haha no. My biceps have always been one of my stronger muscles, even though i don't work them much. And i always curl on the bench press

Also sneakyz is right, I also read an article that people on average had the same or more bicep growth doing chins rather than curls.

I think people generally use their biceps more in everyday life compared to lats which would explain why a lot of people find chin-ups easier.
I'm not surprised chins work your biceps more than curls. Too bad my biceps are so tiny compared to my lats


Lats are so much bigger and more useful :D Not to mention make your torso look awesome.

Yeah I wouldn't mind a big pair of guns to go with the lats though


Yeah that 50 cal looks nice on top of a tank...but without the 50 cal ITS STILL A FUCKING TANK ^_^

Who wants to look like a T-rex though. A body that says RAWR and arms that say mewmew.

I haven't done a single curl in like 2-3 years, and my arms are probably my weakest body part.

I can still kick you and fucking break your face :D

Maybe i'm just lucky but i haven't seriously worked on my arms in years and they look good. Oly lifting takes care of everything...even the things it doesnt work!

They call them compound lifts for a reason ^^. Also I have read studies that show that lifts such as squats will even increase upper-body size, because squats put such of a strain on your body, it raises your testosterone levels. That should encourage the guys who just want to work upper-body

Idd. Dips and chins are just arms, biceps and triceps, everyone got those, you just push and pull whereas pullups require obliques (how often do you use those in your everyday life?) and an actual measure of technique.

What? Afaik, chin-ups and pull-ups use basically all the same muscles. I don't see how pull-ups require more technique than chin-ups... I do both interchangeably and they're basically the same exercises to me.

Dunno how you're doing them but it's definitely alot more backmuscle and lats for me (meant lats not obliques btw). Close grip I can understand, but wide is a completely different lift alltogether.

I use a medium grip for both chins and pulls, maybe 1.2-1.5 times shoulder width. I agree that wide grip pull-ups are completely different beasts.. but have you ever tried wide grip chin-ups? Can't really compare different grip widths imo

How can one honestly expect their biceps to be big, when their legs are toothpicks?

fuck curls, I pull 4 plates all day

and the fitness.... w/e it is at the Y asked me to do lighter deadlifts because it feels like an earthquake downstairs when I drop it from my knees. How about not putting the gym on the 2nd floor and get me a platform, I'm gonna pull 5plates before 2013 bitches.

Same thing happens at my gym. For some reason (probably so girls won't get intimidated when they walk in) they decided to switch everything around at the start of this year to having the weights upstairs and cardio stuff downstairs. Now if you're downstairs and someone drops a heavy weight above you it's pretty damn loud.

Plenty of people deadlift at my gym although there's not many really heavy ones. There's one guy who does about 160kg ish, then a few around my level doing about 130, then a heap of people <100 kg. Every now and then someone will be doing cleans or snatches, although those guys usually train in the morning when noone else is around.
Only a fool would die laughing. I was a fool.

My press hasn't improved in 3 weeks. I started at 25 kg 3 x 5 without any trouble; next work-out I was nearly able to do 30 3 x 5. Now after 2.5 weeks I'm still unable to do more than 30 3 x 5.
I've watched
and I think I'm doing it as I'm supposed to, my strength just isn't increasing.

Squats have improved nearly 40% though. Deadlift, bench press and power cleans have improved as well.


You cannot increase the weight by 5kg on the Press, it will never work. SS/SL want you to microload, so 2,5kg increases are the heighest you should ever do, preferably less. You simply need 1,25kg plates. For smaller increases, you may just be creative, there is a lot of stuff you can hang on a barbell.

Anyway. I just propose to start fresh 20kg 5x5; 22,5kg 5x5 25kg 5x5 27,5kg 5x5, 30kg 5x5. That way your actual goal is not even two weeks away, and I am 100% certain that you can do it then.

Yeah, I'm gonna second what malinor did. Even on novice gains I would struggle with 5lb increases. I'm on intermediate now and 2.5lb increases are giving me trouble as well, but I'm still progessing. (those are total increases, I used 2.5lb plates and am on 1.25lb plates now).

I spent 50 bucks on apt website, a couple of years ago. I got a pair of 3/4 lb, pair of 1/4lb, pair of 1/2 lb, and a pair of 1 lb. Fractional weights really help, if you want to see linear progress.

I think doing one exercise is totally fine. But some people do 3 or 4 exercises just for biceps. Even so called "experts" make routines like this, and I think its just flat out stupid unless you're a professional bodybuilder with great genetics.
