Dumbell Incline Curl

[GdupM6]

I recently started doing this, and my biceps are sore as hell. Do alot of you guys include this in your bicep exercise? What are some other really effective bicep exercises that you guys do?

barbell curls, db curls, incline curls, preacher curls...
bread and butter of bicep exercises

One week I will do Incline DB curl and switch it the next week to Incline DB Hammer curls.

Depends on your goals for biceps development.

A lot of people will tell you to treat the biceps as a whole muscle, but you can stress certain parts of the biceps with diff. exercises...i.e. outer biceps, inner biceps, peak, etc...

My best bicep development has been when I took biceps outta the split and concentrated more on back, deads, chins, rows...

Incline DB curls stress my bis more than any other bi movement. They put the bis in the most stretched position of any bi movement, and this is why they get so sore.

This is somewhat true for me as well. The bigger your back the bigger you bis. Look at Alc that freakin monster lol.

Direct bi movements to have a place in a well designed training program, but endless sets and days devoted to them are pointless unless you are an elite athlete.

im on 5x5 at the mo,if i use chins for my main bicep 5x5 ,what grip is best,wide ,shoulder width or close?

Reverse chin-ups with a close grip (add some weight to a belt if you can) along with inclined dumbell curls it's a very solid routine specially if you work on the 4x8 reps area for each exercise.

And I also agree that favouring the back workouts is the way to go if you want great bis.

Preacher curls and barbell curls work best for me. They give me size, strength, and a good pump.
