I have stopped doing regular curls. I do either preacher curls on that plate loaded machine or incline dumbbell curls for that stretch. Been hitting arms every other day; the results are pretty good.

Was young I couldn't do good, now I can't do Bad
Bigger arms = Bigger Bench..... & for that very reason I'm on a bit of 'Armageddon' myself....try chucking in some
heavy weighted chin ups coupled with
2-3 sets of Full ROM barbell curls in the squat rack (cardinal sin I know)
^^^ Those two = Guaranteed Bicep Brutality...if you still got something in the tank, after that go over to the PRECOR Cable machine & proceed to bang out some PUMP inducing sets to get that tight 'accomplished' feeling
Switch up heavy, medium and light bicep days regularly. Don't forget to fully extend your arm on each rep. Although you can do cheat curls where your elbow is partially bent at the bottom of the rep, and that is beneficial to maintaining resistance on the bicep throughout the set, you can give yourself more resistance by doing full-range of motion curls. Switch it up and you do it both ways. As you and everyone else notices, you can't initiate very heavy-weight curls without having to swing your body for assistance, decrease the weight resistance.
There is no secret to faster bicep growth. Just like with other body parts, you get mass through hard work. It's a long road. Give yourself short-term and long-term goals. It takes years to look "beast-mode" when you aren't even flexing.
i'll probably have to wait fer a bulk to even get that much bigger like adam said. I never really work my bis terribly hard so I thought I could get some noob gains out of the way right now but I'm guessing my amount of benching took care of all of those
This.
I do standing preachers too with one dumbbell at a time and have been noticing some gains.
I had small biceps and triceps. I used to work triceps and biceps on the same day separate from other body parts.
Then, I switched to working on biceps when I worked on chest and worked on triceps when I worked on my back.

Do you have a minor hamstring or hip adductor/abductor injury or soreness? Your body may be compensating mechanically by walking awkwardly and straining your knee
I have been having the same issue while walking a lot at work, but I know it stems from my adductor strain and inability to use my bodys musculature as nature intended
Nope all that stuff is fine. My feet point slightly outward tho I've heard that can be an issue

Think Im gonna go back to a push/pull/legs split to match up with my new daily work schedule.
Not gonna be able to work out in the morning anymore, finally back to a 9-5
Really want to work body parts more than once per week ideally, but Im not sure I wanna do full body workouts now thaT im killing myself with high rep squats

It's official brehs, I'm finally done with the gym. Cancelling my membership asap. I haven't been over a month, due to complications with my schedule.
But instead, I've developed a piff calisthenics routine, that has me more shredded and ripped than ever(still 5'9 180lbs slightly under 10% bf). Not mention no doms.....
I can work out six days a week, with absolutely no fukks given. I plan on copping another door way pull-up bar today and investing in a weighted vest, looking for up to 75-100lbs
so I don't lose too much leg definition from not squatting 3 plates atg. Won't front my legs still look huge and ripped 
Taking back to where it all started at:

thing. How the heck do people in fitness / health related fields yet struggle or don't even attempt to care of themselves. I mean I'm assuming at some point they came across information about how to get into shape and what it takes. Instead I'm around people under 25, who are pre-diabetes and need surgery. . They eat fast food all the time, skip breakfast, and constantly drink sodas and sugary liquids. 
This can't be life....
