Re: Bicep overtraining

alternating dumbell curls
preacher ez bar curls
barbell curls
hammer curls
another variation of dumbell curls

I didn't count the sets or anything but it must have been at least 2 sets of each.

Surely this must be extreme overtraining, no?

I do more sets than that for biceps. I usually do 7 exercises with a minimum of 3 sets each. I have found this works for me: I have 19.5" arms at 5'7.

Depends on the person and if they are "assisted" or not.
