Train to make next day ur bicep feeling sore, cause when i train it dosnt feel sore even tho tis fucking hard ass weight lifting and i do it for 1 hour and a half and next day i dont feel much pain is this how it should be?

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

ok
first make your biceps workout go down to 30 minutes max, one hour and a halfis WAY too long to be in the gym you should be leaving by then at the latest, not still in there doing biceps!
it would be helpful if you could post your training programme up to have a look at mate
you say its heavy maybe you need to focus more on the mind-muscle connection. do curls slowly and have the biceps under CONSTANT tension during your whole set, you only rest them between sets.
my biceps seldon become ore the next day, i have alot more success making tricpes sore for the next day. and you say you dont feel "much pain" so if you're still feeling it then its good at least thats soemthing mate

well everyone's different with respect to soreness and it's not always a complete guage of a good workout...but having said that, if you are not getting sore you may not be varying up your routine enough. Also, you should not be doing them for anything more than around 30 - 40 mins. What exercises have you been doing for your bis??

[Tonkin]

well i do 4 sets of bicep curls 12,12,10,8 sitting ona bench doing incline for my bis and standing overhead tricep pull overs 12,12,10,8 heavy weights. It seems when im doing weights its very hard but afterwards i dont feel pain in any muscle the next day, its really depressing lol.

Btw i do one hour and a half on not just one muscle i do my back and biceps and triceps on one day.

Keep it written down if ur recovering properly u should beable to make progress each workout. Even if it's a single rep if not take the day off untill recrupriated properly

Like nothin' says - soreness isn't the only indicator. My biceps seldom get sore every time. But if the tape measure round them is getting bigger - then you're improving. If the weight you are lifting with good form is getting heavier then you are improving!
Really focus the movement into your bi's, drop the weight back a little if necessary - you'll benefit more in the long run. Something I like to do at the end of a session is a flush set. Choose a bi exercise and then choose a weight you'd normally use for your second warm up (about 70% of your main set) and do slow strict reps for one set - as many as you can! Great finishing pump!

I can't stress enough how important the "mind muscle" connection is on every exercise and it's something you develop the longer you train. It may be a tough concept to consider, but think about the muscle in your biceps firing and the movement starting from that contraction.

To be honest, I get "out curled" by guys at my gym all the time. There was a kid yesterday doing concentration curls with 70lb dumbells...his arms were like 14", mine are almost 19". Back off the weight and feel the contraction.

Word Bro! There is a reason why a 70kg women weight lifter can throw 180kg over her head it's called momentum!

70 lb concentration curls with one arm- no way- and a kid!? But i agree with u the "soreness" doesn't really mean much. My shoulders and bi's don't usually get sore but they still grow, concentrate on the squeeze and the gains will come.

ok cause i was getting worried. The 1std ay i ever done my legs like doing squatsi felt sore the ext day i did it aggin 3 days later and the next day they werent sore maybe i just gained strength i don't know.

lol he mustin be concentrating very much
thers a guy doing "partials" or quaater reps with 40's for concentration curl was horrible form

man its much easier to make legs back and chest sore in comparison to calves or arms etc
i had 6 weeks off i came back squatted only 80 kg for my biggest set, i was sore for 5 days
wasnt even sore after my first bicpes workout back
dont worry about it like rocky says if they are growing then who cares if you get sore or not!
tho i must admit the first thing i do when i wake up is have a stretch to see if im sore

[Tonkin]

yeah when i press down ona muscle in the morning it gets sore :/ lol this body shit is so wierd.
