Push ups work primarily on your "pecs" but as you continue to work-out, you will notice an increase in strength in your bi-cep area as well. There are a number of variations to push-ups as well - which can target specific areas of your "pecs", developing specific muscle zones. Pick up a "Mens Health" magazine sometime, and you will certainly find some tips on how to use these exercises. Great magazine for this kind of information.

Uh, I think they make them large, rather then big, But curls willl help the most, but you gotta get protein,fat,mass (etc.) and then turn it into muscle before any bulking happens. Hope this helps

pull ups is a great compound excercise..it is used as a back excercise and works biceps and forearms too..a similar to it but taking some of the pressure from the lats and middle back and pressing the biceps more is chin ups(palms facing at you)...for only isolating biceps you should ALONG with these have some curling movements...(dumbells or barbells)

No. Dips are a terrific triceps exercise, but they will not build biceps. Although using a straight bar can be hard on your wrists, the best two exercises for building biceps are the standing biceps curl using a straight bar and an arm blaster and the standing biceps curl using a straight bar and a narrow grip. For more information, see Tesch's TARGET BODYBUILDING.

They don't work your biceps they work your triceps, chest, and i believe the back as well.
