Do you want to take your biceps workout to a new level? Learn how to get 24

Do you want to take your biceps workout to a new level? Try this exercise and feel your biceps explode into new growth.

Note: A video is down below.

Start out with a 20 lb. barbell (or whatever weight works for you).
Perform 8 strict reps of standing barbell curls. Strict means no leaning back or forward, no moving your elbows, and no "swinging" the weight up. Use your biceps only to do the exercise!
Once you finish your 8 reps put the 20 lb. barbell down and immediately pick up the 30 lb. barbell
Once again perform 8 strict reps.
Keep going up in weight until you cannot get 8 strict reps with a certain weight. For example, if you can only get 6 reps with the 50 lb. Barbell, stop and put it down.
Rest for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes of rest pick up the 50 lb barbell and perform 8 strict reps, then drop down to the 40 and do 8â€¦ etc. On this set you must perform 8 reps with each weight.

NOTE: You will only perform 2 sets of this exercise, one that increases in weight and the other that decreases in weight.
