| i seperate my curls in upper and lower..with easy bar do concentrated with light then heavy..(preacher) finish off with a burn out with the double rope.. then i try to add a different move each time..(just something i see someone else do or youtube) works pretty good..starting to see vascularity since im cutting also... im finding changing time of day and duration intensity is working best.. what ya think thanks Terry Alpah Pack |

| below is a read on using cables for biceps...from ronnie coleman.. point being the rope cables are good and or some other variation of cable curl..not just bar/dumbell .. To be honest, biceps have been one of the easiest bodyparts to develop. Thus, in line with the 'you can learn best from the hardgainer' school of thought, the question might be asked, what can a fortunate Ronnie Coleman with 22 inch guns teach a beginner about building trophy - winning biceps? Quite a bit, I think, as all of my training routines have been constructed after a great deal of thought. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debunking the Barbell Curl -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I never advocate the use of the exercises cited as the kind of mass building for the biceps: the barbell curl. Like everybody else, when I started bodybuilding, I waned bigger biceps, even tough I am blessed with good arm genetics. I though the route to follow was doing barbell curls, but my early experiences with that exercise taught me that although barbell curls allowed me to use heavy weights, the muscular stress caused by the poundage was in no way being applied 100% to my biceps. I believe that the heavy weights employed for barbell curls encourage the user to cheat through the exercise, perhaps without even knowing it. A person tends to bend the upper torso to let the momentum of the weight take over. In addition, instead of the biceps powering out the reps, forearms and front delts are called into play too much. You must analyze what kind of development you are aiming for with your biceps training. You should seek full development in terms of thickness and fullness of your biceps muscle attachments, plus optimum accentuation of the biceps peaks. Those aspects are best achieved by exercises that isolate the biceps - ones that allow you to put maximum stress on your biceps throughout the completion of each set. Cheating on barbell curls means that at certain times during the course of a rep, the biceps are given an easy, if not free, ride. Based on the preceding thought, I came to the conclusion that cable work provided the required dual facilities of isolating the biceps while allowing them to be under constant stress throughout the completion of each set. The latter element is particularly difficult to attain during the negative (descending) part of each rep. This is where cables score heavily. With cables, you can maintain muscular stress during the negative phase to an extent that is not mechanically possible with free weights. Many authorities claim that cables are solely for advanced bodybuilders, in order 'to refine what they've already built.' I don't agree. Cable work allows you to attack the biceps with 100% concentration, and that sort of exclusive application will make the biceps grow. Muscle fibers don't know whether the stress is being applied by free weights or a machine; they respond only to the level of muscular stress being placed on them. Whatever does the job, will do the job! |

| What do you mean by "upper" and "lower"? You know you can't add stress to part of the biceps any more than any other part, right? -EK | ||

| Cables are great. I find ropes are good to throw in every now and then - but my favourite has to be a straight bar (a cambered one is fine if your wrists don't like straight). Take it so it's right on your waist, lean back slightly to prevent you from using your back to cheat and pivot your arms into your hips to prevent movement. There isn't any reason to not EZ bar curl though. You might consider supersetting between a strict isolation exercise then going to the EZ bar curls, where you will have more back/forearms to assist, allowing you to take the bicep to true failure. |

| If the goal is bigger arms, then remember triceps make up 70% of your arm mass. Serge Nubret's arm workout is boss. VERY BRUTAL! | ||

| Its weird but i find working my bi's the easiest and they seem to be getting the best results and gains overall from the rest of my body. Whats worked for me is doing GVT 10x10 with BB and aslo i have found that cables give the best pump and stress to my bi's. When i do BB curls i lean forward and and bring out my arms slighty from my body, this i found totally concentrates on the bi and removes and cheating with back momentum. |

| Your biceps consists of two muscles. Two small muscles. Maybe you should consider not doing that much at all. Its not necesary at all. | ||

| ^^No. Your biceps are ONE muscle with a common point of origin and insertion. They contract together, and entirely, or not at all. -EK | ||

| @Eknight The term biceps brachii is a Latin phrase meaning "two-headed [muscle] of the arm", in reference to the fact that the muscle consists of two bundles of muscle, each with its own origin, sharing a common insertion point near the elbow joint. Its really a question how you think about it, you can say both. But in physiotherapy the ground rule is: Biceps - two muscles. Tricep - three muscles. Quadriceps - four muscles. |

| Lol absolutely NOT. My anatomy and physiology professors would have failed me if I made that statement. The quads actually have four separate muscles (the the vastus muscles and the rectus femoris). Four muscles, not one. The biceps is ONE muscle with two heads. It originates on the scapula and forms one single muscle belly with a point of insertion on the radial tuberosity. Who has been teaching you anatomy? -EK | ||
