No bicep soreness?whats the reason

[fatdog123]

Hey guys whats the reason for my biceps not having soreness the day after the workout,i mean every other bodyparts get sore the next day but except my biceps no matter how hard and heavy i train it,can i have a reason to why it doesnt get Sore At all?It makes me think that my bicep isnt growing and stuff

[Erik1995]

Are you really doing the exercises right? (technique) Your muscles doesnt have to get sore.

DOMS doesn't really mean ****, well it hasn't been completely explained. As long as you apply progressional overload its just a matter of time until size comes.

[umop3pisdn]

[fatdog123]

twice a week

In for this also, bicep is the only muscle i have trouble building, i need some answers!

[wogwhisperer]

The only time I get any soreness is when I haven't trained my biceps for maybe a couple weeks and then I restart. Boy do I feel it the next day...

[fatdog123]

yeah but we train it regularly and it hardly even gets any soreness..even if u train it after a couple of weeks and do it regularly after that the soreness not gona be there still..sucks need an answer

This is strange to me, biceps seem to be the easiest to build when you focus on them. You know the rope attachment you put on the cables to do tricep pulldowns? Use that and set the cables to the floor, and curl that. not sure if im explaining well enough, but that gets me the best pump and seems to really tear them up. That, and standing bicep curls till failure.

[Qfire]

Fatdog what is your entire routine? If you have enough compounds such as pullups and rows, you should only need 1 bicep isolation as a beginner. Sounds like your biceps are getting thrashed/overtrained.

Progressional overload is, the increase of strength from workout to workout in weight/reps/sets.

Example for bench press:

Workout 1:
200lbs 5x5
Next session
205lbs 5x5

And so on... Or something like

200lbs 3x8
Next session
200lbs 3x10

How experienced are you for starters?

I highly recommend you do starting strength or stronglifts. It will give you amazing results in strength and size. Key to this workout is recovery for quick progressional overload that means a lot of food and rest.

About your workout, you've got 4 exercise for triceps and chest? Chest is alot larger muscle and triceps so the triceps don't need as much work, also the triceps get worked in all compound exercises for the chest.

And whats your goal strength size or whut?

im doing for 4 mths..i wana gain size.

[Aqualim]

Only 4 months, then get on 5x5 or Starting Strength. It will do wonders to your strength and will help with size as well. If you do Starting Strength, they incorporate Chin-ups and Pull-ups which can help build the biceps - especially if you do close-grip chin-ups till failure. Plus it's a compound movement, so this can also help with size and strength compared to the isolation techniques that you have been doing.

alright with strength routine shld i do then?

[FailCook]

i never get sore on my biceps even though im abusing them alot , they grow normally its just that the muscle itself is small its not like the quads

[Moczy]

I had this problem too, to be honest I thought I was doing it right. But it turned out I wasnt focusing the muscle enough. Don't swing weights up, don't use your back to finish rep 4 (it's too heavy brah). Focus Focus Focus, its all mind to muscle, don't worry about LBS before you have your form down. <--- that was my problem, not saying it is yours, but I was in the same boat and I thought I was doing it right too.

yeah man i tried with perfect form and lesser weight....btw do u still have the problem now?

[krishna335]

U do not need to train biceps twice a week - once a week is good enough in my opinion , because compound movements of the back recruit biceps tremendously. Soreness isnt necessarily an indicator of a good workout. Focus on form , lift intensely n reduce rest intervals between sets to feel a better pump.

[hird]

I dont know how long time you run around looking at the girls between the sets but try to only do it for 30-45sc. And you will feel it the day after, if not, you just eat very well! Cause if you eat very right with the right supplements you wont get very sore.

[CorytheKiD]

Soreness doesn't imply growth.

[mmmason123]

I used to do as much or more bicep training as u but now i cut it down to 2 exercises at the end of my back workout, the most important thing i found was go as slow as u can on the negative! This has done much more for me then 12 excercises a week (6 each session) than the 2 im doing now.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercise...dumbbell-curl( I do 3 working sets, 1 drop set)
http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercise...pe-attachment( 3 working sets, 2 drop sets)

[rnewton4]

My biceps are the only muscle of mine that don't tend to get sore! I mean I get soreness at the elbow/forarm after training biceps, but never the actual bicep.... I use proper form though so I think its just the way it is!

[CorytheKiD]

Progressive overload is the most important aspect of muscle hypertrophy. Read up on it, then apply it to your routine. I can show you an example of a routine with progressive overload if you want.
