    do your bi's with your back. You work a lot of your biceps when you do back so it only takes a few sets to get a good bi workout. Just my opinion tho

    IMO, the best exercise bicep for mass and strength is PULLUPS, weighted preferably

    Chin-ups actually. Not pull-ups.

    With palms facing you, slightly less than shoulder width apart.

    Lets see...

    Shoulders: military press, arnold press, power cleans & press
    Chest: Bench (and variations), Dips, pushups
    back: deadlifts, pull-ups (palms facing away), t-bar rows, bent over bb rows, upright rows
    legs: squat, lunges, deads
    arms: chin ups (palms facing you), close grip bench, dips, standing olympic bar curl, skull crushers...


    just off the top of my head.

    seriosulytho, ill switch up my exercises when i feel ive hit a plateua or im uising a great amount of weight for one exercise and its putting alot of stress on tendons/joints. i used skull crushers as a staple for triceps and well, i used to heavy weight and too low rep range and developed tendonitis lol.. culd avoided this by going higher reps or switching the exercise.. now i ust cant do them.. in short, if i want to work back width ill be doing wide lat pulldown for x amount of time then come back to wide pullups.. stuff liek that i change to confuse my body as much as possible..flat/incline bench with flat/incline dumbells, etc. every so often
