More changes to my bicep routine

More Changes to my Bicep Routine

Hello All,

There has been another slight modification to my bicep routine since my last post. Last time I talked about substituting preacher curls for straight bar curls, which by the way is working awesome so far. I am definitely very pleased with the pump that it gives. I really feels great after a hard work out. I certainly feel it the next couple of days! I’ve also been making steady gains with the weight. 125 is my heavy set currently and it fells pretty good. 135 is my short term goal. When I hit that I will asses how I feel the preacher curl works v/s the straight bar curl and decide which one to continue with.

Recently I have introduced wrist weights into my inclined dumbbell curls. My progress in this exercise has been very stagnant lately. It was just too big a jump going from 40 to 45 and from 45 to 50. Going up 5 pounds was too much. I needed something to bridge the gap, so I grabbed some wrist weights. 2.5 pounds on each wrist was just what I needed to fill in the blank between 40 and 45. I really wish I had thought of this sooner instead of wasting a lot of time with weight that was either to heavy or not heavy enough. In my opinion, this is a great technique that I strongly recommend to anyone. Next time you hit a plateau, add some wrist weights!

That’s all for now, I can’t wait to hear from you!
