Here's my arm Rx. When I workout biceps my arms are so pumped that it sometimes hurts. You have a lot of volume but the key to bicep training is the eccentric phase (lowering of the weight). I made the biggest improvements on my arms when I started doing weighted negatives on pull-ups (think eccentric phase). Physiologically our biceps are made to hold weight. So if you want them to grow, try doing a 3-second negative on each rep. Pair that with gripping it like someone is trying to steal it from you and that should give you quality reps. Think at the top to flex your bicep and hold that flex as you are lowering the weight.
Also my preference is to do triceps before biceps in a superset. For me it "greases" my joints, lets me get better reps, and more blood flow. Focus on the pump with partial movements as well. Say after you do pulley bicep curls, last rep only lower it halfway down and do 5-10 partial reps at the top (or as many as you can do on every set). Hope you can find something that works in that, Charlie.
Love all the action in here
Been working on my strength. Unfortunately tweaked my back deadlifting so working around that. Lifting heavy makes it feel better until the next day.
