Not really, he said he's happy with the 'height' of his arm, which would mean he probably has well developed triceps. His complaint is arm thickness which does come partly from triceps, but since he named them biceps one can assume he meant the brachialisOriginally Posted by JonRambow721

They have everything to do with bi's. Just because you aren't isolating them doesn't mean they aren't being put under heavy stresses, they also give the benefit of making everything else bigger as well.Originally Posted by woodsballa
Face it mostly everyone is unhappy with the size of their biceps, make your arms bigger and stronger through the compounds.
I wouldn't bet the lack of big arms on most guys is because they haven't been doing their curls... try attacking the problem in a different way and come back to what your doing currently after some time away.
