I prefer 0 sets 0 reps.

Instead concentrate on core movements, heavy deads, pulls, rows @90deg 3 x per week. Also push, heavy bench, over head press and your arms will grow.

If you realy feel the need to train them, simple curls, no more then 3 sets/ week reps of 8 or so. That's it.

Mate I think we have a little bit of an understanding going on. sorry. I do deadlifts, bench presses, squats etc etc and I was only curios which is the best way to isolate biceps when it comes to training them specifically. I do compound lifts, etc but I was just curios of which is the best way to hit biceps either with very heavy weight at 5X5 or less weight and more reps. thanks hope its ok now

With all the pulling you are doing, if you really feel the need to train them, simple barbell curls, no more then 3 sets/ week reps of 8 or so. That's it.
