    targeting weak points - outer bicep

    Hey guys, I'd like to improve my outer bicep. By this I mean the part that is visible in a rear double bicep pose. My inner bicep has more roundness and definition, and bulges out to the side more, whereas my outer bicep seems to run flat down the side of my arm when I flex it. I think I need to take a narrower grip on a barbell curl to target outer bi's, is that correct? Are there any other tips for this?

    Thanks bro's,

    You're correct!And I have the same issue.You can bring the outer head up some.Takes time,but it's a genetic thing as well.

    yes a wider grip will bring out the outer head of the bicep. do just the opposite for the inner side. one other great finishing exercise is the bent over db curl. that really develops nice peaks, its done alot for me.

    i think your confused wider grip will work inner bi. narrow grip will work the outer part more

    reverse curls (holding dumbell palms down) will put emphasis on outer bi? Didn't know that.
