Make sure your bicep workouts aren’t taking too much away from your recovery. That’s right the key to successful arm training is often not to do too much. You want your arm muscles to be stimulated without doing so much work that you negatively affect your recovery.

This certainly isn’t the only way to do things but it works for me.

I always make sure to cut the rep a little short at the bottom of the movement and not go to a full stretch. Otherwise I sometimes feel too much pressure on the bottom of my bicep.
Arm Workouts – Taboos and Pet Peeves
Most beginning trainers do far too much for their arm workouts. Most of these crazy high volume arm routines come from the bodybuilding magazines and won’t really work for the average natural trainee. That’s totally fine and it’s their own personal choice. But if everybody would follow these simple rules the gyms would be a much nicer places. Here’s my list of what annoys me the most in the gym. This just my list you can it for what you will.
