bi-cep peaks

[axemurderer187]

Are peaks just genetic? I have nice size arms but don't gety any peaks... Am starting to think peaks are genetic. I've tried everything...

The shape is genetic. What is you BF%

This^^

For me, hammers would be the top excerise for the biceps because they work the lower biceps, the brachialis and coracobrachialis, which helps to push up the biceps, giving a greater peak. Wait there is more..... you get the forearm extensors as well.

My top Bi movment.

bf% is low, I'd say around 11. I do the basics, hammers, preachers, standing curls, incline bench curls. Arms are big, just no peaks.......

Like noles said the shape is genetic but I was able to really focus on my peak by going to full lock out on my curls. Try it and see if it helps at all.

[axemurderer187]

i always lockout. I also flex at top position, read that somewhere. I try to torch my arms as hard as possible.. They grow but no peaks...

I personally think that high rep preachers and incline curls in combination with hammer curls could build a good looking peaked bicep. I feel that those exercises have helped me as I had that same problem. Also leaning down helped show more definition which in turn shows more of a peak. Genetics does play a role in it but don't let that be an excuse. You can still better them.

if ur gonna do hammers, i find seated is btr. stop u cheating on those last few reps! and ive never had problems with my biceps, my easiest body part 2 grow. i have shit legs though, so im sure u have another body part that beats other ppl, just how genetics goes :P

Try standing concentration curls

[SuperLift]

sometimes ill do concentration hammers

[mattl]

its largely genetic, but going to lockout stretches the muscle which helps to get the microtears, which leads to size, which leads to better peaks!

[Damienm05]

the shape is genetic as Noles said but your form can largely dictate how the bicep develops.

Like a few guys said, concentration curls are good for the peak
