    Which is considered better overall in terms of adding bulk to your arms?

    I am trying to narrow down a good routine I can do each weak to help gain some muscle. I struggle with putting on muscle weight quite a bit, always have. These two exercises seem to be the most recommended but I only want to focus on one.

    I believe the barbell curl builds muscle a bit better. But that’s how I feel compared to concentration curls. I would say both work wonders and should help build muscle either way. But personally I would go with barbell curls instead.

    From what I have read, concentration curls seem to activate the biceps more than barbell curls. So if you are focusing on growing your biceps, I would mainly do concentration curls.
