Don't worry too much about your biceps and be sure not to over work it, little to no work is sometimes better than over working because over working can actually hinder muscle growth. Never overwork a muscle group.

So you aren't feeling the burn, don't worry it might be because you just started now after a while you will start feeling it. I normally do preacher curls, dumbbells, hammer, be sure not to focus on a single exercise either.

The left bicep not being as big as the right is totally normal. It's mainly because you are right handed, but after a while your left biceps will be as big as your Right’s but your right will double Wink

Also, i know biceps seems important(because that's the most visible evidence of you hitting the gym Tongue) , I used to overwork my biceps when I first started, it will always, always,backfire. Be sure to work all your body parts, set up a schedule, if you want I'll give you my timetable. I'm so glad you started hitting the gym!  ^.^

Work hard play hard!! Big Grin

Thanks a lot man! :p 

The thing that is my main issue is when I contract/flex my biceps I can't feel them contracting at all but my friends that I've asked say they can feel them contracting. I'm wondering if that's normal. Although when I do flex it is visible.

I do have a schedule but it's not very detailed so to speak, it's just the first times I went I just wanted to get a feel of the exercises and get used to them but now I'm starting to get more oriented.

Good. It'll take time but don't give up. You started just a few weeks before so it's normal to not feel much effect.
Sleep well too, a good sleep will help rebuild those muscles. Eat well too, eat protein more.
After 3 months you will start feeling the effects if you work... Smart, not hard.
Just keep doing your thing, in a few months people will start noticing differences
