Question about Bicep workout

[Smett]

I've seen little growth in my biceps despite my efforts for the last 6 months or so. I can get a big pump, but i don't think i am working the whole muscle as much as possible. The area closer to my forearm gets very hard and worked extremely well, but the area closer to my shoulder stays pretty soft throughout my workout. I spend about 40-50 minutes on my biceps twice a week and i do a variety of exercises. Close grip, wide grip, hammers... I use cables, bars, ropes... I do palm up with dumbells... I also do a lot of isolating exercises, it changes from workout to workout.

My question is : Is there a specific exercise that will work my upper bicep area?

Adding pullups 4sets x failure has real helped to kick my arms in shape.

[Smett]

do you work back with biceps then?

edit: is that how you got your bench to 340 lbs. brah?

[Smett]

...

Is that not enough? I try to exercise all muscle groups equally. I spend atleast 10 hours in the gym a week.. I always thought that was more than most people who workout..

if anything that's too much was my point.

and yeah, no crap bench is chest but lets see a video of you pressing 340.

just really hard to imagine a guy who spends almost a couple hours
(20% of his time in the gym) on his biceps, benching almost double his bodyweight.

I have video of 315 on my fb... Dont have 340 on vid, last time i maxed was a couple months ago and i went for 355 and failed, but i did get up 335. I always get hounded about this..

I said atleast 10 hours, its usually around 12-14... And its more than double my body weight lmao. 160 x 2 = 320.. Too be fair i weigh 165 now, still more than double :P

and the reason you haven't uploaded said video to your bodyspace is?

what about the reason your supposed 1RM has dropped 20lbs since november?

and yeah thanks for the free math lesson, that just makes it seem even more ridiculous.

Holy moley 155kg bench at 150lbs .. is that some type of commonwealth strength record. Is this stat true or a bit exaggerated..

[Jrahe42]

1% of the world can bench 2x their BW. OP did it by the age of 20. Cell tech abuse?

also 10-14 hours a week? lol bro i workout 5x a week for a total ranging from 4-5 hours. I never do more than 3 things for biceps as well.
More isnt always better my friend

Are you eating enough? Are your biceps not growing at all even though your gaining weight? Make sure your eating enough calories to allow those biceps to grow.

I just have a good bench idunno what it is, i arch my back a lot and don't bounce. I use to compete with deadlifts and squats as well, but i have a cracked L5 and can't do those lifts any more so i just focus on lifting heavy for bench.

Ok, then.

If i were you i would be keen to put up a video and show off a bit, that would keep people quiet. But thats just me.

I just have a lot of energy, also i train for strength and give myself probably a bit more rest time than you or the average lifter.

My weight gain has slowed down a lot since last August.. I eat and eat and eat and lift and lift and lift and then eat some more haha. I'm still consistent in the gym though and am still very motivated, just a lil discouraged.

i train for strength as well.

and your not gonna make the ppl on here happy unless you post a vid. 315 should be sufficient i suppose even tho you claim 340.
