    Bicep look smaller than Tricep.. Help

    I notice that my tricep look bigger than my bicep. I think it's happen because lack of bicep exercise. Actually, I do not exercise my tricep, too but I think it's bigger becuase bench press. I alway keep bench press but I do not perform drumbell curl much.

    Question.
    If I want to add more size of my Bicep. At least, let it look match / equal with my tricep. Could you recommend work out routine for me, please?

    your tricep is supposed to be 60% of the upper arm...
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Tricep is supposed to be bigger. Its supposed to be stronger.

    But if your bi's are really lagging here are a few-

    Barbell curl
    Dumbell curl
    Preacher curl
    Heavier back work (rows)

    Hey I have the same problem. I never did triceps except for when i benched. I did biceps regularly but they just didn't seem to grow for me so they seem to lack in proportion. Plus my shoulders are pretty big and round so it makes my biceps look even smaller.

    Thanks for every reply.

    That's mean my bicep/tricep is fine. (I have to tune-up my mind.) I will add some routine for my arms later.

    then you need to drop some body fat. your muscles look bigger when you are lean even when they are relaxed...
