Want bigger arms? Try this

Lee Hayward aka "The Savage Beast" in CT this past weekend and being the
bodybuilder that he is, he gave me a good tip that I want to share with you.
the biceps through a full range of motion and can help add more size, shape and
peak to your biceps.
Now a lot of people already include low pulley cable curls in their workouts,
but the kicker that can really take this exercise to the next level is performing
it facing away from the weight stack as shown in the pictures below...
The advantage of doing the exercise facing away from the weight stack is that
you get a better range of motion. You can step forward and let the cable actually
pre-stretch your biceps at the start of the movement. And because we are using
cables there is constant tension on the muscles at all times, so you also get a good
peak contraction in the bicep muscles right at the top of the lift.
Single arm cable curls are good to do at the end of your bicep workout as a
finishing move (after you've already done your heavier power exercises).
I'd recommend you start with a light warm up set, than up the weight and perform
4 sets of 10-12 reps per arm. Really focus on using strict form and feeling the
bicep muscles stretch and contract with each rep.
