    Doing the 7s, but I cheated and put a 2.5lber in with the 10. It wasn't much of a change, so I'm going to see what I can get away with and how often. I'm still going to do at least 3 sets a day.

    I do chins without weight at work, and I do chins with weight at home.

    I'm doing sets of 6 with 20lbs + bodyweight, but I do them widegrip. I could handle more weight for more reps if I chose to do them closegrip because it puts my biceps in a stronger pulling position.

    for some gay reason my left bicep hurts like hell if i do weighted chins....this is with a close grip

    maybe i gotta start doing wide grip to take some strain away from it


    sucks

    Rest it. You might have strained a muscle, and if you try to overexert it, you might tear a bicep like I did when I was a teenager. Not fun.

    only your left?

    maybe you hurt it doing something else? I dont see how one would hurt.. unless it was injured already

    I'd rest a full week or so, no curling, back or any pulling exercises..
