Armed to the Core Workout,biceps,&Triceps,
Arms Workout:
This workout isn't easy. You're going to feel some pain. But you can't focus on the pain. Focus on your vision, your goal, your purpose—that will get you through anything. Keep your mind on the results and the energy will come.
Are you afraid of being normal Then don't be! This deceivingly simple arm workout will hit your favorite muscle group from a range of angles. The creator says his reward for incorporating it consistently were arms that came in at just under 17 inches in circumference.
Hammer-grip rope curl
Measure yours—flexed, of course!—with a tape at the peak before and after a few weeks under this protocol. The supersets will leave you gassed, so don't expect to move much weight in the skullcrushers and close-grip bench at the end.
This routine is meant to plug into your existing workout using the classic "bis with back, tris with chest" split. You use your biceps heavily in pulling lifts like pull-ups, rows, and even deadlifts, while your triceps play a major role in all manner of push motions, from the bench to the military press.
Dumbbell lying triceps extension
Start with your big-ticket strength movements, then chase a pump to your heart's content. Take both equally seriously, and you'll see improvement in both your core lifts and your mirror muscles.
It's easy to get lost in the details when it comes to arm training. You use one cable attachment for one head, one for another, and hold your pinky just so while envisioning the precise cuts in your finished sculpture. That's one way. Another is to train arms like you (hopefully) train legs: by moving a heavy barbell first, and then finishing them off with dumbbells until smoke starts coming out of your sleeves.
Close-grip bench press
Using the logic of "what's good for the bis is good for the tris," this workout uses symmetrical programming to create symmetrical results. Perform the routines on separate days, or as a single routine your choice! But however you do it, save room for the burning forearm triset after your final arm workout of the week.
Make no mistake: Big, defined arms get built by following a well-designed program on a regular basis. But it's also helpful to break out of the routine every once in a while, with a full-on assault to shock your muscle in a way that you know will hurt like a mother for days afterward. This program is meant to be indulged in just once a month, and you'll struggle to get your keys out of your pocket afterward.
Triceps push-down
Feel free to substitute different curl or press variations if you can't hold down all this equipment for 20-plus minutes at a time. But don't feel free to leave anything in the tank afterward.
Killer! As in, you might die, bro. This 31-set death march of biceps and abs is another once-in-a-while shocker to wheel out when you've got a couple of hours to spare and want to push yourself to your absolute limit. It works even better if you've got a partner with you who is willing to follow it in an "I go, you go" style.
Single-arm incline curl
This routine follows a reverse-pyramid structure, meaning your final set should be your heaviest. Consider yourself warned.
