No burn

[jridepb3]

I started a new routine recently and i started doing less sets on my biceps before i was doing about 5 different excercises 3 sets each i felt a burn then and i could feel my arms get tired but ive been told thats to many sets so i started doing 2 excercises 4 sets each im lifting heavy where i can only get between 6-8 reps but im not feeling a burn i feel like i could do alot more sets same with triceps also i started doing back/bi chest/tri i was doing bi and tris same day before should i go back to what i was doing or do you not always feel a burn when doing biceps and tris just wondering

this is a hard question to answer..

let me pose a question.. with either routine, how are you measuring improvement??? size, or strength increase???

example,

I do high rep, 20 x 3-4 sets and will increase the weight every other week.. so i know this is working..

I also will change to low reps or static training for 2 weeks every 6 weeks..

so i keep the body growing..

So i guess the answer is, if the routine is making it so you grow, why change, you should change to keep the muscles reacting to different stimuli, but if something isn't working, stop it..

What makes you think feeling a "burn" makes you grow?

dude if it was working for you then do it......LISTEN TO YOUR BODY RATHER TO SOME JOE ....your body will tell you what you need to know....

Try using slightly lighter weight and doing higher rep ranges. Keep switching things up so your muscles don't adapt. I find higher reps give a sick burn, especially on biceps. Also on curling motions, remember to keep your elbows into your sides and back.

thanks for the advice guys i think i might stay with this routine for a little bit maybe try more reps just see if it works
