I have had a few weeks on my bicep trainning that I feel like when I train them that I get enough done on them but the next day I dont feel anything like I do when I work my chest tri's or legs.... so I think I am at a sticking point so I tried to shock them with a new routine( bar bell 21's and it burned and felt good,,, the next day I was real sore but not in the biceps,, it was mostly in my upper forearms and I know it was from the hammer curls I did because I worked them real hard,,, I ran the rack on them,, Now my question is if I am not sore the next day,, does this mean that i did not work them hard enough,, or that i am at a sticking point,,, what I am going for is posted on my profile,,, I am going to gain some mass,, thank you all for ur help.....

Soreness the next day is not a true indication of a good training session. You may have overtrained them a tad. How often do you train them?

I felt like that, too, bprice2. I thought, well if I'm not sore, I must have not busted my butt like I thought I did. But what bb1fit mentioned makes a lot of sense. Actually, a lot of times it's the biceps that I feel aren't making progress.

Somtimes people do the movement to fast and the effect of the exersise is not 100%. Don't always rely on the soreness as a guide to a good workout.

One bicep workout that i have been doing goes along with supersets.
Stage rep bar curls 20 seconds a stage: middle, top, bottom.
Immediately followed by
Pull ups super slow (10 seconds up, 4 seconds down) that normally gets me a decent burn
