8 Reasons Your Biceps Are NOT Growing

[@sabapavlik5510]

Here it is: 0:28 - You are not treating the biceps like other muscles 2:09 - Not mixing your bicep exercises 3:39 - Not starting your arm workouts 5:41 - Doing Cheat reps 6:45 - Diet (you must do calorie-controlled surplus for muscle growth) 8:00 - Nutrient timing is not a good idea, get enough protein throughout the day 8:54 - Doing too much cardio

Great advice on growing bigger biceps. I find it probably most beneficial when you talked about targeting both the long head and short head of the biceps and hitting them in the 6-10 rep range while doing cheating reps once in a while. Keep up the informative videos 👍

[@gramozosss1]

3:22 is wrong because we all know incline dumbbell curls hit long head not short head.

I had the same problem after about a year in, I restructured my program to focus on arms(not just biceps, but still prioritizing them), and it worked like crazy. Here’s the routine. Sunday-Chest/Shoulders Monday AM-Back Monday PM- Arm Workout #1 (Bicep & Tricep) Tuesday-Legs Wednesday-Complete Arm Day Thursday-Upper Body (minus arms) Friday AM-Lower Body Friday PM-Arm Workout #2 (Bicep & Tricep) Hope it helps, I got measurable gains after two 6 week Mesocycles. Make sure nutrition is on point and deload between cycles.

Another good thing to add is descending or strip sets. Do as many as you can with heavy weight then drop 25% and do as many as you can with that weight. Some even drop a third time. I would save this for your last 2 sets per exercise and not every exercise that day. 💪🏼

You dont need to place a heavy load on your biceps but you do have to progressively overload. Less stress on tendon and more on muscle. Figure out if you get stimulus from low reps or high reps.

[@roncerjani9063]

Neither actually. Did 6-8 reps with heavy weight, 15-18 with light weight, superset with triceps, trained to failure, trained all angels, did dropsets, did negative reps. Nothing. Added weight, it went all to the belly, even though it was mostly natural food full of protein, carbs and fiber. Nothing. Bad genetics play a much bigger role than fitness you tubers want to make you believe.

[@yikesvikes]

The problem I have, is chronic tendonitis in my left elbow. Nothing seems to help. I was advised to take a few months off, to completely rest the tendons (My doctor said that the only way to heal the inflammation was to rest the arm - repetitive motion was the problem.) However, this has not proven to be true. The tendons were painful during the very first rep.... I lowered the the amount weight I was using, and while I could do more reps, with less pain, by the second or 3rd set, the elbow is quite sore. I use a compression sleeve, and this helps as well, but overall, nothing seems to help.

[@davidwelday3276]

I'm with you, at 56 if I start curling more than a 20 lb dumbell I risk tendonitis which basically ruins life. Its no help to work out if you can't get under your car and turn a wrench

Hello! A question for you or anyone in the know. I love Cycling. I have a trainer at home and love to get out and go full gas every time the weather is good. I haven’t done weights for a decade.

Muscles can only grow once there stimulated, you'll know when to stop once you complete a full rep, I suggest doing 2 reps of 5s with 40lbs weights, but if your trying to look ripped? Use a lighter weights up to 15pbs and do 10 sets of 10 which equals 100 once complete.

1 question : and after doing the overloading cycle what is after? For example 65lbs @6-10 rep then 85lbs @6-7 rep then 85lbs@ 9-10 rep then? my question is... We continue with? Not sure 90lbs 95lbs @ 6-10 ?

So do I have to gain weight to grow muscles? I mean I know bodybuilders usually use Bulking and Shredding method, I actually never used it. Maybe I was just scared to have bigger belly. I'm like 5'9 and 75kg-76kg(165lbs 168lbs) And trying to keep my weight like that. I mean when I see I'm going down from 165 lbs than I eat more and go up to 168, than go down and up like 3-4lbs stable. Maybe is that why I dont gain any centimeters on my arms? besides newbie muscles? I mean should I go to like 180lbs and stay there for a week or two than return back to 165 lbs?
