I can't get peaks worth a goddamn shit either. Thankfully my tris are like bigass snakes wrapping around my arms though, makes me happy - but I want them peaks!

Potential broscience incoming: Isn't peaks made from your short head biceps (inner biceps), So doing narrow grip barbell curls and stuff might help with that?

Part genetics but also the type of training. I think for me to get peaks, I need to do the stuff you mentioned. Just a crap ton of bicep work, high volume, low rest period. Arms twice a week. That type of stuff.

I finally began training my broceps, did 4x8 BB curls this week!

Cheers. What's a J-Cup? Does that hold the bar or something?

Peaks are great for making dem inches, but if I'm honest I can't say I'm a fan aesthetically.

Talking more about really pointy stuff like this:
Not a fan. Yours looks pretty good (You vain S.O.B.).

I've always had very rounded biceps and I hit them pretty crazy, this is as close to a peak as I get.
And if I get even a tiny bit of fat on them, it's even worse.

Man your biceps are almost as big as your head. Can you crush apples with them?
Despire, ah well. This makes me assume that you are also a fellow Finn.
You're assuming correct
What's a good timeframe after you go to the gym before you hit the gym again? Is it just whenever you're ready, or is there a good rule of thumb for this? Speaking of roundness, I don't get very pointy peaks, more like the cylinder that is my bicep just gets slightly more defined...oh well, more work required, I guess!

My arm looks like a light pole. I just want more cuts, don't care that much about peaks. Fat loss and all that, I know.

mirin at all these pics.
i really need to get my shit in gear; i want to start leaning out. diet has never really been a focus for me, but it's time to start. i'll probably add a cardio day (45 minutes of drills and shooting jumpers) at the gym now too.
generally speaking, i would really need to track my food and weigh portions eh? like, there's no lazy way to go about it i'm assuming.

Still good Darth, A-tier bis
In my opinion the solution becomes a lot more clear when you outline your macros and calorie goals and fill in the food later.
If you start by saying "well I don't even know the split of this highly variable and random combination of items (ie hamburger)" and your current schedule also randomly includes/allows them at odd times, then it is always going to seem inscrutable and ridiculous.
But yeah, first step is breaking out the spreadsheet.
Darth lookin' wuf as ever, oh my!

Considering a fitness channel of my own where I review bulking meals
What a horrible idea as I'm cutting! But youtube.com/bulkbrahs is open and I might just...take it

Duly noted.You're assuming correct
I think you are most likely the second Finn I have encountered in here.You look perfectly fine as you are. Silly. You should be happy what you have already achieved.
Very nice, very nice indeed. ;pHey now! Be nice.

Got my protein fix at a Syrian restaurant tonight. Meatfeast, nom nom nom.
I am exactly the opposite, I am starting to see some nice form on my biceps but my tris are absolute crap, they grow at the pace of calves.... meaning, they just don't. lol I'll have to do something about it and hit them harder
now that i have muscles whenever i buy new clothes i gotta make sure they show them off because i'm a vein self loving fucker

fitted v necks my man.
one of these days i'll take a swelfie. if i ever lift late at night and no one else is in the locker room lol.
edit: and veezy, wtf man. my chest hurts so fucking bad today. doing legs will be fun assuming i get to the gym today.
Mine were the same and now they are getting pretty big. Just have to hit them hard and for a while.
Sick, I got 405 atg last week gonna try for 2 tomorrow. If I'm brave.
you know I am amazed at the kind of beating our arms can take.
Going from, say, a deadlift as a main compound followed by 3 or 4 accesory exercises for back, you can go straight from there into some isolation arm shit and still have it in you to curl for many reps, in many variations AND get a pump while you're at it.

Great progress! But we need to sit down and seriously talk about tap fittings.
Veezy F Baby does not fuck around when it comes to volume.
Good luck walking tomorrow, brah. Luckily, you don't need to stand much for arm day.
Brolic gaoler: the anti-bodybuilder.
Nice set.
Check out the new article on starting strength about how to personal train people. It's very compelling and shows how bad the average trainer is.
Why thank you kitty.

Anti-bodybuilder. Yeah, that's about right. Aesthetics mean next to nothin to me, but there is most definitely a place for BB style training even in my program.
Lol. Looks like Christmas hams stuffed in my shorts.

Let's be serious. I ain't happy until I have Cooter's S-tier Aggro Crag peaks. Surely bathing in gamma radiation will do it. Off I go.
The way you said fuck to bicep peaks and the video of those monster squats reminds me of this gif.
P.S. I'm stoked about Godzilla coming out this week.
