I have an issue with my arm development. I have been able to get my arms up in size. My left arm is around 16" and my right arm measures roughly 3/8 less than that. I have been noticing that although the size has gotten there, and hopefully not plateaued, that the hardness isnt there. My biceps feel a bit mushy.


I changed my routine a bit to try to put an end to that. Previously I had been doing about 4 sets of 10-6 reps. Now I doing 10-4 reps. Should I be doing lower reps with even heavier weights?

My biceps exercises that I usually do are the bb curls, 1 arm and ez bar preacher curls, alt db curls and on occasion cable curls. I used to do regular db curls but got away from that.

My wife put her finger just inside my bicep and so I closed up my arm and flexed and asked her to pull her finger out. Her finger felt tight in there but she was able to pull it out. THAT SUCKS!!! a 118lb Filipina!!!

My arms were pumped on this but they were not sore. I measured my biggest bicep after this it and it was near 16 1/2". Normally it sits at 16"

I have begun to incoporate more CG grip bench in my routine and more and more of the ez bar preacher curls.
