does it take longer to build bicep muscles or something?

Different muscles have different response and recovery periods.  They also respond differently to repetitive stimulation and intensity levels.  The chest is capable of large loads and the eccentric contraction (the negative) can stress the chest enough to cause delayed onset muscle soreness even if stimulated in the same fashion every week.  You have to really push your biceps on the eccentric contraction to achieve the same result.  Your strength deficit may also differ from your chest to your bicep.  \n\nThere is a greater potential for muscle growth in the chest due to load a mass, but depending on your genetics, if you train your biceps with different techniques, you should equally see results.  Try high-rep, low-rep and ballistic movements to vary techniques.\n\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_biceps.html

You should try strength training instead.  Using weights would help build muscle.

if your tryin to build muscle then only work out 2 or 3 days of the week because what you are doing when weight training is riping your muscle and then you need time for it to heal and build (hope that makes sense and helps)

If you have a weight bar you can do curls to improve your bicepts, and then lay down on a bench and do tricept lifts by holding your arms upward and bending your elbows backwards towards your head and then moving them back straight vertical, this will do tricepts. Otherwise if you have a weight room nearby their are machines that work the tricepts. Ask someone at the gym they should know what you are talking about. Good Luck!

the biology behind weight training is the key here. when you work out, you strain your muscles. this causes small tears in the muscle sheath. after about 36 hours, the muscle sheath regenerates itself, and the newly formed tissue causes the muscle to get bigger and stronger. if you work out ever 24 hours, your muscles do not have adequate time to repair themselves, and you risk injuring yourself.

Gaining quality muscle mass encompasses a lot of different factors. Exercise, diet, genetics, ...etc determine the amount and how quickly you can gain muslce mass.\nI hate to disappoint you, but what you are asking is impossible.\nThe good news is you can begin today building a better body and adding quality muscle mass.\nCheck out my site for more info. Good luck!

lotta upper body working out to increase muscle mass may make veins grow to supply the muscle, but i been sticking for 30 years and some folks are just tough.  make sure you know where the best ones are and send them there.

Practice, practice and practice. A little patience and a lot of hard work. Also, try exercising your arms (like pushups or so).

Before you buy anything I would work on body weight exercises like push ups, pull-ups, and hindu squats (www.cbass.com/furey.htm for description.)\nDo them in sets somedays and to all out failure other days.  There are many variations of pushups and pull ups can be reversed to work on bicep strength too.  Also, hanging knee raises from the pull up bar are great for your abs.\nThis will get you in the habit of exercising and prepare your joints for the increased load of weights.  Depending on your body, you may want to hold off hardcore weights for a while.  During your 'spurt' you should let your body focus on growing bones to maximize your potential height.  You can add muscle to your frame later, but you only get one chance to grow upwards.  Good luck!

Try using the other hand for self stimulation, I did that and it took years, but straightened out nicely, just take note so that it doesn't curve the other way.  It also makes your arms the same size.

they won't get your strength, but working out, aside from being healthy in itself, would give you an idea of just how muscular you can become.  some people work out forever, and it barely shows, or the other way around.  my advice- give it a shot; it can't hurt, and while your baby won't be born with bulging biceps, they'll pick up some good habits and will know their potential.  just don't overdo it.  moderation and balance, and all that.

Know this & take what you need....\n\nBuilding muscles is actually when you break muscle fibers, they repair themselves over a period of 72 hours, and after the process is complete the fibers are more dense and become thicker and bigger. Ta da! Big muscles. It is important to feed the mscles after working out to give them what they need to repair properly, lots a protein! Divide your work out into muscle groups and work out each group every 3 days, this will allow it the time it needs to become denser and allow you to go up in weight. Don't do that and your goals (if muscle building, toning, development) will be hindered. Good luck, use good judgement & caution with weights, you don't want to pull, strain, or tear because then you will have sit out, which results in nothing!

If you've never done any weights start with the 15 pounders and after a week increase to the 20's,more reps build muscle rather than bulk, but make sure you don't do arms everyday! you can really get hurt that way,group muscles need 72 hrs. between workouts.

You just have to work at it. Use weights and don't work just the biceps. Work the triceps and forearms too. All of those will give you bigger looking arms. Eat lots of protein too.\n\nYou should probably work on the rest of your upper body as well. Otherwise you'll just look strange.

There are too many exercise to do to get the result. But I just pick 4 for you:\n\nBarbell Biceps Curl 5 sets (10, 12, 15, to failure, take 2-3 min break and increase the weight to where you can only do around 6 reps)\n\nUnderhand Chip-up with weight 6 sets (no weight 12, with weight 10, 8, 6, take 2-3 min break and increase the weight 4-6 reps, no weight to failure)\n\nTriceps Dip with weight 6 sets (no weight 20 - yes I mean 20 reps I do 50 reps, with weight 15, 12, 10, take 2-3 min break and increase the weight 6-8 reps, no weight to failure)\n\nIncline Close Grip Bench Press 4 sets (10, 8, 6, 6) Don't take a break too long from these sets\n\nDon't blame me for the pain, you may do them all in one session. Eat well and get enough rest, it's better to delay a workout than skipping a meal, eating and resting is more than 70% in getting huge, the work-out part is just to stimulate growth.

haha it's me again! woot! you seem to have a lot of interesting questions..anyways back on the subject..for males, they usually have more muscle tissues..therefore, it's a lot more easier for a guy to build muscles than girls - i've seen it at the gym plenty of time took me more than 2 months to get some nice abs when my brother..did it in less than 5 weeks >:[ .. so my advise to you..try to make some changes to your diet - intake food with high carbonhydrates - rice, bread, noodle, buns, starchy vegetables like potatoes, yam, etc..then combine the carbonhydrate food with food that contain protein - meat, red meat especially..never miss either one because they really help in weight gain in a healthy way when you eat them both together. and last but not least..once you start gaining weight..it is nearly impossible for you to gain all the fat at the right places..focus on the areas where you want to lose some fat on - for example..if your legs starting to get too big..do some squads so it won't affect your upper body ;] but anyways..i still believe that clothes are made to enhance your body features and your personal styles..you should buy clothes that fit your body's proportion..not to buy clothes that cause you frustration - if they don't fit you perfectly..they're not the right size for you
