What can you do to get bigger biceps?
>inb4 "hurr durr biceps =/= strength
That's a given, and I've been working chest and triceps primarily, and go back to squats and deadlifts once my wrist is a little better.
The point is, I've worked triceps good, they're decently sized and decent strength, but they ride up closer to my shoulder so normal shirts don't expose them as much. But my biceps lack size. I was doing 100 lb e-z curls (iirc) and although that's not super heavy, it's not exactly beginner either. So, what routine can I start doing to increase bicep size, I'm moderately strong, but in some shirts I look dyel.
Do curls at the end of every gym session faggot.

Progressive overload, just like any other muscle.
>100 lb e-z curls
Good. Now work towards being able to do that for 4x12 super strict with no swing, slow eccentric, and tensing your triceps in the bottom of each rep.

>100lb
>1.5pl8
the pl8 system so fucking useful but we might have to give it up because of retards like you who can't understand something so simple
pl8=Number of 45lb plates on either side of a 45lb olympic barbell.
1pl8=135
2pl8=225
3pl8=315
4pl8=405

Chin ups. Results will depend on how fat you currently are.

Km not an american so instead of calculating lbs to kg i just cut the nr in half to get e very tough estimate

That still doesn't add up to 1.5 pl8. At all.

Same. My parents both had skinny arms and now mine are decent.
Also several sets of 4X15 helped me.

Since when is an ezbar same weight as an olympic bar?
100lbs is roughly 50kg
So 1pl on one side an anothrr on the other = 40 kg, leaves 10 more. So im sorry 1.25 pl, does that calm your autism?

Thanks. I think my biggest issue was that (generally) go higher wieght, low reps. I'll have to definitely adjust my bicep routine.

Cant into context
sad sad man. Using the weight of bar talking about an ezbar is irrelevant.

Planet fitness is a casual gym for beginners, normies, and those just looking to excersise. It's not bad you if don't expect free weights over 75 lbs and no free bench, squat or deadlifting.
