weight lifting exercises are all that you need to fully work the biceps. The forced reps approach should only be used for the last two exercises. For the barbell curl, just pick a weight that you can perform 6-8 reps with max effort and good form.



The best way to perform forced reps for this workout routine is that for each set, after reaching muscular failure; perform 2-3 additional reps from assistance of your off-arm. Also with the last two weight lifting exercises that you isolate the muscle. That means keep your elbow still on the pad and on your leg so that only your biceps are lifting the weight.



I’ve already revealed all of these exercises in earlier weight lifting routines posts but if you need a refresher on what these exercises are or how to perform them, then visit the link at the end of this paragraph. Just navigate to the appropriate muscle group and look for the exercise.GO HERE
