| Under Construction Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 35 Rep Power:  |  Bicep help My biceps are different sizes!!!, as a kid I used to muck around with a 5kg weight, just on the side of the bed with my right arm doing countless reps, as a result it was bigger Now my left bicep appears to be the same size, but when I straighten my arm the right one looks bigger, and when tense it also is larger... I cant explain it but how can I make both biceps the same size? Does anyone have a list of all the excercises for biceps so I can do them all and hope they even out if I do the exact same reps and weights or any idea how to tactical this... thanks |

This maybe something, my back is started growing freakishly big, I didnt think it was possible that fast, but the arms are still sticks.... |
