Biceps
Like every muscle, I think it is best to work out each arm individually. I am a big fan of doing most exercises with dumbbells. Also, by isolating the arm, it makes it almost impossible to cheat. My favorite bicep workouts are concentration curls and preacher curls (with dumbbells) because you are isolating the arm on your inner thigh (with concentration curls) or on a bench (with preacher curls). Other good workouts I have found are great for bigger biceps are seated dumbbell curls, preacher curls (with E-Z bar), hammers, cross body dumbbell curls, reverse curls (with E-Z bar or a barbell), dumbell curls and hammer curls while lying on an incline bench, and pull ups (with palms facing in).

One of my all-time favorites is the cable "scott" curl. It is an unusual exercise that I picked up from one of the regular bodybuilding mags (i.e., musclemag, muscle&fitness), although I cant remeber for the life of me which one.
To perform this exercise you utilize a low cable pulley machine, a cambered bar (EZ-bar attachment for a cable machine), and a regular flat bench. Place the bench perpendicular to the cable. Sit on the floor facing the pulley, with the bench in between you and the pulley machine. Brace your feet against the machine. Now draping your arms of the bench, as you would to perform preacher curls, pull the bench toward you so that it is firm up in your arm pits. Grap the bar and perform just as you would a preacher curl.
(Note: You may have to adjust yourself back, further away from the cable machine, after you have grabbed the bar; to ensure tension remains constant throughout the range of motion and the stack does not hit before you reach the bottom of your motion.)
I'll try to find either a pic or a video to add to this, as I know this explanation could be somewhat confusing.
