First question - are these arm curls part of an overall workout routine or the only exercise you do?

Common sense would suggest it's the former, but given how your question is worded I can't help but suspect it's the latter, in which case I don't think you will find advice easy to come by other than it being completely pointless.

One of the very first things you learn when starting to look into weight training is that basic isolation movements such as arm curls matter FAR less than you had most likely assumed.

Arnold Curls yo.

Get a nice weight (15KG on a barbell or something) Do 8 reps on the lower half of your bicep (so from flat to half way up) then another 8 on the top half (so from the middle to the top) then do the remaining 8 reps in full motion Do that for three sets

ololololololol

 

[Steedie]

And pyro,

Lettuce be cereal for a second,

If you want a good pump, 60% of your 1RM, 12-15 reps. And just do your normal arm routine (21's, hammer curls, anything with a cable will be good also)

Hope that helps, seconds over and good luck on your phaggy time goals in 2012

Yet your point is moot.

I have a job that allows me to be infront of my PC all day as everything can be done remotely. So yes, I leave it logged in and check every so often. Sometimes im on all day others not at all.

Woooooooo

Good job you can boot up in 9 seconds then i guess. Save all that precious time for pumping your biceps.

Supersets are the best for arms.

Slow negatives are key too.

BB curls followed by hammer curls. Slow, steady reps, with slow negatives around 8 reps. Go for around 2/3rds of your max weight.

Then on your last working set drop set like a **********.

Say you're doing 100kg bicep curl @ 4 reps.
Drop to 80 @ 6 reps
Drop to 60 @ 8 reps
Drop to 40 @ 10 reps
Drop to 20 @ 12 reps

If you can move your arms after that you're a god.

I feel dirty.
