Biceps?

Ironbod Posts: 71 Joined: 2002/01/18	2002/01/18, 08:39 PM Hey guys, I have a problem with the symmetry of my biceps. My left bicep doesn't seem to have the peak like my right bicep. My right looks great, but my left looks flat when I flex or am doing curls. Any suggestions?

You'll have to work the right a little more (i.e. more reps, heavy weights) to get it caught up to the left. You can check out the other bicep exercises by going to the main menu, then choose FT Exercise Resources. Then, choose Muscle Targeting, then Biceps. Good luck and lift hard!

Also, do dumbbell curls one arm at a time. Start with your small side and do as many reps as you can to failure. When you do the other good looking arm, do it for the same number of reps as you did for the left even if the right arm doesn't hit failure. In the end, if you can't make the left arm look as good as the right, it may be part of your genetics. Look at a picture of Schwarzenegger hitting a double biceps shot. You will notice that one arm has a much better peak than the other.
