 Biceps?


What are the ladies here using for bicep exercises?

Here's the scenario...... My tri's seem to be 4 x stronger than my bi's. Always have a good workout on tri's. I find my bi's to be extremely weak and not gaining size as fast as tri's do. Perhaps I'm favoring working tri's harder because they are so strong.

My big two on bi's right now are barbell curls and cable preachers. 5 sets each starting at 10 reps inceasing weight on each set maxing on the 5th set at about 4-6 reps.

Suggestions? Execises I should be adding?

Thanks in advance for any input.

If you trying to gain more size in your biceps I would stick primarly to free weights.
for example throw in 2 exercises of either standing barbell curls(sub. for EZ curl bar), incline alternating dumbell curls, hammer DB curls,preacher curls without the cable, one arm preacher curl, concentration curls(although I rarely do these). do 4 sets of each aiming for 4-8 reps, then on your last set do a drop set of some type of cable curl, 10-12 reps. THIS should get leave them burning and sore the next day!

A fun variation on the incline alternating dumbell curls is the Zane Curl, in which you hold the dumbell in the UP position between reps.

I'm using cable on preachers because my left bi is behind my right. Same for barbell curls as opposed to dumbbells. Trying to equalize them otherwise I know my right will far exceed my left.

I've used the drop sets and although I get a good burn it doesn't seem to result in growth. I can get just as much a burn increasing weight and maxing out.
