Why most people cheat when training bi's, and how it affects development
I have to admit that I cheat a LOT training biceps. It's because I use more weight than I can perform STRICT reps for. I still think (because it was the only thing that worked for me), that heavy is the way to go.
Having said that, I also have to admit that the info in this great article is also 100% correct. When my front delts are tired from a previous days shoulder session, I will drop weight on barbell curls, and the pump I get is killer. Strict form is never a bad thing.
Confirming my belief, they do acknowledge that going heavy is necessary for real mass gains. So it seems that a balance of the 2 approaches, or VARIETY is the BEST Course.
I rest my case.
On this site you'll find other arms in general, biceps in particular, info. That is because like most people, I appreciate huge, cut arms. When I see tips like you'll find in this article, it excites me because I know what works (plus I am always looking for tips and reminders for my own arm training) and I enjoy sharing it.
Having said that, most of the arm specific stuff is geared to advanced lifters, people with massive arms already.
I can not emphasize enough:
essentially arms will only grow in proportion to everything else.
Thus have mass in place everywhere before going isolation on arms.
