What bicep exercises are you doing? How many times a week are you training the most important muscle? Are you hitting all the portions of the muscle?>Long head >Short head >Brachialis>Brachioradialis
>>77384986i alternate between ez bar preacher curls and seated incline db curls 3 times a weekhope that makes sense
I do curls in the morning before I go to work. I have a 20lb, 30lb, and 40lb dumbbell. I'll do normal, then hammer style. Slow and controlled till its burning a lot. My arms are very big. I like to do it at home so my gym sessions are shorter since I don't have to do biceps anymore. I do this maybe 3-4 times a week. If I'm bored at work I'll curl a bucket full of water bottles in the storage closet.
>>773849862wice a week.1st one is a wide grip barbell curl which targets the long head a little better.2nd is across the body db curl which targets the short head better and hits the brachialis(primary) & the Brachioradialis(secondary).I also do wrist curls for direct Brachioradialis but that's mostly for forearms
>>77385094>hope that makes senseno, it doesn't >>77383626>pull from above with elbow pushed forward with acute angle in elbow only with your wrist on rubber>it looks basically as if you tried to pat yourself on the head, in fact you might wanna get your head out of the way>elbow does not move shoulder is not tugged backwards - then it's biceps>>77385121it's not biceps it will only get abused and injured from this idiocy because delt is claming on long head biceps tendon at shoulder and making sure it's not working properly >what's with the picture his long head didn't grow at all through entire career - curls do not do biceps
>>77385126>it's not biceps it will only get abused and injured from this idiocy because delt is clamping on long head biceps tendon at shoulder and making sure it's not working properlyand that's what happens when said tendon is still clamped beneath delt and you extend elbow
I just do compound exercises and my biceps look gr8 m8
>>77385138Why are they getting so fucked up I don't get it
>>77385094Me too I do the exact thing and my biceps are getting fucking huge I'm really paranoid about tendon tears because of all the videos so I try to warm up quite a bit and use control at all times. I also do tendon strengthening holds at the bottom with lighter weight and shit and I progress super slow
straight bar biceps curl, that's all.
>>77386356I heard roids can weaken your connective tissue, maybe that is it?
>>77386356>>77386673Tendons don't respond to steroids as well as muscle tissue. So muscle growth outpaces tendon growth and they end up having muscles that can lift more weight than their tendons can handle.
>>77386356Just don't do bicep isolation exercises
>>77386356>Why are they getting so fucked up I don't get iti explained why: >>77385138>delt is clamping on long head biceps tendon at shoulder and making sure it's not working properly>and that's what happens when said tendon is still clamped beneath delt and you extend elbowdelt is flexed on long head biceps tendon and it needs to slide in there for full elbow extension - biceps was rendered artificially short it doesn't happen overhead: >>77385126>>>77383626 >>pull from above with elbow pushed forward with acute angle in elbow only with your wrist on rubber>>it looks basically as if you tried to pat yourself on the head, in fact you might wanna get your head out of the way>>elbow does not move shoulder is not tugged backwards - then it's biceps>>>77385121 from my experience biceps especially long head loves acute angle in shoulder joint so i just undulate elbow flexion there, works great :D
>77386356ego lifting
>>77387737he wasn't lifting he was lowering the weight>>77387346>>>77385138>>delt is clamping on long head biceps tendon at shoulder and making sure it's not working properly>>and that's what happens when said tendon is still clamped beneath delt and you extend elbow>delt is flexed on long head biceps tendon and it needs to slide in there for full elbow extension - biceps was rendered artificially short>>77385126>>>77383626 >>pull from above with elbow pushed forward with acute angle in elbow only with your wrist on rubber>>it looks basically as if you tried to pat yourself on the head, in fact you might wanna get your head out of the way>>elbow does not move shoulder is not tugged backwards - then it's bicepsand biceps snapped cause it run out of lenght
I need 1 exercise for biceps for the Upper 1 day, and another one for Upper 2 day. Tennis/Golf elbow are quiet but present. What do you have for me
>>77390762forget your biceps and hit your psoasbitches love a thick engorged powerful psoas
>>77390762incline DB curlpreacher curl - EZ bar if your elbows agree with it, DB if not
Chin ups, BB rows, heavy farmers. Whatever press exercise that requires stability.
>>77390852Thanks. What do you think onUpper 1 Cable curl or EZ barUpper 2 Bayesian curl
chin ups once a week3 sets1 week it's bodyweight amrapthe other week it's weighted. sets of 5.
I do seated (decline?) curls so I can mire my massive arms in the mirror. Then I'll do some cable push downs to hit triceps.
>>77391380i like cable curls and prefer them to EZ bar curlsbayesian curls are hit or miss imo, some people really like them but they're also easy to cheat on form-wise. if you use them, program them earlier into your workout so you aren't so fatigued that you sluff on form. personally, for training the bicep in a lengthened-biased position, i think incline DB curls are better because the bench gives you stability
>>77384986Cable curls with the rope attachment as my main and hercules curls with a regular single handle 2-3 times a week.
>>77392171Also, something I find underrated as a finisher when you can't complete another curl with good form: cheat by rowing the weight and then bring your hand to your chest.
>>77392164Alright then. Thank you!
>>77384986Yeah dude I do>elbow flexion>elbow flexion>elbow flexion>elbow flexionand then an elbow flexion to failure.
>>77384986>Slow zottoman curls 2x a week mainly for brachialis and brachioradialis>regular db curls if I feel like it as a finisher

>>77384986i'll ask here instead of making a new thread.are 17" arms achievable for a 5'7" manlet?my arms were 15.5" at their biggest before i stopped lifting and now i'm back to 15". what weights and exercises am i looking at to make it happen?
>>77385108>>77393522Dr. Mike said hammer curls are shit. Shit!
>>77394430I'm tall and mine are 15. Should be easier for you as a short nigga.
