How come Patriam? Just one of those parts that's hard to make gains on? Genetics..... Bah humbug...

Idk man. I’ve started doing chin-ups way more often to try and rectify the problem. We shall see

But yeah, I do not gain biceps

Wrist size predicts bicep size. Some can't get huge biceps. I know professional bodybuilders like smaller wrists to create the illusion of bigger biceps -- but they grow their mussels way bigger than normal in the fitness world.

This isn't true at all. My wrists are tiny and I have nice size biceps. They'll grow just like any other muscle. You just have to work them right.

Stretch well on arm day.

Do arms in one day (tris and bis) and do them before back day. Back uses a lot of bicep, so I would do that after to focus energy on your bis. I would do chest before arms (tris) if you're looking to grow your chest.

Start off with heavy weight, low rep dumbbell curls on the arm curl bench. 5-6 reps is fine. Keep increasing until you can only do 1 rep. Cheat a little with the other arm if you need to help yourself pull up the weight to get that last rep. Increase weight every 1-2 weeks.

Do barbell curls, hammers, and concentrated to finish.

On back day do heavy reverse grip barbell row and seated row.

Eat. You need to eat to grow.

Thanks buddy

Saving your post. I had been doing chest, back, arm day in that order, followed by legs. I’ll do yours instead

Two bodybuilding principles for any muscle also apply to biceps: 1) training through the extremities of the movement (fully lengthened position to the fully shortened position) and 2) maintaining tension on the desired muscle. Easy way to help maintain tension is using the preacher curl bench. Standing with a 90 lb ez curl bar swinging your hips to get the weight up will do nothing to grow biceps.
