    I am also currently applying this concept to chest/triceps with great success.
    To each his own my friend. You have to be constantly switching it up. For several weeks do the pre-fatigued, then maybe try a routine that has your back on day 2 and then your arms on day 5 so you can really focus on getting your biceps stronger on exercises like preacher curl, db curls, bb curl, etc. Glad your having success!

    In general, it's the strongest muscle groups that tend to not get as sore as the weaker ones. But, that's not always the case either!

    Don't judge progress on muscle soreness per se. I would suggest you try training the biceps with the back when training them twice a week and keep the bi's separate from back workouts when training them once a week. This has worked extremely well for many of my clients!

    Make sure u get a good stretch on the negative, most people at the gym have no clue on proper form. They just bounce the weight and do about 1/2 of the rom. Try throwing in some cable movements, controlled negatives, pausing and holding, drop sets, etc.

    I prefer this method. Also, after your working out your back and Bi's are pre-fatigued I'll do 1 set heavy heavy. Keeping reps 8 and below. This keeps me progressing on my lifts, and I keep getting stronger.

    And about being natural, I'm natty, just listen to your body and diet properly.
