When i flex my bicep it doesn't go up too high...i have a decent size bicep, but when i bend my arm up before i flex, thats as big as it gets. Why is this?? I can feel myself flexing hard when i flex, but it doesn't go hardly higher at all.
My friend's bicep goes like an inch or something higher when he flexes, and it makes it look a lot bigger, but I know my bicep is bigger. Does anybody know why this is happening??

its just the shape of your muscle. do you have long arms? thats not uncommon in people with long arms. also, try preacher curls as they usually help to develop more of a peak shape.

Peak is all genetic.
make sure you work both heads of the bicep

No it isn't. Genetics help, but so do exercises.Originally Posted by h0ckeyfreek20
Concentration curls for peak.
Preacher Curls for length.

no it is mostly genetics but you can put on a little peak with preachers and concentrations.

And When doing concentration curls and preacher curls, make each set last longer than 40 seconds... it is hard, but it helps to make your peak higher
