    Will this work?

    When I was younger I would work my biceps eod and I actually got alot of strenght and good gains. Now I work them 1 or sometimes twice a week. I cant make anymore strength gains. I switch my rountines and everything. Do you guys think I'll just be wasting time trying to work them every other day again?

    Not alot to go on. What does your current workout routine look like? How long have you been training, shizit just give us your stats. You might want to try sticking to just one routine for a couple months and then switch to another.

    I have the most trouble with bi's too. I am doing better with 4 sets of anything for 20 reps in addition to 9-12 of 8-10 rep range exercises. I sometimes do 33 reps of a 40 lb bar dividing them up into 11 sets at the bottom, middle, and top of the normal rep. I don't know if that makes much sense. Though honestly, after doing any bicep exercise for two weeks, it just seems to have a rapidly diminishing effect. You may have biceps that are stretched longer than most people and the gains do not look as big as they really are.

    Thanks guys I hate feeling like its a waste. Lately I've been doing my 3 excercises and just not feeling done so I do 1 more excersise than another. Then they feel good but only on the lower half .

    I usually do a 10, 8, 4 rep scheme, but decided to switch it up yesterday. I did between 4-6 reps at the most for every set. Definitely feeling it this morning
