    do not overlook your triceps. your triceps become the foundation for the bicep. pretty hard to have wide biceps with a narrow foundation!

    I don' know what exactly you're looking to find on YouTube. Proper form? If that's the case, that's pretty easy.

    Keep your bicep workout simple at first:

    1 set warmup curls with easy bar. Use a weight that you can comfortably do 20 reps with.

    Now do some stretching, and stretch between each set.

    4 sets ez bar curls. 10/8/6/6
    4 sets seated dumbbell curls. 8/8/6/6

    As for proper form keep your elbows glued to your sides, and don't let them move at all while you are curling. Typically, the negative portion of the rep should be slow and controlled, while the positive portion can be a little faster and more explosive. When doing dumbbell curls, allow your wrists to supinate so that your palms are facing your hips at the end of the movement. This allows for maximum stretch in the bicep. Then, as you begin you positive rep, twist your wrist so your palm faces up. Don't ever swing the weights or let momentum hep your lifts although a little bit of cheating is acceptable if you're trying to squeeze out those last two reps.

    After six weeks of this regimen, you can replace the ez bar curls with preacher curls one weeks, and the seated dumbbell curls with hammer curls the following weeks. These exercises will give you the mass and strength you seek, and definition and peak are things you can worry about later.

    As the previous poster stated, DO NOT be one if those guys who works his bi's but ignores his tri's. It looks totally ridiculous. As a matter of fact, if you're serious about having bigger arms, you should be equally serious about having an overall muscular physique. Big arms look weird with a small chest, just like a huge chest looks weird with small arms and lats. Etc. etc.
