[@amiracle3390]

@@bonquva ya same, if I started my workout with bicep curls I could used 45’s or maybe even push 50’s for my sets, but my arms would be burnt for more compound movements so I just go to failure with 40’s and make my last set a drop set, biceps are killed that way. Imo finishing with a drop set to failure is the best way to fully burn out a muscle and get the most from your workout

I’ve been doing back/triceps, legs/biceps, chest/shoulders. I’ve been really enjoying this split. I start every muscle group with a compound lift then do reverse pyramids for all my accessories.

[@aroundandround]

Bicep curls is one exercise totally worth adding to programs like StrongLifts or Starting Strength that emphasize lower body growth much more than upper and biceps in particular very little even as a secondary muscle.

[@magicjohnsins]

chin ups are in the program and it doesn't include any isolation exercises for a reason

[@_fives5_813]

@@magicjohnsins chin ups are a supplementary to the programs. Stronglifts removed chins and dips from the main program ages ago for no reason

[@magicjohnsins]

@@_fives5_813 "for no reason" is right. They're supplementary in SS, but they should be mandatory. Acquiring nervous system adaptations for compound training is almost a prerequisite to effective isolation work.

From a skinny guy that went from 12 and half inch arms outta high school to 17 inch arms at 41 TAKE ONE DAY TO WORK BICEPS AND TRICEPS. Do a set of biceps then a set of triceps right after, high reps lower weight. Bounce back and forth with little rest in between. Works like magic.

I feel fortunate that I was able the build muscle without Roids Lucky genetics and figured out what worked for me. It’s such a compliment when people in the gym accuse you of taking steroids. Now in my advanced age of 55 I generally only train to maintain 20 mins a day with a few weights at home since Covid. Lost my license ages ago which is a blessing because I’m forced to ride my bike everywhere and train my legs better with a cardio. I’m not sure I want my license back lol Train since I was 19 have been a real positive in my life. It started when I was 15 and Arnold in the 80’s said on tv you could start training by using just a can(full) of baked beans. So I did. The worse injury(muscle tear) I even had in the gym was attempting to pull my towel out of the pullies of the weight machine lol

Anyone who wants bigger arms should still be doing compounds and isolation exercises but try this: Bench Press -> close grip Bench Weighted/bodyweight Pullups -> Weighted/bodyweight Chin-ups Lat Pulldown -> Underhand Lat Pulldown Chest Dips -> Tricep dips Of course I can go on and on but y’all get the point. Point is modify exercises to include more arms.

[@Thomas-zt7dm]

Ya I feel like for most people it boils down to expecting more than they should from their training too.

[@gurnblanston5000]

Lying barbell pullover-skullcrush type work, machines and reverse grip benching can also be of great benefit. Work hard, lots of water, eat right, have strong heart and core works. Listen to your body and you might be overworking as well, tendonitis an such. Hammer curls or one arm rows, behind the back barbell wrist curls, reverse grip curl with thumb can be added if extra energy is available.

[@CM-ky5go]

@@froesespYou’re dumb and don’t understand how muscles work. First off, 3 sets is nothing, so you’re barely training your arms each day. That’s why they aren’t sore at all. You’re barely doing any volume at all. You’re better off actually getting a good workout for your arms twice a week with progressive overload to 80-90% failure with many good working sets rather than your weak ass 3 sets per day. It’s just dumb what you’re doing.

[@Danj1095]

I personally hit my major targets first when I'm fresh like chest presses etc. and work down my arms for bicep and forearms, and I'll usually rotate around back to chest fly or shoulder presses and then make another solid pass at ez bar curls. I feel the second go I won't be able to target as cleanly as with concentration curls, but I can still manage to get an ez bar up and down with too much sway even at the end of a workout.

[@ylsfad3720]

Correct me if i’m wrong but by hitting biceps after back, they’ve been through a lot of movements already and would have gotten a decent workout and hitting 1-2 types of curls (for ex preacher curls and hammer curls) at the end would actually be better than hitting em before back? Arnold split is superior anyways

Lat pull downs hit your biceps. I don’t know if I’ve heard anyone say rows don’t hit the biceps at all; I never feel biceps much on rows (I’m not sure if I even feel them at all) but I thought they are supposed to play a small role. I would expect a better biceps workout with chin-ups or at least reverse grip pull downs though.
