I've had greater success with higher volume biceps workouts. Usually 8-9 sets does the trick for me.

if your biceps are lagging dont do any bicep isolation movements for a while. do weighted chins and rows. your bis willg et alot big from that.

I will do 2 sets of curls every now and then but that's it for direct bicep work. They get worked plenty from pullups, chinups and rows. Close grip chinups are great for biceps.Originally Posted by TrAiTioR"Franco is pretty smart, but Franco's a child, and when it comes to the day of the contest, I am his father.

Yeah pull ups and chin ups are the best for getting bulging biceps. My friend's an example, he's about 6-6'2 feet tall weights 150lbs and his biceps are 15 1/2'. The idiot doesn't work out his legs though and calf like I tell him to so he looks retarded having 12-14 inch calves and skinny ass legs.

Yep, chins and back work are more than enough for my bis. I was able to curl 135 without any direct bicep work. I dont see anything wrong with blasting your bis with high volume though.

Thanks for the replies.......I think I might just try it both ways, upping the volume for a while, and after that, try doing direct work and adding supinated close-grip pullups to back day.............and up my food intake
