Intensity principles..
Have you tried adding in different intensity principles such as drop sets, super sets, negatives? Are you actually focusing on going to total failure on you work sets? Have you tried changing your order of exercises or switching it up to new exercises? Different grips?
If I find my muscle possible becoming complacent or not getting worked well, I will use some of the above principles to up the intensity or variation of the workout.
If your not getting better, you're getting worse.

same here dude. i increased my dumbbell curl from 11lbs to 22lbs each also not feeling anything the day after even though i aimed at high intensity and low reps which was about 3 sets of 7-8 reps. then i decided to include chin up to my routine. i hope something will pan out soon, maybe not now.
no pain no gain huh?

delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is not an indication of how hard you worked a muscle. it's only an indication of how adapted your muscles are to working hard. Translation: this means your biceps are getting used to workout out, it doesn't mean you're not working them hard enough.
Gains in size and/or strength are your indication of progress.**New Jersey Crew (732)**

but why are we instructing him to switch from what could possibly be a very good routine for him right now just to make sure his biceps get sore?
if he is making gains with what he is doing now, there is no need to switch it up yet...if having sore muscles is the primary goal over making gains, there are a ton of ways to acccomplish that...but i thought making steady gains was the goal, and until OP clarifies weather his bicep routine is providing gains for him, or it has gone stale, we shouldnt be telling him to change it just for the feeling of sore arms...This message has been approved by ThisNameIsTaken
