Whats the best exercise for making biceps look fuller and longer? I do alot of concentration curls but i have long arms and its hard to get any size to them. My triceps seem to increase in size alot easier for some reason, and its starting to make my arms look a bit out of proportion. Is it better to do alot of reps with light weights or 8-10 reps with heavy weight? Also ive been told by someone that theres slow twitch and fast twitch fibres in all your muscles except biceps which only have one, so it doesnt matter about doing heavy weights to gain size, is that bull****? Thanx

Don't worry about weight.. focus on correct form.
To get full biceps you obviously want to have biceps that look good from all angles right?
Well to do this you need to switch up the grips you are using and the exercises to hit the different parts of the bicep.
Close grip = Outside
Wider grip = Inside
Some exercises emphasis different spots on the arm just search around and you can find them.
When doing biceps you want to keep your wrists pointing away from you (rather than your wrist curled to you) this keeps more of the forearms out of the movement and don't twist the weight keep it straight from start 2 finish. Don't twist as you go up then twist as you go down like most people this uses more forearm.Don't pray for lighter burdens but for stronger bodies.

sorry to tell ya but there is no best exercise for anything... it comes down to time and patience..
in regards to this specifically, my bis took ages to start becoming fuller, wider and harder.. and in the end it all came back to the above.... just had to stick it out until I could lift the heavier weights with good form for good amount of reps etc
the fast/slow twitch thing for bis is regards to only lifting light weights is bs (thinks of lou curling 100lb dumbbells in pumping iron *sniff*)

I've heard slow controlled reps and keeping the muscles in tension for longer than 30 seconds a set does wonders for size
Kind of makes sense, I'd imagine the body building bigger glucose stores for that. Gonna try that if my arms stallIntensity, Recovery, Nutrition, Sleep- the only things that matter.
