Go as heavy as you can without hurting yourself. For me, skullcrushers have been the best excercise for gaining strength and mass in the triceps. Try supersetting these with close-grip presses and feel the burn! Standing curls and hammer curls are best for developing both heads of the bicep. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

Like the name implies, its like using a hammer. This will also work the forearms a bit. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

I usually look down at the shoulder of the arm i'm curling with to make sure that doesn't shake at all.. and I usually look in the mirror to see if my elbow is moving at all.. I had to curl a bit less to do it this way but seems to target my bicep better... watch the guy in the boflex commercial.. he seems to do it the way i'm talking about.. when he curls that cable or whatever it is... ============ Quoting from jnellie: I HAVE TRIED BUT I JUST CAN NOT SEEM TO GET THAT BURN IN MY BICEP SHOULDNT THEY BE SORE AFTER DOING THE STANDING CURL ........AND OTHER BICEP EXERCISES......... =============
