    Bi's

    when you bulk how many sets do you do for bi's? Ive read some training logs on here and lots of them dont include bi exercises doing bulks...

    But for some reason iv never had huuge bi's and i think it was because i was doing to many sets. I used to do like 16+ dont remember exactly but it was way to much.
    Iv been bulking for about a month now and i was doing 9sets, but today i was pulling alot of weight for back, and noticed my bi's got hit pretty good after i finished up my back routine, so i took out 3 sets of french curls and just did 3sets of BB curls, and 3 sets isolation hammers, and my arms still felt like they were ganan fall off....
    Could that still be to many sets for my bis to grow accordingly?

    a lot of people like to stick with compound exercises. they are the best muscle builders.

    i thought french press=skull crushers and skull crushers work your triceps.

    so why would you take out french press, it doesn't target your bis.

    No, that would be a reverse curl, I believe.

    French curl/press is a tricep exercise

    :withstupi
    Out of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
