First of all, since you are doing a full-body program, which is great, I want to urge you to try not to get too hung up on things like biceps or other individual muscles. Stick with it it and things should start to even out.

As far as the curls, I think the barbell should be your preprered curl instead of the zig-zag (EZ Curl) bar. Stop doing so much hammer position stuff. The best overall position for biceps is a supinated (palms facing upwards) grip. (The EZ bar is more like a semi hammer grip). Hammer stuff should be secondary.

You can get into the anatomy of the elbow flexors and so on and get a WHOLE lot more complicated. But thats the basics that should serve you well right now.

The only stats you need to compare to are your own previous ones. Use other peoples, if you must, as motivation or inspiration.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
