I havent seen my biceps improve in size nor strength for a while now while my other muscles like chest and legs are improving preety well.

Heres my routine
Biceps/abs/legs
Chest/triceps/shoulders/delts
Rest day
Repeat

I do this for biceps
4 sets of curls - 30lb db
4 sets of hammer curls - 30lb db
4 sets of reverse curls = 15lb db

I do eat a lot and keep my protein at around 200g. I'm 6'4 and 195-200lb

your biceps will grow if you progress on a movement that incorporates them

Are you adding weight/reps to your curls every session? Probably not.

Your routine is fucking stupid. You don't train your back, and compound back movements that incorporate the biceps like rows and chins are where you're going to make your bicep gains, provided you progress in weight or reps

So I should do curls like this?
20 lb
25 lb
30 lb
and then do barbell rows?

Let's say you do 4 sets of 10 on your curls one session

The next session aim to do 4 sets of more than ten OR 4 sets of 10 at a higher weight.

That's what I mean by progression. If you're capable of 4 sets of 30lbs, then why start at 20??

Train back before you do biceps. Your routine is extremely bad and I suggest finding one made by someone who knows what they're doing. I get the feeling an upper lower split is what you want.

Ideally as a beginner you'd want to do full body 3x a week but I won't try to convince you

Do some research before you post again

You'd be better off with a standard upper/lower split instead of what you're doing now.

On your biceps day, try
Pullups
Barbell rows
Barbell curls
>>
Would this work?


M - biceps/back/abs
T - Chest/Shoulder/Deltoid/tricep
W - Off
T - Legs
F - biceps/back/abs
S - Chest/Shoulder/Deltoid/tricep
S - Off

No. Just find an upper/lower split

>>39840917
That's a ppl with legs only once a week. Find a ppl or upper lower split designed for beginners. Don't make your own routine
