So i have been on cut for like 8 months at this point and i have been progressing very litte (I have tried a lot of different styles PPL, bro splits and experimenting with weight and reps)
However, there’s something i have noticed is that in bicep curls, i will not progress until i forcefully add weight and perform like 4-5 reps for a high no. Of sets (4-5), i am usually able to get them up-to 10-12 reps after 3-4 weeks (i follow 6 day PPL)
However, i have also read that doing heavy sets of accessories can damage your joints, i do barbell and dumbbell curls and never felt like there was any tension on my joints, and my back remains quite straight and elbows locked
So should i stop doing these kind of curls and wait until i can bulk? Or should i keep doing this if it works for me
I have also been in the gym for 8 months if that is of any use
Edit; not in the gym but have been hitting the gym ⚆ _ ⚆
Strength gains, but when i trained my bicep this particular way, they progressed…
You won't get strength gains while eating fewer calories than you burn, or at least not much. As your fat stores get low, your body starts cannibalizing your muscle to fuel your lifts and you'll see negative progress. 8 months for a cutting phase is excessive unless your body fat percentage was very high.
