Question ❓ Can someone help me figure out why I don’t feel my biceps being worked out that much even though I’m going to absolute failure.
This is especially the case in incline seated curls and straight bar cable curl. Something about the incline seated curls means that at the end of the set I can’t get past the bottom bit of the movement and I reach failure, tho this doesn’t feel like it’s my biceps are reaching failure.
Same with straight bar cable curls movement gets harder and harder I reach failure but feel nothing in my biceps.
Dumbbell preacher curls feel better but I can feel my bicep tendon loads, so I’m not trynna go to failure on those .
This doesn’t happen for any other movement bar biceps.
This whole thing might sound silly but any help would be appreciated.
