      In the purpose of building size, would 4 sets, 20 reps of hammer curls be good or bad?

      For size I'd do sets of 8.

      Yes, it would help. But, as the guy above me said, sets of 8 will work also. What you've gotta do is keep your body guessing, so one day do 4x8 with pretty heavy weight, and the next bicep day do 4x20 with moderate weight. Just keep it guessing, and keep at it.

      this is retarded. ^^

      do as much repetitions as you want just make sure each time you progress ( by adding reps or adding weight) and you will grow.

      It is proven certain rep ranges will lead to more strength gains while others will lead to greater endurance gains. This is because they use different types of muscle fibers. 8 reps stays right in the middle of that. Since it recruits the most muscle fibers, theoretically it will yield more hypertrophy.

      give me one SCIENTIFIC study, (which is not some random guy who wrote an article in some forum) that less reps will yield more hypertrophy and I will believe you.

      Are you sure it's the number of reps? Are you sure it isn't the amount of time spent lifting the weight? for example, 20 seconds, and 60 seconds of working the muscle

      what I am sure is that as long as the load on the muscles is increased each time, he will grow.

      many people say it's a combination of reps + weight.
