Gladiator Gun Show

on May 5 | in Health & Fitness, Issue 6 | by | with No Comments

 Guys, you know you want those impressive arms that
get the girls’ and guys’ attention!

Let’s knock out this high-end arm blast Friday afternoon,
just in time for the weekend.

Warm-up to minimize chance of injury. What most of you guys don’t realize is that shoulder flexibility is essential for arm growth.

Warm-up

2-minute circuit: Pick a light weight, do a dumbbell lateral, shoulder rotations, biceps curl, and triceps kickback.

For a maximum pump, I like to superset 1 biceps move then 1 triceps move.
