My wife and I hit the gym last night with our usual intensity - all out.

We did antagonist supersets with bi’s and tri’s.

The first exercise was single arm overhead tricep extension. I use the flexsolate straps as my handle so I dont have to worry about gripping a cable or using my grip. I prefer this over a dumbell as it keeps the tension on the tricep throughout the whole range of movement.

After each of the three sets we would hold a straight bar on a lower pully, lie down and then curl up. I would curl all the way up, half way down then all the way back up again - that counts as one rep. I prefer to lie-down on cable curls as it prevents any cheating and is easier on the back.

Next was decline dumbell tricep extensions. I chose a dumbell over the bar for variation and fuller range of movement - I like to stretch the tricep.

Followed was heavy dumbell preacher curls - working way up to 70Ib DB’s

The last superset was a movement I took from Brandon Curry. On a smith machine, lower the bar until it is a couple of pegs from the bottom, lean towards the bar grabbing hold of it about shoulder distance apart (feet way back, legs straight) and then lower yourself so the arms bend and head goes under the bar (like a reverse skull crusher). Then I would lie on the floot, grip the bar above me and curl my body towards it to work my biceps. This is a great finishing movement and pumps loads of blood into the muscle.

Non training day today - just cardio
