I have been working out hard since october. My chest, back, tri's, abs, all seem to be coming along well. However my bi's are lagging i work them 2x's a week w/ a variety of different workouts and i cant seem to stimulate growth. any ideas on what i need to do?
what bicep excersises have you been doing, along with sets & reps?
curls w/ a strait bar 3 sets 5 reps, curls w/ dumbells 3x8, and hammer curls 3x8. not all on the same day
This is the wrong forum for this, but stick with basic exercises to build biceps. Straight bar and dumbell! Best two exercises in my opinion.
Moving this to the workout forum...

That doesn't seem like much to me for biceps.Quote:

5 sets hammer curls with dumbells 14 reps
the more weight i do i'll knock off a rep or two, but not always. I'll always aim for 14 reps.
That's a regular bicep routine for me.
Of course im not suggesting this....i think this routine breaks the muscles down enough for them to grow.
Supinated-Grip Pull-Ups
exactly
how many undergrip chinups can you do?
Hey thanx for the advice everyone. I apologize for posting this in the wrong forum.
After a hard work out grab a Spotter in the gym and have him help you sit down at the preacher curl station and had on weight with 5 pound weight until it reaches a curl weight that you know you can curl 5 times
Then the reps go like this do your first 5 reps take off ten pounds thats make sure not to put the curl bar down have the spotter take the weight off for you then 5 more reps spotter take of ten pounds 5 more reps until the bar has no weight on it continue to do reps with no weight on the bar for 5 reps then have the spotter put on 10 pounds try to hit 5 reps if you get 5 reps go on to the nest ten pounds try to get 5 reps if sucesfull continue if not you have your starting point try to be able to finish all the weight takeing it off then on.
This work out suffocates your muscles and you should feel a huge PUMP Don't stop using the straight bar and dumbbells those are great this is just something to add so you can track progress and develope muscle strength
