I thought you out me on block, you're so cute you couldn't resist me lol
I out down the mod wand GOT, say what you were afraid to say before. We are on equal footing now. It's funny all that muscle and you're afraid of a n00bie like me?
I forgot...let me SQUEEZE the muscle. Yea bros, I got dem mad gainz from SQUEEZING the muscle. Screw the weight on the bar it's about squeezing, and good form lol
afraid of what?
nobody said it's not about the weight on the bar. if you read my posts you would see that I said use a weight that's challenging you to get 12 reps with good form, allowing you to really contract the targeted muscle.
you're sitting here trying to shoot down all my advice, but you've failed to post any pictures to show us you actually know what the fuck you are talking about. you can keep making excuses for not posting pictures of your physique but your credibility sucks. prove to use that you have built a great physique and then people can take your advice seriously. oh wait, you cant do that. my physique speaks for itself, so no need to keep trying to discount my advice. go away little guy
The boogey man?
Prove to us I have a great physique? The only thing your pictures prove is you can be borderline clueless with training and gear and get a good physique. I'm discounting your advice on its merits not based on your physique but you'll understand that someday. Good morning sweet prince, I'm about to go and masturbate bc squeezing the muscle will get me big and ripped like you big guy.
What works for one person might not work for u, why knock sbout squeezing the muscle and lighten up the weight abit to get good contraction, seems like when I took that advice I am starting to put size on my stubborn arms
Matt, the best thing i ever did for my arms, is squeeze them at the point of contraction, use a weight like GOT said that you can get 10-12 reps out of, dont make it light because you still want that muscle working, but those biceps man, squeeze the shit out of then, and when you get to the top of the movement curl your wrist outward to get an even better contraction. Watch the way Dorin Yates used to train and how he trains his clients with his HIT program, squeeze and contraction has everything to do with it
Supinated wrist activates bicep. ^^ make sure you put pinky towards you and palm is up at top of your curl. You still need to do hammers to hit you brachialis as well tho.
Yes absolutely, Im not saying to only do those, hammer curls are awesome, as well as BB curls, curls with an overhand grip, whatever. The MAIN reason people have a hard time making their biceps grow, is using weight that is much to heavy, and not understanding the proper form needed to activate the muscle during the exercise. I see it ALL the time guys swinging weight around using more shoulder during the exercise than bicep, the shoulder should not move nor should the elbow, the weight needs to be pulled up with the bicep and squeezed at the top to achieve full range of motion. You also want to control the weight down as well and not just let it drop, use a nice controled negative and then power up, don't forget the negative, that plays a huge role in things.

I'm not advocating 'swinging' the weights uncontrollably but another function of the biceps besides supinating the wrist and balancing the action of the triceps is shoulder extension. The triceps and biceps actually stretch over two joints: the elbow and shoulder. This means that shoulder extension and movement is warranted for full ROM.
I have swung heavy weights up in the past so I can have heavy weight for a slow negative. I personally don't think swinging heavier weights than you can handle is such a bad thing for gaining strength. Either way, bodybuilders will lift different than powerlifters and vice versa.
Why would anyone ever want to lift heavy or get big muscles and ruin their joints anyways? I mean really. Why can't you guys just love yourself for who you are.
