Coach doing arms 8/07/14

Hammer Curls- 4x10
Arnold Curls- 4x8
Banded Curls- 4x10
Tri Push downs- 4x12
Priest Tri's- 4x10
Db behind the neck tri s- 3x10
Single Arm Banded Push Downs- 4x12


As you can see lots of sets and lots of work. Rest periods were only two mins or less between sets. Make sure to use good form on each set. Good form means the muscles have to work, and hard  working muscles produce big gains.


Have fun.

More Priest Tri's

Lee says that this was one of Arnold's favorite tri exercises. I am becoming a big fan as well.

This video shows a guy pushing the prowler on asphalt which is very tough. We push ours on both turf and the asphalt. We always push for at least 25 yards. Outside we have done some 40 yard pushes.

I started isolating arms to get more work in and now its starting to pay off. My left elbow bothers me most of the time that is why you don't see skull crushers and tri extensions on here. I got rid of those exercises years ago due to lots of pain in the elbows. This workout will really help you build some major guns. Focus on good form and don't cheat yourself.
