Same here with Biceps - Standing BB Curls.
Tri's - One Dumbbell / Two Handed Tri Extensions.

 

[MonStar1023]

Biceps: standing barbell/ez-bar curls
Triceps: lying ez-bar ext. or seated overhead dumbbell ext.

 

[Valdez]

Tris: weighted dips without a second thought is #1 2nd: lying french press (also love close grip and reverse grip bench, I love working tris.)
Bi's: standing BB curl 2nd: cable preacher

 

[maxellyz]

biceps: db preacher curls, bb preacher curls, standing bb curls

triceps: 180 degree press or french press pushdowns also close grip bench

 

[Robboe]

Benching and chins.

 

[MrMuscle]

Barbell curls and skull crushers

Skull crushers-reverse grip. It's a killer.

[babyfaced monster]

standing bb curls and close grip benching

 

[Garza]

Standing barbell, closed grip bench

 

[absolute hardgainer]

Tris: The dip - the weighted dip that is

Bis: Close grip preacher curl, probably the most isolating bicep exercise.

hardgainer (!)

 

[Welsh power house]

straight barbell curls for the bis


close-grip bench press or dips for the tris

Arm Routine Favorites

For Biceps I do back-to-back exercises of Chinups followed immediately by E-Z Bar Cable curls (full 100lb stack with an additional 45lb plate pinned on).
For Triceps I use a home made "Y" rope (with hand loops at the end) and do overhead tricep rope extensions off the cable machine, again,..with a set of 45lb plates attached to the full stack - Great Burn!

BI:

standing DB curls, if i go heavy with bb curls i cannot help but cheating too much, it seems dumbell curls activate both long and short head for me, but this can be a persoanl biomechanical thing, others swear by bb curl as mainstay

other nice mass builder is weightet close reverse grip puillups using low reps (8-4 reps )and scott barbell curls using slightly more reps (12-8 reps)

TRI weigted dips or california presses

 

[CRAZYPITBULL]

Heavy standing bb curls/ Close grip bench

 

[TheBandit]

Standing BB curls for bi's and skulls for tri's.

ditto

 

[edgecrusher]

For tri's, I like closegrip benches, or JM presses.
Bi's Zottman curls are my preference.

 

[blaster220]

I'm gonna have to try those reverse skulls... they sound pretty good. I've done one armed reverse tri pulldowns (as opposed forward pushdowns) on a cable machine and they're nice

 

[da big thinker]

bi's=drag curls(love these)
tri's=weighted dips

 

[buffal2001]

bis- standing curls(straight bar)
Tris-weighted bench dips/ regular dips

 

[crashnet]

definitely skullcrushers for the tri's
