Has to be the one arm cable curls. I attach one of those loop handles to the end of a cable which is attached to a floor pulley. I stand with my feet shoulder width apart with my arm at my side. Grasping the handle with an underhand grip, I then do a bicep curl up to my shoulder and then down.
I like this exercise as the tension from the weight is consistent and I receive a great pump.

Mine's the old standby, dumbbell curls on an incline bench. I like to mix it up a bit by alternating between curling the weight in a forward motion and curling the weight in a somewhat outward motion. This helps to target the bicep on a slightly different angle.
Don't forget to pause at the top of the curl and to lower your arm slowly to the starting position.

2 or 3 sets barbell curls supersetted with 2or 3 sets of triceps push-downs.
2 sets of either dumbell hammer curls or regular dumbell curls supersetted with either 2 sets of dumbell kick-backs or EZ bar triceps extensions.
2 or 3 sets of barbell wrist curls supersetted with 2or3 sets of EZ bar reverse curls.
I find that by changing exercises fairly often, I will get a better pump and overall development. I also try for different angles with the exercises; for instance, I might do seated dumbell curls one workout and the next I would perform the exercise in a standing position. I try to use as many variations of an exercise as I can; providing the exercise seems to agree with me and my bodytype.

I devote a seperate day to arm training, and usually use Super-Sets.I change workouts at every session but I have found this one to be particularly result producing. Super-Set # 1.-Barbell Curls with Lying Triceps Extensions, for 4 sets of 6-12 reps, pyramiding up in weight each set, and lowering reps. Super-Set #2.-Cable Preacher Curls with Triceps Pressdowns,for 4 sets of 8-15 reps each also using a pyramid shceme.I finish off with a little extra triceps work, because the triceps are about 2/3 of the upper arm,and need a little more work to keep them in proportion. One-Arm Dumbell Extensions-3 sets of 8-15 reps.I go from one arm, to the other,with no rest until all sets are completed.I then finish off the day with Wrist Curls and Reverse Wrist Curls,for forearms, also Super-Setted for 3 sets of high reps(15-25) each.
