New exercises to switch things up on bicep day

A kettlebell is effective for hammer curls as it ensures your bicep is taking the load

There is a lot of innovation across the big muscle exercises, with options aplenty when it comes to back and chest and legs. Exercising the biceps, however, can become a bit of a chore and a bore. This is primarily because of the same repetitive movement of bringing weight from the side of the hips, to flexing, and bringing it all the way up, and then heading down. Add to that strictures like not swinging, keeping the back straight, and making sure the full range of motion is met, and by the time one is on the third set, your bicep workout is already monotonous.
