I read in a little booklet that you don't need to much work on the bi's/tri's because you get enough stimulation from big pushing/pulling movements, so if you work them out to much directly, you can actually see negative results.

So in short one day out of the week working them 2 sets for 7-9. I have followed that since I read it 2 months ago and have been seeing some decent gains.

thats pretty much my attitude too
 
My bis are probably my best body part. I used to do a day of just bis/tris. I believe that I was overtraining them a bit. Now doing a 5x5, I do a few sets of BB curls on fri and I my bis seem to have gained a bit of thickness.

I don't think you should ignore any muscle. All muscles would do better with a bit of direct focus. Its like doing squats for legs, you still need to do direct calf exercises if you really want to develop your calfs.

True about the beach, but it rocks at parties.

It was just that I once had someone walk up to me at the gym and ask what I considered to be my best bodypart. That answer kept the peace and quiet I wanted until he later spotted me having a protein drink and wanted to chat. It turned out that he'd interpreted my answer as something along the lines of 'train smarter not harder'.
 
i think depends on genetics:)

I got pretty good bi's if i work them too much they look like littlebumps that dont belong
