My gains are pretty good so far.
My biceps for example have put some size on both flexed and unflexed.
PROBLEM:
When flexed, it seems that my bi is growing "around" in a way that I am gaining most of the mass close to the armpit.
I'm sure people know what I mean. I have a "shorter" bi that is wider rather than longer.
I do a variety of curls including hammer and I do not overtrain.
Any exercise recommendations for length of bis and/or height when flexed?? Or is this fairly normal. I can only really notice when I look at the "inside' of my flexed arm.

If I correctly understand what you are talking about doing preacher curls with a Ez bar then dumbbells helped me gain a around the inside of my elbow.

It's all about genetics, man. Your biceps are your biceps. You cannot change their shape, you can only change their size. The reason that it seems to be changing shape is because it's getting bigger and you are seeing parts of your bicep that you never have seen before.

Although the shape is predetermined by genetics, you can try to target the outer biceps with close grip cambered bar curls. For height try incline db curls or even lying db curls.

That's actually questionable. It is possible, but many say that it is not true.Originally posted by GoGators
