Favourite Bicep workout?

[Dee-Zy]

chins works bis as a secondary muscle.

Bis exercises are much better because it works them as a PRIMARY muscle.

Replace chins with pullups and you got it down pat ... but when I do chins I always feel it in my biceps a LOT more than in my back, even when I do other back workouts in the same day. Not to mention, the hypertrophy in my biceps was quite a bit more noticeable than in my back.

That's because you are do'N em wrong or your biceps are too weak.

A back workout, even if done properly, is going to exhaust or come close to exhausting your biceps too. I only do a few biceps sets to finish off my bis after a back workout.

Probably the latter. I have done primarily olympic lifting for the last 3 years but no bicep training.

Agreed with Bigforearms. Another thing, the fact that it is multijoint will cause a larger surge in GH and testosterone, which in itself will help promote size building.

I don't know what it is called but there is one bicep one a frined told me about where you start at the hip, and then curl towards your chest on the opposite side, and you hold for a second or two and the release. Anyone know what it is called?

Also I do the normal curls and the ones where you tweak at the top. Can anyone suggest any other ways (w/ descriptions, # of repetitions and sets) to build mass? I usually do 1 set of 20 normal biceps curls, with 15 lbs but that hasn't seemed to help me too much

^Dude, have you even READ this whole thread? READ THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE ASKING ALREADY ANSWERED QUESTIONS. 5-12 reps are better for size building, with 5-10 sets.
