Liftan!
So today was arm day and i did 3 sets of 10 heavy biceps curls in the machine, then 3 sets of 10 heavy concentration curls with dbs, then I capped it off with much lighter 3 sets of cable rope hammer curls.

So my question is, is this a proper way to train? Heavy sets to start for strength gains and then cap the workout off with lots of lower weight volume?

I already do this for bench and it seems to work. I do heavy sets of 3x5 and then after a bunch of other chest and shoulder work finish the workout with 3x10 for lighter weight just to get in a bunch of volume.

you have no idea what each exercise is doing for your bicep and how many reps or sets you need to actually do

you are just throwing darts on a board like 99% of lifters
stop asking retarded questions on /fit/ and dig into lifting literature instead and learn biomechanics

What does this even mean? You didn't even try to answer the question. You sound like a retard.

Race baiting retard.

Yeah. That's the concept of pyramidal training: this means higher weights, lower reps at the end. You can start from low weights and move forward or you can go the inverse way (reverse pyramid training). Whatever fits. Some dudes I know usually go this way: heavy ass weights at the beginning and sissy weights at the end when there's almost no gas in the tank.
No, I don't do pyramidal sets. I do classic 3x12(*) and going til failure in the last set.

>(*): set/reps depend on the muscular group
