Re: Biceps
Ok,

So you're getting stronger on most things and are "growing" in general but not in biceps. Cool. Options: add / lower volume, change set and rep scheme.

Seeing as everything else is growing, and your overall volume for pecs / triceps / delts is pretty high Vs pretty low volume for lower body I'd suggest dropping some volume on pull (back and Bi) days. If you generally did not respond to a lower volume your chest and delt growth would be great (hi volume day) and your legs would be lagging (relatively lower volume day). So on back and bi day try moving to 1 x light wmup, 1 x moderate warmup 3-4 reps short of failure with 80% of so of work weight, then 2 sets all out with the working weight. Use a simple rep cycle to expose your body to heavier loads over a couple of months eg weeks 1-2 , 10-12 reps, weeks 3-4 8-10 reps, weeks 4-8, 6-8 reps. Combo of dropping some volume, allowing for better recovery and exposure to heavier loads should get you growing in the back and bi's.

Cheers,

G
