What weight is best for biceps?

Start with a low weight, like 5 pounds (2.3 kg), and do a few repetitions of a simple exercise like bicep curls. Increase the weight by 2.5 pounds (1.1 kg) until you get to a weight that is difficult to use for the exercise. Then, go down one increment. This will be the best weight for you to start at.

Should I do back or biceps first?

You should train back first. Because the biceps play a role in most back movements, tiring them out can impede your ability to safely perform your back exercises. As well, because back exercises indirectly work the biceps, training back first means you can still get some bicep work done if you're short on time.

Are bicep curls better seated or standing?

While there is more core engagement for bicep curls standing, this isn't usually the goal for bicep training. Therefore, seated bicep curls are a much better option for bicep growth and isolation. As well, standing bicep curls are more prone to 'swaying', which decreases the activation of the bicep muscle.

Can I train biceps everyday?

Yes, you can train biceps every day while maintaining your regular training schedule. This works very well for people who have always struggled with biceps growth.
