PLease solve my Biceps related doubt?!


Question: HI folks!
On my biceps day I do Biceps barbell curl first followed by dumbbell curl,hammer curl and preacher curl.I do 4 sets in each exercises and thats 16 in total.but my problem is,after I have done 2 sets in barbell curl,my biceps become so very much pumped and find it hard to curl them completely though I have strength and Energy.At my 3rd and 4rth sets I cannot do more than 5reps and I start cheating(move my body a bit but keep my arms rigid).worse yet is I find the other 3 exercises still more tough because of the pump and not of lack of strength and energy.not to mention about preacher curl!!thats worst.I even shake a bit.What do I do now!
Thank you for u r replies!!

I would dump one set and stick to three sets or if you really want 4 sets then stick to 3 exercises. Alternatively switch the hammer curl and use cable to do your biceps..lower the cable snap to bottom use a straight bar for upwards bisep pull this gives you full range.

Your overworking your biceps. The best thing to do for muscles as small as biceps is rest. The more rest the better.

Extent your rest between the sets. That should do the trick.

Reduce to 3 sets. I've never heard of anybody doing 4.
Reuduce weight by 1/3 of previous weight each time: ie. set1 15lbs, set 2 10lbs, set 3 6lbs (1/3 off 10lbs).
This should actually increase the build faster while not being exhausting.
No more than thirty seconds rest between sets.
