TACKING ON A FEW SETS OF CURLS AND KICKBACKS AFTER YOUR REGULAR ROUTINE ISN'T ALWAYS ENOUGH. BREAK THE TYPICAL CYCLE AND PUT YOUR ARMS THROUGH HELL - THEN WATCH THEM GROW.

HOW IT WORKS 

The longer muscles spend working while tensed, the better they adapt to the load by getting bigger and stronger. This routine trains the bi's and tri's from every angle and keeps them under tension for extended periods. Some sets will last as long as a minute -prepare to feel the burn.

Directions

Perform the workout once per week. On exercises that call for 60-second sets, choose a load that allows you about 30 reps, but don't go for a specific number. Set a timer for 60 seconds and perform as many reps as you can with perfect form and a normal cadence. Don't rush.

1) EZ-BAR CURL

Sets: 3 Reps: 8-10 Rest: 60 sec
