Reply With QuoteFor my biceps to increase in strength on a standard curl, I seem to respond best to no arm work, or the occasional set thrown it for the Hell of it. I gained an estimated 20 pounds on my 1RM (Using 1RM calculators) over the course of several months in this fashion.
However, you must consider that increases in weight on that movement will be fairly minimal relative to other movements because you have to factor in the lever arm distance in that movement.

Havent had strength gains on biceps..
The past topics I have read about biceps talk about getting them cut. However, I have increased strength on every single other body part, but biceps. Shit, curls at 135lbs on a BB was done maybe 3 years ago and really, that max hasnt changed. Id say that was done with shitty form too.
When one biceps workout gains, the other loses. Meaning, if I can preacher curl say um 115lbs for 3 sets of 6, the following workout will suffer tremendously. Overtrained? Maybe.
I have just taken out biceps all together and used them on back days. After a given back workout, I would do 2 excercises, 2 sets each of hammer curls. One standing and one on the preacher. Burns like a bitch, but god knows if this will increase strength.
What has increased strength for everyone else?6' 217lbs (10/18)
Bench 365 (12/3)
Weighted Pullups 80lbs 3x3 (3/19)
Squat 370
Deadlift after herniation 385lbs 3x3 (3/17)
NASM certified 2/06
