hello  I am doing stronglifts 5x5 from 3 months or so and soon i will accomplish my beginner goals as set by wolf. After doing stronglifts i am no more a fan of doing curls and extensions. I have seen gains in all parts of my body except biceps. I am looking forward to change my routine. I need a routine without curls and other isolations. Is it possible to build big arms without doing curls? Suggest a good routine please |

In the previous version of Stronglifts, the guy also had some accessory exercises at the end of the main barbell ones.
After workout A it's dips, and after workout B it's pull-ups/chin-ups alternating every workout.
Why don't you continue 5x5 with more weight and maybe add those accessory exercises?
You get great biceps with pull-ups and chin-ups.

x2 My routine isn't SS or SL but it includes chinups. They work wonders for your biceps and back, and will help you improve strength in rows. |

Not without steroids or some isolations, but you can get pretty decent 15-16 inch ones by pullups and rows. It will just take a while. |

Well, that's bollocks if you ask me. There is a reason same these exercises were there in his previous version of Stronglifts. I see absolutely no reason to not do them. We are of course talking about bodyweight dips and pull/chin-ups. If you added weight then yeah I can see how it would be overtraining. |

But if you're interested in changing, choose something from the wolf's 21 routine, or try scooby's routine for some hypertrophy.  Or http://www.cbass.com/KevinDye.htm |
