Quick question on bicep routine

[BrownCat]

For biceps I'm currently doing

3 sets barbell curl
3 sets incline or preacher curl

I was thinking about trying out

3 set of chins (supinated, palms facing me)
3 sets incline curls

I do 3 sets of pull-up on my back day and would like to know if it would be too much for a week.

My split:

day 1: back
day 2: shoulder, tri
day 3: rest
day 4: legs
day 5: chest, bi
day 6: rest
day 7: rest or start again

If you're already doing pull-ups for your back, I wouldn't do them during your arm routine (Even though the grip is changed, the same muscles are being used, for the most part).

This is why I don't concentrate on specific muscle groups...

I dont think close grip chins and wide grip pulls hit the same musle. When doing the chins, concentrate on your arms doing the work.
Your progam looks good to me.

Well I decided to try it today and I felt only biceps and a very minimal amount of work done by my back and that was only my last set. Should I continue or just drop it?

There really are no secret exercises, and everyone responds differently to different exercises. Just pick the exercises you feel hitting the biceps the most. For me its preacher curls.

I had to stop preacher curls even though they're one of my favorites to do. I ended up getting tremendous pain in the ligament or tendon attachmen in the left forearm at the elbow from them.

Ditto. If you're doing preachers, make sure not to go to full extension on the negative. I wouldn't go any farther than 120 degrees.

Me too. I like standing barbell curls (with EX Curl bar, some ppl like the straight bar) and incline bench dumbbell curls.

I agree with your point omegasox....guys with pain from preachers - TRY THIS...I had the same problem,

Adhering to the point omegasox made do one arm DB preachers "HEAVY" after you are good and warm....it will give you a whole new kind of pump !!

Make sure you keep your wrist straight, elbow still and on the negative do not fully extend your arm (this should aleviate the pain).

Make sure the bench is set up so that your arm pit is resting on top and

Squeeze hard and Flex for 3 sec count at the top and "watch em grow"..

hope this helps..
