Should we train biceps every day to get better results?

Many people are unsure about whether training their biceps every day can speed up results. After all, if you are prioritizing a muscle by training it daily, it should grow faster, right?

In most cases, training biceps every day can affect muscle recovery, reduce strength and promote the appearance of joint pain and, in the worst case scenario, cause injuries.

In most cases, training biceps every day can affect muscle recovery, reduce strength and promote the appearance of joint pain and, in the worst case scenario, cause injuries.

Adding even more stress to the muscle, for most people and in most situations, will be detrimental in terms of hypertrophy.

For best results, focus on training your biceps heavily using a properly designed workout that allows for ample rest.

This way, the muscle can rest, recover and come back bigger and stronger with each workout.

For those who are just starting out, training biceps once a week is enough, since the muscle is stimulated even in compound exercises such as pulls or rows.

Now, if you are more experienced and are looking for maximum hypertrophy, increasing the frequency to twice a week, with adjustments to the total volume, can be efficient. The idea is to stimulate the muscle without overloading it to the point of compromising its recovery, which could limit progress.

It is important to remember that the biceps is a relatively small muscle and recovers faster than larger groups, such as the legs or back.

But even with this quick recovery, the intensity and volume of each workout make a difference.

Training with too many sets and repetitions can be counterproductive, especially if the focus is not on movement quality.

The balance between stimulus and rest is what will ensure muscle growth, so adjusting your routine based on your body's signals—such as fatigue or declining performance—can be the best indicator of how often you should train.
