Building Biceps without lifting weights?

Ever heard the saying ' horses for courses ' !!

 

Without any joint pain?

I do it occasionally, but not regularly. Get a bit worried of doing it too much and messing up my joints.

 

You could always start with lighter weights and progress to higher ones as you train.

 

Weights machene's do little to improve core strength IMO.

Im not sure if adding a lto of bulk to the arms necessarily increases punch strength, it certaintly doesnt give you any greater hand spped or snap.
It has its place but it should be very low on the agenda i think.
