Premiere

I just began working out again about a month and a half ago due to basketball season starting back up and my legs are growing just like i want them too, but not these damn biceps here is my bicep work out:

Standing preacher curls 3 sets 8-10 reps
Military Press 3 sets 8-10 reps
Incline bench Press 3 sets 8-10 reps
Hammer Curl 3 sets 8-10 reps
Lying Cable Curls 3 sets 8-10 reps

what should i change or add?? help me please!!

Military Press 3 sets 8-10 reps
Incline bench Press 3 sets 8-10 reps

First of, Those movements don't hit the biceps at all. Check this out:

Standing Curls - 4 X 10 -- Almost to failure everyset.
Incline Curls - 3 X 10 -- Almost to failure everyset.
Preacher Curls - 3 X 10 -- Last set to failure with addition assisted reps. * Get somebody to help lift a little off.

Another movement you should do is alternating dumbbell curls. Lift heavy as hell, perfect form, and with intensity -- and your biceps should be explodin! Goodluck man.

P.S -- Don't work your biceps until they are fully recovered.

Personal Bests:

Bench - 235
Deadlift - 315 X 17
Squat - 315 X 11
40 yrd. - 4.65

Premier - List your entire workout. If your looking for arm size, you should concentrate on triceps also. They make up two thirds of your arm -- and for arm mass ; Huge Triceps is the only way to go.

Is this all in one workout??? Might want to try cutting down the volume. My arms respond best using 2-3 exercises for bi's and 2-3 for tri's. Usually, no more than 16 or 18 total sets for arms.

HoldDaMayo

I COMPLETELY agree with you Var... biceps are a very small muscle group and get worked pretty hard doing most back exercises...

Are you kidding me????

tjwes

You`ve got 21 sets for biceps there.Way too much ,cut back to 8-10 sets!

I was told rule of thumb is 9 sets for small muscles (bis, tris) and 12-14 for bigger muscles (quads etc)

HoldDaMayo

9 sets sounds about right.. i mean give or take... that would mean 3 exercises for biceps... some might do 2 exercises at 4 sets each... but that would seem to be a better choice imo...

Are you kidding me????

Darkkmind

Yeah that's way too much for one workout! Lift heavy and use proper form.
