I can't remember the last time I did a bicep curl and the guns are bigger than ever. All from deads, bench, rows as Goliath said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do one set of heavy and two other sets lighter just to get the burn.. After a back workout my biceps get a good pump anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably my most "aesthetic" feature so I want to make the most of it lol. Witnessed a new level of fail/douchery today at my new gym. Guy walks in, does 10 mins of cardio, 10 mins of weights, spends 20 mins in the bathrooms getting changed then steps into the squat rack where he takes an unloaded bar and starts to curl. I would assume he's trying to get one last pump in before he went out as he was all dolled up. The whole concept of what he was doing was sad enough but curling an unloaded bar in a sqaut rack was just astonishing.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 5m 26d Gender: Male Posted 11/11/12 07:29 AM Share Posted 11/11/12 07:29 AM I change it up every week but my workout this week was:Biceps 21s with preacher bar 4 setsStraight bar curls 4 setsDumbbell curls incline bench 4 setsRope pull ups 4 setsTricepsRope pull downs 4 setsT bar push downs alternating over and underhand grip same set 10 reps each 4 sets ( that one kills)All 12-15 reps with a relatively low weight. I dropped the weight and focus on full motion and correct form. I alternate the amount I concentrate on each muscle each time I do arms so next workout will be more focused on triceps. Once again working for me but always trying new things to find what's best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can have your arm and grip day.Also they are smaller muscles too so the last thing you want is to fail on a rep with the wrong muscle failing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
