What's you favourite exercise for biceps?

I have a work out for each muscle group that burns so good except biceps! for example with triceps I do weighted dips and its the best/worst burn in the world.

the thing is with biceps what ever I try doesn't leave my muscles screaming at me to stop.

Any ideas??

Squats.

[TheSlyKillah]

Incline DB curls.

[s2kvtec9]

take a decently weighted barbell, do 10 reps full ROM, 10 reps half ROM, 10 reps quarter ROM (without stopping) thats one set. Do 2 sets. Then preacher curls but FLEX your bicep as hard as you can throughout the entire motion

[Lucas17]

close grip chinups
LOOK at your bicep, you will use it more ( yes I know it sounds stupid )

I've been working on getting one armed chins/pull-ups, I can only do negative right now, but it's probably the best biceps exercise I've done. Tremendous amount of tension.

Weighted chinups, barbell rows.

I have read something about this type of exercise, what would be better about this then doing 30 full ROM??

Incline DB curls.

incline dumbbell? i dont mean to be rude but how would it be different to any other kind of curl??

lol doesnt sound stupid i've always found looking at the muscle your working helps focus on the muscle group during the exercise

Yeah that would be pretty hard, will be giving it a shot on tuesday lol

Straight BB Curls with semi ****ty form and an emphasis on proper bicep execution technique.

Think for a second about the positioning and the relation of your elbows to your torso. The incline curl works the long head (outer) bicep more than the standing curl and you get more stretch. More weight is used on the standing curl, so obviously it isn't a replacement, but an addition.

Orlando post a picture. My biceps were stuck at 16" for a year straight when I put all my focus into a variety of isolation movements for them and had gone to a lot machine/cable work for my back (a HUGE mistake). When I returned to heavy barbell rows and weighted chin-ups 3x a week and limited my direct bicep work to 3x6 on barbell curls once or twice a week, they started growing again. Eventually they were up to 20" after a signifigant amount of experimentation. Like most body parts, biceps respond very well to heavy compound movements.

You love to refute people on here yet have never posted pics or stats. Yes it does matter because someoen who can produce massive amounts of theory, yet cannot make their theories work in their body or in someone they train clearly cannot put it all together and it shows that their theories may not work in the real world.

[CelticTheTruth]

concentration curls... I do them after olympic lifting to keep my elbows healthy.

[blackdove212]

heavy barbell curls

[SerratusBrah]

seated incline dumbbell curls, or just regular barbell curls

there are people who's arms respond well to heavy compounds & there are those who dont & so they need isolations. its not a big deal really, its just a matter of trying both. people who try to fit one blanket over everybody will never find peace.

btw he did have a pic in the past but took it off as many do.

[flangmasterj]

heavy barbell curls

x heaps

Anyone who thinks chin-ups stimulate the biceps more than curls is taking the piss.

heavy standing dumbbell curls then ^ this to really carve em up.

[partsbook]

Straight Barbell 21's

[TheBroBrah]

Dead Lifts

[AnimalNation]

Heavy hammer curls with good form then some sort of slower, more concentrated contraction - maybe cable curls.

I would never advise anyone beyond the notice stage to do no isolation for their biceps of course, however direct bicep work does get entirely over-focused and people do not grasp just how much of their bicep development is a result of their compound work vs their isolation work. I've met lean guys with 18" arms who don't do curls at all, purely compound work, granted I am sure they great arm genetics. Still for most people the greater majority of their bicep development is the result of their back routine not their arm routine. I've noticed that those who focus on arms (curl jockies) who do not have well developed backs do a LOT of heavy cheat curls every week in order to have nice biceps. Those with a very well developed back do not need to seem very much direct bicep work in order to develop large biceps.

These are my observations of people over the past 13 years in gyms.

I'll have to agree with this,seems a good back routine will add mass to most of your body,my arm size didn't go up until I added deads. I do 3 sets heavy preachers,and 2 sets concentration curls on back day. Ever since I laid off the high volume bicep isolation routines they have grown considerably.
