How To Perform Weight Lifting Curls
For Biceps Development
There are many different types of curls for building your biceps muscles, and by simply varying a simple movement like the dumbbell curl you get a totally different effect from the exercise.
The Biceps Brachii is attached to the forearm bone called the radius and originates at the scapula in two places (the Biceps gets it's name from these two heads - called the short head and the long head).
The Biceps runs down the anterior or front side of the humorous and makes up approximated 1/3 of the muscle mass of the upper arm.
The Biceps are among the most famous muscles in the body. When somebody asks you to "make a muscle", they aren't asking you to flex your hamstrings. They want to see your biceps! 
The primary function of the Biceps muscle is to move the forearm towards the shoulder (elbow flexion).
The secondary function of the Biceps is supination of the forearm. This means turning the hand from a palms-down position to a palms-up position
Below are some examples of weight lifting curls for working different areas of the biceps muscle.
Weight Lifting Curls For MASS Heavy barbell curls 
Muscle size comes from lifting heavy weights. Add extra plates to your curls every week and consistently make gains from the increased weight.
For Length And Lower Thickness
Curls that concentrate on the lower third of the range of motion.
Incline curls to fully stretch the biceps.
Strict preacher curls or curls with an arm blaster, aim for a full stretch.
Weight Lifting Curls For Biceps Height
Concentration curls.
Dumbbell movements which emphasizes on twisting the wrist as you raise the weight up.
Outside Biceps
Curls done inward toward the center of the body such as narrow grip barbell curls or narrow grip preacher curls.
Concentration curls that bring the weight to your chest.
By alternating the hand position on the barbell when performing biceps curls you can change the way the biceps are effected during these weight lifting curls.
Inner Biceps
Standing barbell curls.
Wide grip curls.
Incline dumbbell curls.
As you can see these curling exercises all use the same principle in that the weight is curled upwards. However when you change grip or the way you start or finish the exercise you are actually hitting different areas of the muscle.
Are you neglecting your triceps?
The triceps muscles actually make up 2/3 of the size of your arms. If you want bigger arms you are going to need to put the same if not more effort into your tricep training.
There are 3 truths about training your arms you need to familiarize yourself with if you want a proper understanding of biceps training.
1) Relatively speaking, the biceps and triceps are small muscle groups.
2) The biceps receive heavy stimulation during all basic pulling movements for the back.
3) The triceps receive heavy stimulation during all basic pressing movements for the chest and shoulders
If you want bigger arms then you need to train your triceps also.
