Since the bicep isn't that big of a muscle I only do about 3 sets for them..I have been seeing average gains in strength and in size..I just wanted to know if I should stick with 3 sets or do more.

im gonna have to disagree with twisted on this one. sure 3 sets could be better but it could be worse too. try doing 6 sets and then see if ur gains are better or worse. if they're better keep it up if not then go back down

wait, are you guys talking 3 sets total or 3 sets per exercise? 3 sets per exercise is good its what i do, but 3 sets total is too little

Try doing six sets - three exercises for two sets each or two exercises for three sets each - and see how it works. six sets still isn't that many, so you wont have to worry about overtraining.
