[SamWelly]

Hi Rep supersets seem to be the most effective for small muscle groups IMO. After seeing a bicep tear off in person, 100kg bicep curls freak the shit outa me

Ouch!! What happened when he tore it? What did it look like?

[L3pwn]

u could try negative repititions (dunno if its called like that in english). like u do concentration curls with rly heavy weight that u cant lift. so u lift it with the help of ur other arm and let it go down as slow as u can.

who gives a rat arse about bicep strength anyway unless your a competive arm wrestler or chin up record holder,how much would extra bicep strength would carry over to a bench,deadlift,squat or olymipic lift.not a lot

question for pete

why do you care so much about your bicep strength/size ?

is this the only part your focused on so you can "pull the chicks" ?

[Laver]

Luigi it's not really our business.

He wasn't talking about size, nor did he suggest that was the only body part he was concerned with.

Don't insinuate crap

I've been watching this thread with some amusement. The state of some of you...

I'm concerned specifically about bicep strength as I seem to be making strength gains in all exercises except the two standard curl exercises - standing ez bar curl and standing cable curl.

I use a workout sheet for each session and note the reps and weights for each set, which is how I measure progress.

strength..... curl heavy for 6-8 reps for a few sets and then do some negatives with a partner....

Lol

Do your lat pulldowns and bb rows with an underhand grip. This increased my bicep size and strength dramatically, I now only do 3 sets for biceps.

[L3pwn]

why lol? its a well known technique.

haha this thread cracks me up! most likely u are cheating when doin the exercises, its easy to use yr back and delts when training biceps and this will be y they not growing, is yr delts and lower back getting bigger? :pfft:

i agree with mr natural...

"its all in the swing" haha
