Yo /fit/

what kind of a ration of biceps to triceps is nice? I get the feeling that my triceps are too big and my biceps too small.

Actually, that's a good proportion. Triceps are the more important of the two. If you're just talking aesthetics here, then you could afford to gain a little bicep.

I myself have a natrual peak so no matter what I do, my triceps are overshadowed by a curlz for da gurlz (inevitable for this thread) look.

the ratio should be 2:3

Yeah my biceps are generally small yet I have that huge horseshoe tricep sticking out. I'm trying to fix this but I can't find a fucking chinup bar that slides into the door and I dread doing bicep curls.

Triceps are majority of the muscles in that area. but from the picture I'd guess your biceps need some workouts.

shitty shoop but I have to admit that I could live with an arm like that. I actually changed my routine recently to split. On Mondays, its my back day

-Deadlift
-Pendlay Rows
-Pull Ups
-Pendlays

So I figure I get a fair bit of bicep through that shit.

I've also started doing curls for gurls which I incorporate a couple times a week.

I swear, biceps are some of the most useless muscles on the body. It's pretty ironic that they're what most people go for when they start lifting.

Dunno, they're pretty handy for carrying shit around.

it's usually the shoulders and traps and forearms doing the work when you're carrying shit around. but i guess biceps are important for lifting shit up in curling motion.

Yeah, those other guys are indispensable too, but biceps are pretty essential for maneuvering your load around/above obstacles, when traversing stairs, and so on.

Triceps SHOULD be 2\3 of the upper arm mass.
To me your proportions look fine, you've got alot of rear delt which would, I assume, imply quite alot of chinups or rows, so I'm assuming your biceps aren't totally neglected.

Your forearms are alright too, they're in proportion, so something like hammer curls wouldn't be super necessary.

Biceps are a very asthetic, but useless muscle for increasing alot of the weight we lift, none the less, for the sake of your elbows, I would say do more curls (throw them in on your leg or bench day, the recovery time is quick as on a tiny 2 headed muscle)

Hammer curls are my prefference, because even though you've got proportional forearms, how many of us started weights to just be adequate?

tl;dr

It's healthy as is, but pre-hab hammer curls for biceps wouldn't go astray.

Personally I used to do biceps after deadlifts and before rows and chinups on back day, purely because they used to overpower (I was a curlfaggot)

nowadays they're alot more balanced thanks to targetted back work.

As for you, if you do them on leg day, before bench on bench day and BEFORE your back workout too (atleast 3 times a week) they should grow relatively quick.
