Some people have to face the facts that they're going to have a certain body part which will lag behind others. Regardless on how good your diet and training form is.

I've read so many posts in regards to bicep workouts as mine are my weakest point also. I've tried 4-8 weeks of doing different forms of workouts and alas, no improvement.

The rest of my body is growing fine, it's just my bis that are struggling. I think in many cases it's a genetic issue. But then you have stubborn fucks on here that just tell you to eat more. Thanks for the advice fuck face, but if the rest of my body is growing at a nice pace, I'm sure it's not the diet side of things.

Some like to tell you you're over training, some say you're not training hard enough.

Search for 'biceps' in this forum and have a look at peoples suggestions. Do what I've done and try most of them. See what works for you. Nothing to this day has worked for me.

Keep us updated.

Whoah, Whoah, whoah. You don't squat squat 300 for 4 sets of 10 and deadlift 205. That's not possible unless you are quarter squatting.

You absolutely HAVE to go all the way down ass to ankles when you squat. Second, I'll just be honest with you, your deadlift is incredibly, incredibly weak.

I'd like to see your training split, but I think you should really be doing the 5x5.

If you can deadlift 500-600 and do heavy strict JS barbell rows with 225-275 for sets of 5-10, then all you need to do is about 4 sets total for biceps - 2 sets of heavy barbell curls and 2 sets of some other curl.

How much do you squat ass to ankles GDSGFT? How much do you deadlift?

Well, my 130lb wife can do more than that. So I'd quit worrying about biceps, and start worrying about squatting and deadlifting.

And she's pregnant, too!

BTW, how is the little lady?

 

[AnimalMass]

She's good. Yeah, I should have said she could do that several months ago.

Biceps

Flex your biceps. How much space is left between your biceps and the crease in your arm? No space=long muscle belly. 1 finger space= average muscle belly. 2 finger space or more = short muscle belly. That should tell you your potential for growth. If you have long muscle bellies you can look forward to big biceps that may not peak real high, unless youre Arnold or something. If you have average muscle bellies, then you should have a decent peak and a biceps about the size of an average russet potato. If you have a short biceps, you may get a high peak, but small bicepslike a tomato maybe. Its important to know what your genetic potential is before you diagnose yourself as having a training problem. If its truly a training problem its usually not an exercise selection problem as biceps are pretty easy to work. Its often a weight problem. My thoughts? Most people lift too much weight when curling. Look, a muscle the size of a potato doesnt curl 70lbs dumbbells without mucho assistance from Mr. Momentum. Not saying thats you, but if it is, try cutting your weight down, maybe even in half, and go for the feel with absolutely text book perfect form. Make it look good when you curl.

Bro, I'll tell you like this; my arms also quit growing a while back. What I did was dropped my arm day. Well I depend on my heavy chest and back routines to work my arms and it works; new growth started and they are as big as ever, 18.5" and I'm a tall guy like you, 6'0", 230lbs.

AnimalMass nailed it.

See? This is what I'm talking about with the disproportionate squat to deadlift ratio. Like AM said, that is just not physically possible unless you are doing quarter squats.

We're not trying to be dicks here, its just not possible UNLESS your deadlift is being limited by an injury, or some other unusual circumstance.

You guys need to learn how to squat properly! It will improve your training, and your longevity. You will not be training long if you're doing quarter squats...they are knee-destroyers.
