Thursday was Arm-day

Curls for the Girls, Bi's for the Guys


Triceps
Heavy Reverse-grip Bench: 5x7 (palms up, hands about shoulder width or just a tad wider. Bring bar
                                                        down until biceps are parallel with your chest/body. Go too low and
                                                        you'll strain something)
Single-arm DB Skull-Crushers: 3x12 (laying on bench)
Single-arm Bent over Triceps Curls: 3x12 (Using a 10 lbs plate or dumbbell, bend over like doing a
Arm not flat = CHEATING = do less weight!!!    one-armed row, keep your elbow pinned/close to your hip
                                                                         and parallel to the ground. Extend your arm until it's
                                                                         straight, curl you wrist outward at the end to really tighten
                                                                         your inner triceps.)

Biceps
Flatbar Curls: 3x12 **Move your grip to a different position after each set to work a range of muscles
Flatbar Reverse Curls (palms down): 3x12 **keeping your wrist locked parallel with forearms
                                                                             strengthens your wrist and forearm**
Heavy Half-curls on Preacher bench: 5x7 (let your arm go just barely past 90 degrees as you extend;
                                                                        focuses on your upper bicep. Gives you the v-cut between            
                                                                        your bicep and deltoid)
Concentration Curls on Cable machine: 3x10-12 (with cables about chest height, and bicep and
                                                                                    forearm parallel to the ground at all times, bring
                                                                                    hand in to your opposite pec/arm pit at moderately
                                                                                    slow speed.)
