Try this...do straight bar curl...do 3-4 sets with a weight that you can only reach 10 reps on the last set. then do dumbell curls alternating each arm 3-4 sets. then you have your choice of dumb bell concentration curls, curll bar or a machine curl. do this once a week for four weeks see what happens -------------- Life comes by only once....Live it to the fullest!

Atleast from what i've been doing i have gone from curling a measly 95 (one rep max) to 125 in about 3 1/2 months my biceps have gotten fairly large in the last couple of months. Here's exactly what i do.. I do my compounds 1st - Straight Bar curls 4 sets to failure, 2 sets Reverse curls, rest a minute..then come in with the concentration excercises Standing dumbell curls 3 sets to failure., Sitting inclined dumbell curls 2 sets DONE! i only work biceps twice a week Mon Sun. The rest is much needed!! I actually think it is the big key in letting your biceps recouperate and grow. Rest!! I mix it up every now and then (different exercises) Couple of weeks later i'll throw in a light weight high rep workout. I have also gone by the diet plan on here and uped my protein intake to what they recommended and it seems to be helping overall apperance and muscle development.
