Hammer curls on a preacher culr bench are also excellent for a huge bicep pump.

I used to do a lot of preacher curls, but found I prefer standard curls better since you get a full range of motion. So I like stand up hammers best. But I still rotate preacher exercises into my programs too.

I know what you mean.

I love to do different angles & grips so will usually include 3 different angles & grips to my bicep routine that I alter every 3-4 weeks.

You're one to talk dude.

But changing up your angles & grips every 3-4 weeks is really great to keep your biceps guessing.

One of my favorites is standing db curls but crossing the db infront of you to really get a great bicep contraction.

The same can be done for hammer curls.

 

[Randy]

Well I'm still trying to adhere to my diet...

so far today...

meal 1: protein shake with 2 cups milk / 5gms creatine / 5gms l-glutamine

meal 2: 6 eggs (2 whole / 4 white only) english muffin with lean white turkey
1 cup of milk with 5 gms creatine / 5 gms l-glutamine

Meal 3: New York Steak / baked potato / brocolli / water /small salad

3 more to go ... This diet stuff is tough. I know I can cut more without the milk, but it is a good protein source

Perhaps this is true, but I still say that the curls should be kept to a minimum. The observations that I have made show that supplementing compound pulling movements with direct bicep work is a good idea, but the number of sets done should be very small. Maybe my biceps just have a very low capacity for recovery, but I am not going to argue with results.

Johnnny was suggesting up to 9 sets to be performed with isolation bicep exercises, which I feel is too much unless you stop several reps short of failure.

I concur. Unless one is using anabolics of some sort then biceps work should be kept to a minimum. Anywhere between 2-5 working sets depending on the individual's capacity for recovery and relative effort being expended (are the sets to failure or short of failure, i.e. "intensity" defined in the HIT manner).

I personally have just begun direct arm work again and am using 2 sets of barbell curls.

Stop pretending you are smart by regurgitating random phrases you have read throughout the Internet or in BB magazines, yet you don't understand. The real key to hypertrophy is progressive resistance, not a multitude of "angles & grips."

to keep your biceps guessing

Yea, I like to suprise my biceps every couple of months to keep them on their toes.

But dont you hate it when they sneak in your workout log at night and get a jump on the next day's workout and their all ready for it. That TOTALLY ruins the suprise, AND my workout. ....and then I have to spank them and send them to bed early for cheating with no dessert or TV.

 

[KarlW]

Do they let you in on the fact that they took a peek or do you find out during your first set when they find the exercise too easy?

Oh my biceps are some lying sum a bitches and wont tell me nuthin until that first set and it just feels so damn easy.

Sometimes I get pissed and just whup their asses in front of the gym.. and like this one lady tried to stop me and said she was gonna call the cops for bicep abuse and aggrivation but then my biceps defended me and told her to fuk off and go do sum cardio for her fat ass.
