Discover the hidden mistakes behind your short bicep

Poor form during bicep exercises can limit muscle activation and growth.

Overlooking Form:

Building muscle requires progressively increasing the resistance over time.

Lack of Progressive Overload:

Training volume, which is the total amount of work performed is important for muscle growth.

Insufficient Volume:

Performing partial reps or not using the full range of motion can limit muscle activation.

Neglecting Full Range of Motion:

While isolation exercises like bicep curls are beneficial, compound movements like pull-ups and chin-ups also engage the biceps.

Ignoring Compound Movements:

Overtraining or not allowing sufficient rest between sessions can hinder muscle development.

Inadequate Recovery:
