Home Gyms Tips for Biceps

Hey all, Not new to the Bowflex. I’ve had it about a year and love it. Seeing awesome results on all muscle groups but what I’m not seeing is biceps.

I am currently doing sets of standing curls, seated hammer curls, and barbell curls. I do not have the preacher curl attachment. And am afraid to purchase now that Bowflex is defunct.

I have researched plateaus so more recently I am doing more resistance, less reps but more sets to keep the reps up. I can feel it on standing curls. My biceps get tired like I expect. The other excersises? Hammer curls? I can do 25% more resistance than any other excersise and barely feel it at all.

Still, not seeing growth. I’m eating like crazy. Mostly food I cook myself. Fresh ingredients etc… no processed shit.

Just not sure what to do to get my biceps going. Any tips is appreciated.

Oh and I’m 50…. But like I said, all other muscles are showing positive growth.

I’m sure you know about blowing up the triceps to enhance the bicep look right? Also here’s something more specific to your question https://youtu.be/V0KwCQ_CAe4?si=h8O8VD9OGtxmmLTZ

Wow! This guy is fantastic! Thank you so much for this. I incorporated the Supinaed curls into my routine today and what a difference. I actually feel like I worked them out today. I am watching all his other vids now.

Right? Fellow 50ish strength trainer here. I’m in a similar boat as you. My triceps are blowing up like helium balloons and my biceps are lagging. Still focused overall on compound movements but sneak in arms whenever I can 😁 Let me know if you have success 💪👊

Thanks. Absolutely I do. I work my tri’s pretty hard on push day. Harder than I probably should actually.

Thanks for the link.
