ARMS DAY

WED. MAY 30

Today's work out was based loosely on http://brighton.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~prajlich/manfred/6manfrd_nolink.html

Barbell Curls with the EZ curl cambered bar 2 x 8 with 205 lbs.
(A power style curl dragging it up my body keeping the stress on through the reps.)

Standing 1 Arm Dumbbell Tricep Extensions overhead 3 x 8 - 12 with 75 lbs.
(Got only 10 on my last set.)

1 Arm ROLLING THUNDER handle Cable Curl 2 x 10 each with the low cable crossover cable with 120 lbs.

1 Arm Rope Handle Cable Curl 2 x 12 each with 120 lbs.
(More gripping than the dumbbell hammer curl because of the rope handle.)

Tricep Cable Pressdown with the inverted "V" handle ^ 3 x 12 at 110 lbs.

Quick work out, about 25 minutes. Heavy and low sets and low reps.
Light stretching for the biceps and triceps afterward.

My arm work looks heavier and abnormal but it still stems from my armwrestling training in the gym. We did EVERYTHING low reps/heavy for tendons strength at the table and explosiveness.
There was no such thing as "isolation exercises".
Just as much weight as you could do and lift as hard as you could to make them as strong as you could for the next tournament.
It had nothing to do with how you looked in the mirror or about posing them.

That's the ONLY reason I can train arms heavy like I do and did here.
