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 ⚆ _ ⚆

    If your joints feel fine I say give 4x5 a shot, everyone is different and you have to find what works best for you by trial and error. With that said I wouldn’t go lower than 5 rep sets though, I feel like that’s just asking for tendon inflammation.
