A strong bicep can create that defined look in the upper body that many people desire. But what most people don't realize is how important strengthening this area is for reasons beyond aesthetics.

The bicep muscles are important for functional strength that we need to perform everyday tasks that require lifting, pulling and carrying. Incorporating bicep exercises into your workout routine regularly will help you perform these movements with more ease, preventing injuries by improving muscle balance and stability, while also giving your arms a toned and muscular appearance.

As a bonus, exercises that target the biceps often work other muscle groups as well, such as the shoulders and forearms . So, you will get a lot of bang for your buck!
