While doing
In-and-Out
Barbell Curl and
using various
grips, you can
ensure complete
and total biceps
development.
Many people just
rep out an
endless string
of curls, but
making small
changes like
this will help
you build full
biceps without
any weak areas.
To begin this
variation, use a
close grip—hands
4-6 inches
apart—on a fixed
barbell to focus
on the outer
head of your
biceps. Bang out
about 6-8 reps.
When you're done
with those reps,
put the barbell
down and switch
to a wide grip.
Your hands
should now be
wider than
shoulder width.
Do 6-8 reps with
a wide grip to
hit the inside
head of your
biceps.

Put the goal in sight
Though the marathon runner may be completely exhausted
from the effort, when the finish line is in view her
pace will quicken. When the goal is in sight, things
change dramatically.
Those who can clearly visualize the goal from the
farthest away are the ones who will surely reach that
goal. When the goal is clearly in sight you are drawn to
it by a force that is nearly unstoppable. You cannot
help but make whatever effort is necessary to reach it.
When the goal is in sight, so is the path which will get
you there. The more precisely you can visualize your
ultimate goal, the more clearly you will understand how
to achieve it.
What are you working to accomplish? Precisely, exactly,
specifically, what is it? What color is it? How does it
feel when you touch it? What does it smell like? How
does it sound? Make it real in your mind. See all the
rich details. Clearly visualize where you're going and
you will find a way to get there.
