I read alot of lifting magazine, partly for inspiration, partly for knowledge. Now I know Diesel says most of these are bull**** but I have, from time to time, found some good tips in them.
Anyway.. I've got two conflicting sources of information on bicep size and strength training, and I hope someone might be able to help me out.
One source says that its useless to train biceps more than 12 reps at a time because of the smaller muscles and how they extert themselves turning the training. I took this advice and most of my bicep training has been heavy weights, 6, 8 and 10 reps.
Now I've just read another guy who says he uses the 40 rep method. 2 sets of 20, or 3 of 15, or 4 of 12, depending on your preference. I say, this sounds like bull****! If you can do 20 reps with any weight it's too light!
Any thoughts,
LF
