Today's Workout - Dec 31 - Last workout of 2010!

Arms - Biceps & Triceps

*Compound Sets with Circuit Training style incorporated.
We all know what compound sets are because I've blogged about it before. So if you don't know or can't remember, just comment, And I'll re post.

Circuit Training is a type of cardio and/or weight training model where you don't rest in between exercises, and move quickly from one exercise or movement to the next. The benefits of this type of training model is that your heart rate remains high so you also get a full cardiovascular workout at the same time you train your muscles. If you've ever taken Body Pump @ Goodlife (or alike programs at other gyms) you've done circuit training, and know what a great tool it can be in your fitness belt!

Always start with the larger muscle group which in today's workout is the Tricep.

1) Tricep Cable Pull Downs

2) Bicep Cable Curls (or dumbbell curls work too)

3) Tricep Dips

4) Chin Ups

5) Tricep Extensions w/ Dumbbells

6) Barbell Bicep Curls

Complete ONE set of each exercise, aim for 12 reps each. DO NOT rest in between each movement. At the end of the 6 exercises you can take a 2 min break, get water, and then repeat 1-6 again, twice more!

Your arms should look like this by the end of your workout :P
