Everyone wants bigger biceps, but did you know there are actually two heads to the biceps? A ‘short’ head and a ‘long’ head.

We don’t need to get too into anatomy here, but if you want to stimulate your entire bicep and add massive thickness to your arms, you’ll need to include these exercises that target the short head of the biceps.

Here are my top 12 exercises for the best short-head bicep workout:

  1. Single Arm Dumbbell Concentration Curl

  2. Dumbbell Spider Curls

  3. Dumbbell Preacher Curl

  4. Straight Bar Elevated Cable Curl

  5. Hercules Curl

  6. Cable Squatting Bicep Curl

  7. Barbell Curls

  8. Wide Grip EZ Bar Curls

  9. EZ Bar Preacher Curls

  10. Chin Ups

  11. Supinated Lat Pulldowns

  12. Inverted Rows

If you don’t activate your short head bicep properly, you won’t get the biceps you’re shooting for. Check out the full guide to see photos, videos, and walkthroughs for each of them.
