    Biceps

    Here is my typical bicep routine, 55 lb barbell curls, 12 reps for warm up
    75 lb for 12 reps, 95 lb for 10 reps, 115 for 6 reps

    standing alt dumbbell curls, 35 lb for 12 rep, 40 for 12 and 45 for 10 to 12

    finally, from week to week i end with either cable curls, 100, 110, 120 all for 12 reps, or preacher curls with the curl bar, inside grip at 85, 105, 110 10 to 12 reps

    For some reason, i cant put on bicep size, I have made gains in strength, the triceps and shoulders look great, but I cant get the big vein look on the bicep.

    Any suggestions ?

    Big veins mostly comes from genetics! In order to see what veins you have it's time to reduce the carbs to eliminate body fat.
