What are some good exercises for your biceps?

The most popular ones are dumbbell curls, barbell curls, hammer curls and chin-ups.Dumbbell curls is done using, funnily enough, dumbbells (dumbbells are the ones that you can hold in one hand). It's quite simple to do: simply hold the dumbbells at either sides of your body with your arms straight and your palms facing away from you. Then bring the dumbbells up to your chest without moving your upper arm and without rotating your wrist.Barbell curls are exactly the same except you use a...barbell.Hammer curls are slightly different in that your palms are parallel to your body. Apart from that it's identical to a dumbbell curl.Everyone knows what a chin-up is (if you don't it's the same thing as a pull-up).All of these exercises work your biceps to varying degrees. Exercises like the barbell and dumbbell curls focus on the development of the biceps brachii muscle, whereas hammer curls develop the other muscles in the arm/forearm region which are considered as elbow flexors, wrist supinators and wrist flexors.

How can a 12 year old get big biceps and triceps without heavy weights?

Large biceps require both proper genetics as well as proper strength training. While any given individual may or may not have the genetic potential for large biceps, everyone has the genetic potential to get stronger biceps. Biceps are actually a relatively small muscle group. If you do a whole body routine or an upper-body routine, it's important not to overwork them--and overworking them is easy to do. Ensure that you warm-up properly. Any exercise that pulls the forearm towards the upper arm will work the biceps. This includes all the variations of the curl such as standing dumbbell curl, standing barbell curl, dumbbell curl on incline, seated dumbbell curl, lying dumbbell curl and concentration curls. It also includes many exercises that work the upper back such as lat pulldowns. Remember that, if you want to increase the size of your upper arms, it's more important to train your triceps than your biceps. The way it's usually thought of is that the triceps account for 2/3rds of the mass of the upper arm while the biceps account for only 1/3rd of its mass. .

If you powerlift only squat bench and deadlift will your biceps lag behind because you dont work them out directly?

Yes, because you don't use your biceps in any of those three exercises. That's why you do presses, ideally standing barbell presses. There's no need to do isolation work on your biceps, though most will anyway.
