Bicep curls - dumbell or barbell?

[nero120]

Hey guys,

just wondering what peoples opinions here are about the best exercise for building biceps. At the moment Im doing 3 sets of 6-8 reps on 15kg dumbells (pushing up to 17.5 now for the first set) sitting on an upright bench and curling both arms at the same time.

I've always wondered whether dumbs or bar was more effective, I've heard arguments for both. My arms aren't particularly big but im happy with my progress. Anyone here with big 'guns'? Whats your suggestions for sculpting your guns without resorting to Ron Burgandy style antics?

"1012, 1013, 1014. Oh hi there, I wasn't expecting anybody"

"You just phoned me and asked me to come.."

"I was right in the middle of sculpting my guns... I don't know if you heard me counting there, but I did over a thousand."

"There's only one way to bag a classy lady like that. And that's to give her two tickets to the GUN SHOW, and see if she likes the goods!"

I love it!

Heavy back work tbh...

For back Im doing bent-over rows and rear cable pulldowns, would that help bicep development?
