different angle, tempo, rom, weight, etc.
bicep is one that actually responds well to how you feel during your workout. yall shud be feeling filthy pumps.

but there's also genetics. some people can't grow no matter how hard they try. leaving synthol the only way.

Just spam weighted dips, skull crushers, tricep push downs, and overhead cable rope extensions. Heavy dips will do the most

no it is not bot, it's just that boiceps does fuckall here cause long head gets trapped under delt at shoulder tendon and whole biceps sputters
shoulder tendon this sheeboon doesn't have in his left arm - yes by ripping long head shoulder tendon larry whilliamson made ultimate curl "adaptation" to his left arm lol :D
>>76771268
>For a natty it can happen only when you take way to much weight and can't hold it. So it drops down and you relax your muscles at the bottom possition, which will lead to over stretched tendowns under extreme load. Which is never unless you are retarded.
>99.9% of cases are roidtrannies with blown up miscles and no tendon strength.
VERY NICE EXPLANATION BOT
i like it so much, it just lacks one crucial tidbit:
with flexing the livving shit out of delt trying to do shoulder flexion long head shoulder tendon get's trapped underneath and artificially shortens the biceps

>Which is never unless you are retarded.
correction - which is always the case with "biceps" curls, preachers just make it that much worse cause there is no give in shoulder joint
flexed delt and elevated shoulder stays in place and biceps cut off in half by delt can't hold the load with unfavorable angles

one of the first things i have truly figured out, and only recently have i found the complete solution to this problem and therefore the only way to grow long head of biceps - short will sorta grow with conventional methods cause it bypasses the shoulder entirely, it will still be hampered by conjoined at elbow long head spazming

lean on yer elbow/forearm, supinate forearm, put your pinky into shirt pocket against resistance trying to pronate your forearm, and don't even hold it with your hand

I had the same issue. Couldn't feel Bicep working at all. I tried EZ bar, Straight bar, DBs. Fucking nothing.

Then I switched to Cable work and boom, suddendly I can feel the pump in my Biceps. I feel pic related the most for some odd reason.
>>
>>76780743
NO

>>76780068
keep pumping
biceps is hard to actually get fatigued and trigger growth
do dropsets until your arms fall off
so strict bb curls into cheatcurls into immediately change to lower weight dumbbells and then cheat them as well
every weight/technique should be only 4 or 5 reps max but in total you should do around 25 reps per dropset
do this 3x and then eat well and sleep

>>76781000
>flexing the livving shit out of delt trying to do shoulder flexion long head shoulder tendon
no bot, full internal shoulder rotation, FULL - as if your arm was in a sling
AND THERE NEEDS TO BE PRONATING COMPONENT TO load as biceps role is SUPINATION at east in half (the act of supinating bot - it doesn't work with just le do supine curls)
like so bot:

A lot of people swing dumbbels around and make them a full body exercise, but that doesn't mean they don't work if you do them right. Don't need to lean up against a bench and do ten steps either.

Heavy weighted chin ups

It was a nightmare to get mine to 16" and then I got hardstuck there. Also, as soon as I diet down a bit my arms deflate and I lose up to an inch when I'm not full.

Good way to pull a bicep or tendon. Try different humerus angles i like a lot of leaned over the preacher so a more perpindicular to the ground humerus angle.

NO IM NOT USING THE CURL MACHINE,
MY ARMS WERE LARGE ENOUGH FROM SQUATTING,
>>
So whats the consensus?
Are we doing dumbbell curls or are they bad as in not targeting the biceps enough? I do bis, and very well, but RARELY do I get DOMS. Maybe I need to do more or change the exercise...
>>
>>76780155
You should be in misery from the muscle burn. Position your elbows in different positions front to back and curl. Extreme reps #s
>>
>>76782524
Invest in a cable pulley system. They are cheap. Constant tension on the Bicep will give you DOMS.
>>
>>76782536
I have said system. With attachments. What do you recommend I do? Ive been doing curls with dumbbells on the incline bench with my elbow planted for isolation...
>>
>>76782585
Try switching your Bicep training to Cables only. Go for very high reps. One arm at a time. If you can't do more reps, help yourself with other hand and then try to control the negative. Cables are superior when it comes to Bicep and Forearm training, it's the constant tension that makes Bicep grow.
>>
im only 5'9 but my arms are long and skinny like that of a 6'5 twink, FUCK YOU DAD FOR GIVING ME THESE GENETICS
>>
>>76780836
Invest in a dip belt. Bw dips can only take you so far. Weighted dips also mog any tricep machine out there. Hard to progress though, so treat it like a compound lift
>>
>>76782642
Time to set some state records in deadlift

>>76780068
>Wide Grip drag curls with a straight bar
>Narrow grip preacher curls with an ezbar
Everything you need for bis
>Dips
>French Press or Press down
Everything you need for tris
>Hammer Curls
>Gripper
>Wrist Curls
>Reverse Wrist Curls
Everything you need for big arms. Do this at least once per week on its own day.
If you don't feel it, you're not doing it right.
Eat more to grow.

>>76782777

>>76780068
just stare at your biceps and whisper "grow grow grow"
do this for one hour per night
>>
>>76780155
Literally curl more.
>>
>>76780836
Replace bench with dips for a couple months, progress every session, treat bench as an assistance lift. People like to spam high rep dips but old school lifters would go heavy. Once you're doing dips with a 45lb resistance for sets of five you'll see huge triceps gains.
>>
>>76782779
Queer.

>>76780068
Kek, everyone bitches about calves but biceps are the real bastards to grow

It took years but I got mine to 18" natty fairly lean eventually, here's the main shit that got me out of 15" hell bruh
>Lot of volume, you cant just be doing 4 sets of 10 curls the whole week
>Leave your ego at the door. I get that's cringe and cliche as fuck, but swinging heavy weight you can't handle won't do shit. It will get you out of novice but that's about it. Emphasise form.
>Preacher curls, few good sets of these when really squeezing and I guarantee you feel it. Make sure you're progressive overloading of course, with Preacher curls I always see people doing the same weight, same number of sets, same number of reps for years. Adding weight is hard but needed, even if literally 1kg increments
>Seated incline dumbbell curls, they're humbling as fuck and will make you feel weak, but 100% worth doing
>What also helped me a lot, when I already have a good pump on biceps go do skull crushers then, my whole arms will be on fire after these
>Also focus on progressing with weighted chin ups, assuming you're not 300lbs or some shit and actually can do them
Obviously eat too, you're not gonna grow them if you're one of the niggas who's "on a cut" 24/7, 365. They're the fucking hardest muscle to grow but you can work past it
>>
>>76780068
>>76780155
Weighted chin ups, heavier curls.
>>
>>76782960
How many sets of Biceps per week would you recommend?
>>
>>76783039
I do about 16-19 sets myself, not all on the same day though. Currently on Monday I'll do 4 sets of alternating dumbbell curls and another 4 sets of weighted chin ups. Then on Wednesday usually 4 sets of Preacher curls and 4 sets of alternating dumbbell curls. I'll sometimes do a few sets of cable curls, really squeezing, if I'm feeling it too. That's it for isolations anyway, of course they'll get hit when doing some other lifts too

And that's just a guideline really, I'll always try and do 4 sets but I'm sometimes wiped out after 3 and immediately know I'm done after 2 reps of the 4th set

>They're the fucking hardest muscle to grow but you can work past it
nope bot, real growth starts with realizing that shit is SUPPOSED TO WORK WITHOUT FUCKING STANDING ON EYELASHES
real biceps exercise bot, right here:
>>76780774
>>>kneel beside bench, rest elbow on bench put one of those under outside foot and hook powerband on thumb and wrap it through wrist (not palm, it's not wrist flexion excercise - it's biceps) so that it pronates your forearm by unwinding, and put your pinky into your shirt pocket - full internal rotation of shoulder
>>only that i have put folded rug under powerband on wrist to make the lever arm for supination bigger - very nice, that's the way to go :D
because otherwise it's NOT BICEPS, flexed delt makse sure of that

and i am at a point bot that i see when biceps flexes
it doesn't move nearly as much with elbow flexion as it moves with supination

soft delt - that elbow lean
full internal shoulder rotation - makes sense, otherwise u're introducing instability via short head
load pronating forearm preferably omitting wrist , even grabbing db unevenly is not enough and most of that load will stay in forearm
>it's just bastardized concentration curl
dumbbell doesn't give any load twisting forearm into pronation
>>76781035
>no bot, full internal shoulder rotation, FULL - as if your arm was in a sling
>AND THERE NEEDS TO BE PRONATING COMPONENT TO load as biceps role is SUPINATION at east in half (the act of supinating bot - it doesn't work with just le do supine curls)

and triceps is here where u chose bot to give up:

>>76780068
Curls in the squat rack till failure is the only thing that works for me
>>
>>76780068
>3x15/F One Hand Cable Curls
>4xF E=Z Bar Curls/Reverse Curls superset. (30 sec between Curls and Reverse Curls) 1 minute rest between each superset.
(I do this after Back workout)

Seemed to work for me. I had a hard time exhausting the Biceps even after a heavy Back session.
>>
>>76780068
>*refuses to grow*
My chest is like that. I'm stuck at doing 80kgx10x3 bench press for 3 months now. Only lift that I'm stuck at. I don't know what to do at this point.
>>
>>76784522
Do more Shoulder and Tricep work. It will improve your Bench.
>>
Plate curls are the only thing that gives me a pump. Barbell curls only gives me a fuckass burning sensation at the end of my biceps and nothing else.
