Recently I suggested 'Workout of the Month' to Men's Health where I would stick up a different workout each month and guys could have a bash at it. The goal is to have your own structured and progressive routine but the odd time just have a go at something different. Last months Workout of the Month was chin to dip ladders. Starting at just single repetitions you work your way up in this sort of...
I am loving this sexy super set at the mo. A barbell preacher curl to start and straight away switch to the tricep overhead ext. I simply spin around in the preacher bench and use the arm support as a back support. The pictures may not be great but hopefully you get the jist of this arm busting gun blaster! (Best placed at the end of a Full Body or Upper Body...
The recent Back N Bi's post generated a bit of interest so I thought you may like this Chest N tri's combo! Again go for an isolation of the arms first before moving onto the more compound move to bring the chest and tris into play.Here you have the skull crusher - the dogs balls for the triceps.After 10 of those bad boys switch to 20 reps on your next lift - in this case the close grip bench press.With the Close Grip Bench I prefer to touch the belly button and push away -...
Last year I really felt my legs and back were my worst body parts. I could squat and dead lift pretty good weights but the size just wasn't going on there as I would like. Check these tips on improving everything and how to give your physique the balanced look. Enjoy.Vary rep ranges, frequency and volume. Muscles are both fast and slow twitch in make up. Having power days and days of higher reps can help stimulate growth - this increased frequency can also help.Unilateral work. My legs have really responded to single leg movements such as the split squat variations. Try having your feet up on a bench and work with barbells and dumbbells.Small arms ? Work the triceps. They make up a greater percentage of the arm. You also need to bring up your shoulder girdle if you want guns and not pea...
I love training shoulders - In fact most of my favourite exercises are either pushing or explosive / powerlifting type moves.When pushing overhead you work the shoulders and triceps but I find with this exercise it just zaps everything. Your abs and back are trying to help you balance while your forearms and lungs are screaming for the set to end !As seen in the picture, this exercise is basically a military press but the extra bit of push and absorption from the legs helps you handle more weight. A great exercise which should be alternated with the strict military version (no leg help).Tip - Take the bar out from the squat rack when working with a weight that is simply too heavy to flick up into the start...
