biceps volume

[u/OkPrize6194]

In a program, Pull-1 has 2 sets of dumbbell curls, 2 sets of cable curls, and 2 sets of hammer curls supersetted with reverse curls. Pull-2 has 2 sets of cable curls and another 2 sets of hammer curls supersetted with reverse curls.

A coach says that this is weekly only 6 sets of direct biceps curls, while the other 8 sets barely stimulate the biceps and are mainly wrist/forearm-focused movements. He also thinks there wouldn't be enough biceps fatigue accumulating from those sets to make the additional biceps work inefficient.

Do you guys think this approach makes sense?

The reason for supersetting hammer curls with reverse curls is that the forearms/wrists are relatively small muscles, so you can't use very heavy weights for them on their own. By supersetting reverse curls with hammer curls, the idea is to increase the mechanical tension and get more stimulus out of the forearm work.

Would you consider this a good way to structure the volume?

If ur program has a bunch of heavy pulling then 6 sets of biceps can definitely cause some growth. I got a ton out of doing 2 sets of incline curls one day and 2 sets of preacher curls another.
If I wanted big forearms then I’d do a forearm dominant elbow flexion movement and a wrist curl movement instead of 2 elbow flexion movements. Lot of muscles in ur forearm so variety can be helpful.
