use a lighter weight than normal.. maybe even half what you would usually use.. concentrate on moving the weight through a full range of motion.. i.e. from where the bicep is relaxed to where it is at its most tense, concentrating on squeezing the muscle throughout the movement and controlling the motion of each rep.

do this routine once a week (dont train biceps more than this) and you will see improvement and soreness.

most people lift too heavy for biceps and tricpes.. just cos you can LIFT the weight doesnt mean its the correct weight to use for that exercise.. i have made this mistake myself in the past!

same for triceps!

Hi LeeB

Thanks for taking the time to help me out, I am busy working out a new plan i'll try this and see how I go. I have been working hard with poor results, I should have sought advice from guys like you sooner.

Cheers,
