Doing more damage than good?

I'm trying to hit my biceps hard and heavy.
My workout varies daily except I always workout my biceps. Recently I've added a morning(before school)bicep workout, on top of my already in place afternoon workout.

Now my question is: Am I hurting my body by not allowing my muscles to rest, or am I doing the right thing?

I dont mind changing the workout to every other day if I'm, in the long run, hurting myself.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Your only hurting your image, by becoming a curl jockey early on. Biceps are cosmetic, if you want to do something often enough that it may eventually hurt you, at least make it something useful.

Nahhh, its not early on.
I'm actually catching up by making my biceps bigger.
I used to hate working out my biceps so they started falling behind(size wise) everything else on my body.

Was that really necessary?
I asked a serious question and you had to make a total fool out of yourself.
Instead of assuming the "norm", actaully take the time to consider all the options.

Than what is your reasoning behind working your biceps 14 times a week and the rest of your body 3-4 times?

To catch my biceps up to the rest of my body.
I justified it in the quote right above yours.

I hated working out my biceps and used to refuse to.
Until I realized how stupid I was.
Now I'm having to play catch up.

Keep it to 1 day a week, after you do other important stuff. More =/= better.

Proper frequency of lifts/movement that yield the greatest gain + proper frequency of rest is the best. Meaning yes it is important to work all your muscles, but your focus should be on what ever lifts produce the most results and hit the largest/most muscle effectively.

A good example/analogy I have heard is if 10% of your work produces 90% of your profit/gain/capital/or in this case mass/strength. The numbers might be different, but the lesson to be learned is adjust your time accordingly to what is most beneficial to your physique. However, isolation and less effective exercises all help balance your overall fitness and keep everything in line.

for lack of effort to top this, he's right. The main point is to really not overexert your biceps because that will lead to huge problems

If you have to ask, it's probably not a good idea to continue doing what your doing.
