This makes sense, and when I look at my workout that was tailored for me by someone who really knows their shit for boxing training, I see that they included bicep building along with the triceps.

I think possibly why it is shunned so much by boxers, is it is related to the type of 'get your biceps big and purdy' workouts that many do.
