Learned something new from my trainer a few months ago. When doing standing barbell bicep curls, lean you back and head against a wall or pylon. It keeps you from using your body to help with the curls and greatly improves your form.

I had to drop 10 pounds of curling weight to keep my form, but now I'm back where I was and I notice much better definition in my biceps.

What say you? What do you know that maybe not everyone else does, but should?

Absolutely. Do 21s (bicep curls) at the end of your arm workout. Back against a wall, with a curl bar with whatever weight you want.
7 reps from fully extended to a 90* angle in your arms (waist level)
7 reps from waist level to full contraction
7 full reps

I use to do 21's when I didn't have a lot of time to workout. They will give you a serious burn in a short amount of time. I would use the with benches and all sorts of exercises. I did find that I had to drop some weight from the numbers I would use during regular workouts, but, the result was always good.

I listen to one man, and one man only when it comes to arms.

I don't get it! I've been shouting at my arms to grow for years, and not only do I have small arms but I've been kicked out of half a dozen gyms now! Tell me what I'm doing wrong CT Fletcher!!
