    I'm not saying he doesn't have good genetics, I'm just saying someone who isn't on gear shouldn't train like they are. A lot of this has to do with volume.

    Look, there is no special get big bi's workout! Just train and cycle intensity/volume accordingly. Do deads/chin/pulls they all work bi's throw in a small iso set once or twice a week.

    I currently train bi's twice a week with a total number of 4-6sets for the week.

    I believe heavy straight bar curls along with cheat curls are the best exercise for bicep mass.

    Spare the isolation work until you have atleast 16" arms...
    First, get overall size, make sure to todo close grip benches, i started with them to late, after ten years of training because i did not get a good pump from them as pushdowns etc.the make arms thick, and also improve bench.
    Do them and dips as a part of a chest routine. Low rep and heavy... Actually those are my main chest execises too..
    For biceps, make sure to have undercrip pullsdowns or pullups on back day...similar to close grip bench for biceps..

    Then later in the week have a arm day if you like with curls and frenchpresses... Or add isolation after chest and back depending on split.

    I spent too much time hunting for bigger arms, but nothing else.. The first inch came in weeks, then i stagnated for years until i finally got into dc training. No longer doing that, but it made me learn things.

    I have naturally big chest, which makes chest training a breeze, but arms sucked...now they match..

    Secret... Do less for arms, but mote often, they cant take much work per session, but they are small so they recover again very quick..


    Sample splits.

    Arms
    Shoulders
    Legs
    Back
    Chest

    Chest back
    Shoulders arms
    Legs
    ( important to have a restday after chest back)
    Or do
    Chest back
    Legs
    Shoulders arms
    Rest
    Repeat

    The classic

    Chest shoulders triceps
    Back biceps
    Legs
    Rest repeat or repeat the two upperbody days... With different rep range then rest two days and repeat.

    My favorite for some time
    Chest triceps
    Back biceps
    Shoulders triceps
    Legs biceps

    Dont go overboard with arm,6-9 sets each time... It works better todo arms with 12-20 sets spread over two workouts rather than one

    But until you have gained 1-2 inches, stick to the more basic splits with just 1-2 isolation moves with few sets... Youll not regret it

    i throw in 2-3 set of preacher ez bar curls after a back day to get a full range of motion for them....then on another day i do bi's and tri's i superset every bicep exercise with a tricep exercise...retarted arm pumps an will kickstart some growth to your arms

    Chin-ups really spurred growth in my biceps.

    I found my biceps responded best to chin ups. Decline curls also helped.
