no biceps

[frank_frank]

i hardly ever work my biceps! i work thm inderectly when i work my back but i almost never target them.. our strength coach at school only has us do like one bicep lift once a week and it does not even give me a pump or anything

does anyone else just depend on their back workouts to build their biceps?

[PrairieDawg]

why not work them out?

[frank_frank]

why not work them out?

well i pretty much follow our workout made by our strength coach for footballm and he doesnt have much bicep work at all
ill do some extra stuff to target larger muscle groups but i dont really do biceps

[zuke]

are your bi's underdeveloped as a result?

[frank_frank]

are your bi's underdeveloped as a result?

yes i think so.. but not too much because i try to do a lot of back and my biceps get worked indirectly

[zuke]

does this trainer tell you not to work triceps also?

[getbig888]

biceps are not as important as triceps in football/ but they should be worked

[frank_frank]

no we do tris

[frank_frank]

i agree .. and i should be doing more biceps to prevent an unbalance

[zuke]

it's not as if working them is going to take away from your tricep development... it should aid in the growth of your tri's if nothing else

i love hammer curls

[brew035]

Barbell curls-10,8,6
Incline Hammer curls-10,8,6
Seated preacher curls(single hand)consentrated-10,10,10

All heavy untill failure with good form. Now that should do it.
You can switch from incline to seated or standing Hammer curls from week to week.
And on the praecher curls you can switch from single hand to e-z bar to straight bar from week to week.

Yes and really focus on the squeez at the top. Make sure you teach your arms a lesson that they will remember.lol

haha the reason i asked was because on some weight lifting videos they dont go all the way up/down and i was like wtf..

You want to go all they way up and down just dont stop the weight from moving. Like dont pause at the bottom and then hold it at the top. You want to keep tension on the muscle at all times. Count three secons on the way down and 2 on the way up.

i prefer full extension, unless i am doing 21's.... i hate 21's with a passion... that's why i do them

ya i f*cking hate them too

[brew035]

Just use them for a pump right before you leave the gym. They make your arms feel huge. I love em just for that reason.

[zuke]

haha, maybe if they came in 12-packs they wouldn't suck so bad... for that matter, weightlifting would be great if the weights weren't so heavy...

it's a good thing i love the pain

I never agree with this statement. Biceps can increase your market value! Wether it be football or citizen work. Work them hard!

econ major?

[ire]

Ahahah, I figured Id get somekind of feedback on that level.


And no, they do not directly increase you bottom line!

[pyschomab]
