What's up guys!?
So, for some sick reason the universe decided it would throw me the NASTIEST arm workout I've done in years... It's in John Meadows program, but here it is.... I dare you to try it:
Warmup your bis and tris with a few sets of rope pushdowns and curls
When you're warmed up, grab some heavy-ish DBs for curls and walk over to the seated curl machine (I used 35s and it sucked plenty), you can always start heavy and lower as needed.
6 reps of standing DB curls. Keep your pals supinated (towards the ceiling) the whole time. Slowly bring the weight up and take 3 seconds on the decent to lower the weight back to the starting position. You will know you're at the bottom of the position when you flex your tris, then back up and lower for 3 seconds again. This hurts a bit.
IMMEDIATELY after those 6 reps turn the DBs and do 6 hammer curls. Control the weight.
Right after those hammers hop on the curl machine and do 6 reps. At the top of each rep flex HARD for a second then lower it. These feel like fire, seriously.
Do 4 sets of that giant super set.
Standing barbell curl supersetter with 1 arm preacher is next.
Start with 8 reps of barbell curls, immediately supersetter with 8 reps per arm of 1 arm DB curl on the preacher. I alternated which arm started first each set.
4 sets total. That's it for Bi's (although, after all this I went with
@OdieM suggested and did an FST 7, fucking ouch).
5 sets of 15 rope pushdowns, flexing at the bottom with only 3 seconds of rest in between sets. I was struggling to completely flex around set 4, which I think is OK.
Close grip bench w/ EZ bar. Try and keep the bar more around your face, rather than your chest... Pyramid up in weight each set, do 1 set of 12, then 10 and finally 8. Take 3 seconds to lower the weight and DRIVE it up into lockout.
Lastly is behind the head tricep extensions using the rope grip. I wheeled a military press style seat over to the cable and did it this way. I'm sure standing or with a bar would be fine as well. 4 sets of 25...
Well, with workouts like this lets see how much these arms can grow!
