Full arm session built on antagonist supersets... biceps and triceps going back to back for maximum pump, blood flow, and volume. 4 superset blocks + a burnout finisher. Every set counts. Just arms that fill out your sleeves. 

~45 min

Tempo: Controlled | Biceps ↔ Triceps
Heavy barbell superset. Go heavy, stay strict. Curl → Skull Crusher with no rest between. 90s between rounds.

GOAL
Get some blood flow to your biceps #CurlsForTheGirls

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with your dumbbell supine aka palm is facing up towards the ceiling. 
2. Fully stretched out like a kitten in the sun, begin curling one arm by contracting the bicep. 
3. Bring the bar just above elbow height and return to a fully stretched position.
4. Keep shoulders blades back and down. 

Pro-Tip: Watch that your shoulder doesn't lift the weight. If you start raising your elbows forward and away from your rib cage, that is a sign your shoulder is being a controlling bitch. Instead, isolate that bicep. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Don't Front Raise the Weights
- Initiate from Bicep not Shoulder
- Squeeze
- Full Stretch

Barbell Curl

GOAL
Tricep sculptor…just keep those elbows in place 

DETAILS
1. Lay on a flat or incline bench, with an EZ-Curl bar in your hands.
2. Grab the EZ-Curl bar and extend overhead. With elbows by chin, lower the bar slowly to behind forehead.
3. Squeeze your triceps to extend the weight up. 
4. Keep your elbows and shoulders in place. 
5. Pause at top and then repeat. 

CUES
- Elbows by Chin
- Wrists Neutral
- Be a Badass Cuz Most Guys Don't Even Do These

EZ Bar Skull Crushers

Block A: Heavy Antagonist

Tempo: Controlled | Biceps ↔ Triceps
Cable isolation superset. Constant tension, full squeeze. Kneel for curls, hinge for kickbacks. 60s between rounds.

GOAL: kill the ego, isolate the curl. #NoMomentumZone

DETAILS:
1. Cable low, grab the bar or rope
2. Drop to both knees, chest up, core locked
3. Curl up with intent, squeeze the hell out of it at the top
4. Lower slow — 2-3 seconds, no dropping

CUES:
- elbows glued to your sides
- squeeze like your life depends on it
- lean back and it doesn’t count

PRO-TIP: kneeling strips away every cheat code your body loves to use. your biceps don’t care about the number on the stack, they care that you can’t swing your way through it.

Kneeling Bicep Cable Curls

GOAL 
Single arm extension with a hinged position 

DETAILS
1. Straddle a cable bench and remove handles. 
2. Grab the balls on the cable and hinge over. 
3. Pull shoulder blades back. 
4. Grab cables. Right triangle to pinky flex at end range of rep. 
5. Squeeze back with tricep and flex pinky towards ceiling. 
6. Lower slowly, keeping shoulders back and elbows close. 

Pro-Tip: do a drop set by resting knees on foot pads [check end of video] 

CUES
- Flex Pinky
- Shoulders Back 
- Neutral Back 
- Squeeze from Triceps

Cable Tricep Kickback

Block B: Cable Antagonist

Tempo: Slow | Biceps ↔ Triceps
Peak contraction focus. Spider curls kill momentum, cross-body extensions isolate the long head. 60s between rounds.

GOAL
Use gravity and eliminate momentum to blast those muscle fibers to shreds #Shredz

DETAILS
1. Grab those dumbbells in each hand, lay chest forward on an incline bench and scoot up to where you get a good strong position at the top. 
2. While straddling the bench, let the weight pull your arms to a dead hang. 
3. Begin to curl the weight up, only hinging at the elbow.
4. Use your spidey focus to keep the elbow directly below the shoulder and not letting that fucker creep back. Don't shorten the range by pushing the elbow back behind your shoulder. 
5. Now squeeze that ish.

Beware: Beware of web-like material squirting out of your wrists after these curls. So worth it. 

CUES
- Squeeze
- Stationary Elbow
- Elbow Directly Below Shoulder
- Control That Negative

Spider Curls

GOAL
What a beautiful exercise name #minimalism

DETAILS
1. Lock that elbow into place. 
2. Tall chest, stand perpendicular from a cable set at a high height. 
3. Begin with elbow at 90 degrees across the chest. 
4. Squeeze from tricep to extend. 
5. Flex wrist at bottom of rep. 
6. Open your chest through out the movement.
7. Slowly return to right triangle. 

CUES
- Right Triangle 
- Proud Chest
- Flex Wrist
- Squeeze Don’t Swing

Across the Chest Single Arm Tricep Extension

Block C: Isolation Squeeze

Tempo: Controlled | Biceps ↔ Triceps
Pump finisher. Waiter curls for the long head, banded extensions for continuous tension. 45s between rounds.

GOAL
Michelin man maker. Use this as mainly a drop set 

DETAILS 
1. Grab a dumbbell. 
2. Palms facing up. 
3. Squeeze your biceps to lift up 
4. Elbows go out. 
5. Try not to shrug too much. 
6. Lower slowly. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Externally Rotate 
- Elbows Out 
- Squeeze from Bicep

Waiter Curl

GOAL
Tricep sculptor  

DETAILS
1. Standing upright with the torso straight and a very small inclination forward, bring the upper arms close to your body and perpendicular to the floor. Slightly push hips back.
2. Using the triceps, press straight down until the arms are fully extended perpendicular to the floor. The upper arms should always remain stationary next to your torso and only the forearms should move. Exhale as you perform this movement.
3. After a second hold at the contracted position, wrists slowly up to the starting point. Breathe in as you perform this step.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Squeeze from tricep
- Proud Chest
- Hips Back

Banded Tricep Extensions

Block D: Pump Finisher

GOALS
Bicep builder that develops size and strength 

DETAILS
1. Stand tall with shoulder blades back and down.
2. Begin the curl by pushing the elbow forward and keeping the shoulder blade back.
3. Squeeze the bicep to curl the weight up just above the elbow.
4. Lower slow by actively pushing your elbow forward.
5. Repeat on the other side.
 CUES
- Elbow Forward
- Shoulder Blades Back
- Proud Chest 
- Squeeze Bicep

Alternating Hammer Curls

GOAL
So much concentration required on these you're going to be feeling like Yoda. No dilution needed. Lock in your elbow to prevent shoulder movement and just use that bicep #UseTheForce

DETAILS
1. With a dumbbell, sit down, and lock your elbow on the inside of your knee. 
2. Position your shoulder directly over your locked in elbow.
3. Begin rep by squeezing your bicep, only the forearm moves. 
4. Finish the rep with the dumbbell just above the middle of your bicep. 

Reps are per arm. 

Pro-Tips: Your chest can be tilted up more or level, whatever feels good. 

CUES

- Lock in Elbow
- Relax Shoulder
- Dead Hang
- Squeeze Hard at the End
- Sell Tickets to Gun Show
