Question about having "Short Biceps"

[Abonneau]

Hi guys!

Newbie here. I DID perfor a search before posting my question. I just couldn't find what I was looking for.

I have a short bicep (it stop one inch before my elbow). Some says it's because I don't train properly, some says it's genetics. I prefer to think it's genetics!

Is any of you have "short biceps"?

Now... the most important thing I wanted to ask: How can I train my "short" bicep properly? Same as anyone else?

I'm having a very hard time getting mass. I use heavy weights and do 8-10 reps. I've also tries higher reps (12 and even 15) with no avail. Should I try very low reps (6)? I train my biceps every 5 days (approx).

Hope I gave enough info...

Any tips would be welcomed.

PS: Please excuses my English, my first language is French.

It's genetics. Just train them like everyone else and they will be big but short.

I have the same problem (seen here: http://boards.elitefitness.com/foru...e=1&perpage=9&action=view&sortby=&in=back.gif)

It's kinda wierd looking, but it makes the biceps look more 'peaked' which can be a good thing too.

Dont feel bad darlin - shorter bellies tend to have a more appealing shape imo.....this pic was taken a couple-three weeks ago and it will show that longer bellies, like my bis have basically no shpe at all.....

Pic was me at about 208 or so - please disregard tape as I was settling a bet

Seems some mods are not able to post pics directly into posts - Digger is working on it.

WAIT - you mean mentors do not get plat stuff for free???


That's dickedup...I'm gonna go complain




why is it that I can see MS pic but she cant see mine???

I think I told a lie. I'm using the Platinum Quick Reply right now, so I must be Platinum! All I know is I can't see your pics and I'm deeply disappointed.
