bicep

need tips to get out of my plateau with curls. I can do 50 lbs alternating dumbell curls, 80 lbs on a barbell, and a sad 60 lbs on the preacher (this is all reps of 6-10 and sets of 3). I've been stuck at this for a few months now.

Also, what different muscles are worked between a hammer curl and a regular curl? I can do more weight on the hammer curls.

btw, i work my triceps as much as my biceps and the still put on mass and i have not plateaued on them yet.


thanks

Try doing things like close grip and wide grip barbell curls, chin-ups, and overhand curls. Take a barbell, grip it overhand, keep your elbows behind you, and do curls...cry after each set. Good luck man.

Hammer curls work the biceps brachialis which is the lower bicep muscle while a regular curl works the biceps brachii which is the top biceps muscle. (Im pretty sure I got that right)

one thing you can do is work the negative motion of the curl, so you work on the way down. this helps build muscle and strenth more than a normal curl. what you do is you get a weight that's heavier than what you can do on curl, then youbring it up, you place you arms on a swiss ball, you will probably need to lean back to get the weight up, then you allow your arms to go down, but you do so very slowly.

^don't understand what u are talking about

Heres a site all about building biceps, good luck

im just saying that it'll give you a better work out if you work on the way down of the curl rather than the way up. just start from the top with a heavy weight and fight it all the way down, repeat.

^got it, thanks
