    The one thing I always tell people who want help with biceps is to lower the weight. Then again, I'm always advising guys and, let's face it, we are much more of ego lifters than women. So, not sure how much help that particular bit of advice would be to you.

    However, I've found in my own training that lowering the weight, coupled with feeling the contraction has helped quite a bit. In addition, I also make very sure not to over-complete the rep at the top. By that I mean I'm strict about not allowing my arm to get perpendicular to the floor, thus transferring the stress from the bicep to the elbow joint.

    Another technique that I throw in periodically is super-setting biceps with triceps, doing the tri exercise first. I do this because I've had issues with my biceps becoming too pumped. I find that super-setting eliminates that problem completely.
    Weak is a state of mind.

    Since I was changing up my routine anyway, I tried some of these exercises. I did a low incline DB curl, not a 45 deg incline. Probably more like 30 deg. I could really feel this in my biceps and I notice the effects today. I really liked this movement. Had to drop the weight down to 40s but it worked well.

    I also played with the drag curl and I noticed it works better *for me* with a straight bar. I feel it a lot more right in the biceps this way. I felt a bit weaker...I think with the EZ bar some other muscles may be helping.

    Pick one exercise per workout and try to isolate the biceps with a medium weight. Try to fail in the 12 to 15 rep range do the same for triceps.

    Cool

    Maybe I missed it but did anyone ask you what you have/are trying currently? The info is good so far but it would be important to know history before making any recomendations!
