    I'm gonna go head and take a shot in the dark here, you're kinda new to lifiting huh?
    NBD that just means you're about to get some of your best gains. What your buddy is talking about is eccentric training. Commonly known as "Negatives" because your emphasising the Eccentric (or Negative) movement. Yeah it's supposed to stimulate a lot of growth and you can really feel that shit tear! Make sure your curls are with good form too many people F that up. Curls are supposed to be isolating your bicep muscle so you shouldn't be using your back at all, don't "throw" the weight up. You can pretty much open up any kind of muscle magazine and find a good sample workout for chest and/or arms. I'd reccomend finding one and sticking with it for a while. Just be patient your gains will come, as long as you keep your intensity high you wanna make those weights your bitch every time, and stay consistent don't be lazy, being jacked is funner. A good rule of thumb is 16 sets (4 sets and 4 exercises) for larger muscles (Like your chest) and 12 sets (3 sets and 4 exercises) for smaller muscles (Like biceps or triceps) but hey it's your workout you can mash it up however you want, just make sure you know what you're doing. Hope I could help! Take care and good luck!
