WOW! I can't wait to get my curl up!...Geez man...why don't you take some pride in squat, deadlifts or even bench. I know you are looking for personal satisfaction but christ, shoot for a bigger stronger body part.-------------- Baseball is wrong: Man with four balls cannot walk. Jdelts@freetrainers.com |

The only true path to bigger arms to is to attack it as a whole like jdelts stated. Those are all power movements that will put on size all over the place. I mean, who cares about having a strong curl, it's all relative my friend. Good luck.:dumbbell:

funny thing is abotu biceps........i have always called it the dumb muscle group.....if all you do is train it.....then your dumb as well!.....the biceps along with the triceps is designed not to work alone! Its soposed to be used along with the back, shoulders and chest. Thats what go intended, thats why people with big arms also have big back, big chest and shoulders......I mean come on look at jdelts, bb1, mutt......look at their bodies , they ar enot walking bicep curling machines.......besides that 60% of your arms are triceps not biceps, I train triceps more because I use it more( cleans, benching, military, cheerleading) All biceps do for lifts? If you do your back workouts right your bicep will only do like 10% of the work.......but hey its your body, you don't have to take advice from a cheerleader, but hey, now I have almost 19in biceps, and I stick with the basics, I train primary body parts 1st then my arms, thats what they are soposed to be for. Besides you get in a fight......you gonna scare someone by curling them? I think not
btw nice arms mr delts.....hopfully i can cut up one day and look like you, damn these body type genetics! -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn |

Ok guys lets give some constructive criticsm here...LOl but they are right. To grow in the curl you need to train the whole body. My arms and curls are they way they are from heavy shrugs, bent rows, squats and last but def, not least the Deadlift. Try training those and see what happens.:big_smile:-------------- LIFT HEAVY!

Oh I am all that I just need to put a better face on LOL. But seriously, I hate when I see people training arms to get big and then wonder why they do not. In order for a car to run it best you need not only a fine engine, but also a totaly perfect body tranny etc. Same with the body it all ties in together. And J we all know that the Astros will win it all this year! LOL-------------- LIFT HEAVY! BECOME STRONG, LIKE BULL! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com |

i honestly don't get why you guys arn't better. i always watch the Giants games when i can (i'm not the normal 'i hate new york' philly fan). you guys have the talent, theres no doubt about it, but when it comes to game time they just seem like they have no heart. as if the adrenaline is nonexistant. i would like to see them do well just for their own sake. just as long as philly still has the upper hand when they meet again.:laugh:-------------- Get your weight up, kid |
