Good bicep routine Anonymous
Okay, so I'm not getting a lot of results from the curls I'm doing. I curl until I fail every set, but my biceps get fatigued easily. Then the next day I don't feel any DOMS or whatever. It doesn't feel like I pushed myself hard enough.

My tricep routine is pretty good though, and as a result my triceps are noticably bigger than my biceps. Anyone have a good bicep routine? Picture not me, but somewhat related.

If you're just starting out, try doing compound exercises, like seated row, that work more than one muscle group at once (in case of the seated row, back and biceps). As your biceps get stronger, you'll be able to lift more with curls and put on some size. You can do dumbbell curls, hammer curls, barbell curls. 5x5.

Do note: Tricep is the bigger muscle of the arm so it is natural for it to look bigger than the bicep.

Good idea for starting. once you feel up to it you can create a comprehensive bicep intensive routine with bicep curls, cross chests, barbell curls, hammer curls, seated curls, concentration curls, preacher curls, chinups, reverse grip preachers... the list is seemingly endless just be creative and remember to keep your muscles confused, so every couple of weeks change it up a little so you dont adapt and plateau really

Curls for the girls brah.

I can curl 50 lbs, and I haven't done a curl since last December.

On that note, it seems 5x5 is generally the accepted amount for strength training. Why is this?

25 is considered the magic #. although there are plenty of other combos that work
