hey i was just wondering if it was all right to do bicep curls every day...prolly i do 50 on each arm but i also do bench press and stuff but i wanna stick to curls even though i herd of better lifting exerises. so back to my original question : can i do bicep curls everyday????

I could be wrong but no same exercise should be done every day. what are your goals? Im guessing by the talk of bench press and biceps I assume you want to get muscular. If so, 50 is way too many.

A simple 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps is good. And once a week should be sufficient.

yes, you can do bicep curls everyday.

yea i do wanna get muscularnd cut nd i herd that the best way to do this was to do lift weights many times

Posted by: P-funk

all i said was that you could do it.

i didn't say it was a good idea or that it was the most efficient route to your goals.

in my opinion it is not the best thing you could do....in fact, i think it is an utter waste of time.

Without being rude (which would be so easy right now), read the training stickies and get back to us.

Posted by: katt

In a nutshell - your body can't fully recover from the last workout and continues to be stressed by futher exercise. This will halt muscle growth and actually make them shrink.

ooo...but it doesnt feel painfull to me or like anytin happens....how will i no if my muscles shrink? will there b any pain?

Posted by: katt

No pain as far as I am aware - but no growth -

Quit overtraining ! Read the stickies....

I agree with him to an extent. At my biggest I trained them 1-2 times per month. My arms were a bit over 18'' cold.

My bi's got plenty of work from rows, chins, etc.

I don't see a problem with doing 50 curls a day, provided you use sufficiently light weights. This will build up endurance and your biceps will not limit your back training when you do begin doing that.

This statement seems odd to me. Wouldn't your goals have something to do with your rep range and scheme?

Measure them on a weekly basis...

With the advantage of training other muscles aswell. Rows are the way to go

Pullups are the squats of the upper body!

Because i got much better gains doing heavy compound movement. I just use barbell curls every now and then to keep it different.
