How do I get thicker Biceps?

[MickeyKnox]

monkey curls. (not sure what else to call them) this is what has worked for me. EDIT: they are called Alternate Dumbell Curls.

standing in front of mirror holding a dumbbell in each hand. starting with right hand, raise dumbell across your body and end in the position as if your right arm was in a sling. hope i described it correctly.

I think the more common name for this type of curl is concentration curl, and it's primarily for building bicep peak. An even better way to do them is to bend at the waist, let your arm with the dumbell hang down to the floor, then without allowing your elbow to move (some people brace their upper arm against their thigh to prevent movement) raise the dumbell to your opposite shoulder (as you said, like your arm were in a sling). Slowly lower the weight without allowing your elbow to move, and raise again, etc. You can also do it seated with your upper body hunched over.

Oh, and I agree, a mirror is almost as important as weights when it comes to bodybuilding. It's very important for checking your form, keeping it perfect at all time, as well as flexing your muscles in between sets - an important part of every workout, I believe.
