Question on Biceps

[brownz]

For biceps I'm currently doing

3 sets barbell curl
3 sets incline or preacher curl

I was thinking about trying out

3 set of chins (supinated, palms facing me)
3 sets incline

I do 3 sets of pull-up on my back day and would like to know if it would be too much for a week.

My split:

day 1: back
day 2: shoulder, tri
day 3: rest
day 4: legs
day 5: chest, bi
day 6: rest
day 7: rest or start again

I don't think it would be too much at all. I do 3 sets of chinups 3X/wk with no problems. What are your reps for each set? Also, I might add another bicep exercise because the chin ups will include your lats as well and those bi's may not be working as hard as they need to be.

Well I decided to try it today with a fairly close grip and I felt mostly my biceps and didn't feel my lats until the last set and barely anything. I felt I had done more work than when I usually do barbell curls.

As for reps, I haven't done these before so I managed to get 2 reps by myself on the first 2 sets and assisted for the rest of the set.

1st set - 12 reps
2nd set - 10 reps
3rd set - 6 reps

So should I continue or go back to my old routine?

i think that that would be an exceptable amount of reps for the bi's
