ARMS

after feeling like sh*t all day yesterday and even taking a afternoon nap woke up still felt worthless i decided to carb up a bit. damn i love me some carbs but then again who doesn’t? for my first carb up meal i had 4 pieces of whole wheat toast 2 of them i put natural peanut butter and sugar free syrup on top and the other 2 i put some i can’t believe it’s not butter and sugar free jelly and had 3 15g detour protein bars. for dinner which was about 4 hours after that i grilled some burgers and had 2 whole wheat buns then had some sweet potato fries. i woke up this morning feeling full of energy and excited about hitting some arms. so here is my routine i did.
  • rope pressdowns superset with overhead rope kickouts 4×10-12 with one drop set a piece after the last set
  • spyder curls superset one arm preacher curls 4×10-12 one dropset on last set just with spyders
  • db skullcrushers superset close grip press 3×10-12 with one drop set on last set
  • standing cambered bar curls superset db hammer curls 3×10-12
  • standing concentration curls superset dips 2×12 on curls and failure on dips (around 20)
  • seatred reverse wrist curls 3×20
  • seated calve raise 4×12
  • leg press calve 3×12
today was the first time i’d ever trained arms like this. supersetting two exercises for bi and the same thing with tri’s instead of doing like i usually do which is bi with a tri. also it was the first time i had did a carb load at night time i usually do carbloads just during the day..and i definitly am going to start doing it this way. this is what i mean by you have to experiment with what works best for YOU and YOUR body as I stated in a previous post.

these images were from a men’s workout magazine i tried to make them bigger but they looked distorted..can’t remember what issue it was from.

  1. That's a great Bi/Tri workout. I've been training Arms (Biceps and Triceps together) for some time now and I love it. Nothing beats a great Arm pump. It looks like you hit 4 Triceps exercises and about 7 Biceps exercises (depending on how you count reverse wrist curls)... why is that? Do you feel your Biceps are lagging behind your Triceps? Also, I'm curious, do you always train calves with Arms? I realize I should say "always" because we change around how we combine muscles groups, but I'm wondering if you hit calves again with another muscle group or is that it? Sorry to hit you with so many questions...I just found you blog today and of course I went directly to the Arm training post. I'll read more soon. Take care,
