Build Huge Biceps on the Preacher Curl Bench
Larry Scott was the first Mr. Olympia. He was 5' 8" tall and he had 20" arms. Today there are hundreds, maybe thousands of bodybuilders that have 20" arms. But this was in 1965. There were a few other guys like Dave Draper and Arnold that had 21" arms, but they were over 6' tall. Larry Scott was only 5' 8" tall. To have arms this size for someone of his height was considered incredible.

Why am I mentioning Larry Scott? Because he practically lived on the Preacher Bench. In fact at Vince's Gym in North Hollywood where Larry worked out, they didn't call it the Preacher Bench, they called it the Scott Bench. Larry Scott is responsible for making the Preacher Curl Bench one of the most popular pieces of bodybuilding equipment. Here is one of his biceps workouts:

Preacher Bench Barbell Curl
Superset with:
Preacher Bench Dumbbell Curl

After you warm up, use a weight on the barbell curls that you can perform 6 to 8 reps with. Have your training partner help you with the last rep if necessary. After your last rep, lower the bar down about half way and perform 4 to 6 half reps or burns. Set the barbell down and without resting, pick up the dumbbells and continue to do 6 to 8 reps followed by 4 to 6 burns. Do 3 or 4 of these supersets and your arms will be totally pumped. Now get ready for the next exercise.

Preacher Bench Reverse Curl

Use an E-Z curl bar for these and do 3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12 reps followed by 3 or 4 burns at the end of each set. Finish the biceps routine with 4 or 5 sets of Wrist Curls off of the end of a bench. You can do these two exercises in a superset if you want to.

Do this routine 2 days a week for 6 to 8 weeks and your arms will grow! Also make sure that you take the proper supplements. If you want to get a massive arm pump, try taking a Pre Workout Supplement before you workout followed by a Protein Supplement or a Meal Replacement Supplement immediately after your workout. You should also take a good Multi Vitamin Mineral Supplement.
