Biceps

[twick]

Iwas talking to a former body builder about bicep workouts and he told me to lower my wight and increase the reps so i now do this with standing curls
40 pounds alltogether

1x30 reps

2x20 reps

3x15 reps

4x10 reps

5x10 reps

then i do isolation curls

1x10 reps

2x5 reps

3x5 reps

then i do 2 sets of ten cheat curls i have really good form exept on cheat curls. I was wondering if i am doing any good with this workout or should i try somthing else.

This seems to work the best for me also, that workout just looks like TOO many reps.

i dunno abt u, but i do a warm up set of 35, then 2 sets of 85 followed by a 95 till i fail

I don't think that light weight will make you grow. Definition yes, but growth no. You need heave weight with lox reps. I would say no more than 8 reps but more like 6. Do 4x6 and 4x8 on everything and I think it will work. Also, cheat curls are good for me.

you dont get defined from doing high rep stuff, unless its literally hundreds of reps, an many exercises - then it would because it would be closer to cardio - cardio and reducing calories being the best way to get defined

theres far too many sets in that workout - you could possibly have 10 sets tops if your biceps were a weak point an you wanted to do some workouts solely for them - normally just a couple of sets would do

If you are doing a 5 day split with biceps once a week, I don't think that a couple of sets will do. If you are working biceps three days a week, I see your point. I do biceps on friday and I do at least 16 sets with medium to heavy weight.
