Curling Discussion

[Metal85]

How much weight do you consider too much when curling?
I have noticed from all the years I have been lifting that when I am doing even 3 sets of 10 with 135 pounds with barbell curls, or 105 on preacher curl, my arms dont neccesarily get bigger.
Some are in the opinion that 2 10s on each side of the preaher curl is more than enough to yeild the same results.

My personal typical Bi workout consists of this:

*Preacher curl w/ easy bar 3 x 10
*Preacher curl Individual hammers 3 x 10 per side
*Cable curls (up high pulling towards hear) 3 x 10
*Individual cable (pulling from hand supinated and flat down to opposite clavicle) 3 x 10
*drag curls 3 x 10
*Than I will usually do either standing hammers, pin wheels, concentration, or laying flat pulling the rop in from bent knees close to hands going apart to shoulders--- any one of these for 3 x 10

You might be overtraining them ..

i do a maximum of 9 working sets and one drop set for bies... minimal rest periods though...no particular exercises i vary them every time i train. they seem to grow off that.
i consider bies to be a very small muscle. no need to do so many sets.

a couple months back left arm was 18 1/2 pumped and I was 192 at the time, its not that I have small arms but who doesnt want to see there arms a little bigger lol I'd like to see 19

I dont think heavy weight is needed to grow ur biceps, medium weight with perfect form will do the trick everytime! I think the same can be said for traps, and tris.

 

[Metal85]

yeah def but than again no matter what exercise I do my traps get bigger lol

how big are your arms?

 

[buckns]

Not that size ! :-(

 

[Metal85]

well what are they than? lol

I agree with Presser on this.. My arm don't grow very much when I try to go heavy.. But if I do lighter weight like 50lb dumbbell for 3 sets of 15 they seem to grow alot better.. I'm pushing for 20" arms... The damm things are just to dam long tho... lol

I don't know how big my arms are, but they are big for my weight and I don't do anything too heavy, just focus on squeezing the shit out of them

Metal needs all the help he can get when it comes to arms, his traps overwhelm everything
