1st workout of the day
So i went to the gym 1 hour before work. To get my biceps worked out real good and not have to worry about it when i go back to the gym in the evening to do my quads, hamstrings, calves and abs. I usually have very grueling hard leg days. So went there started with the bread and butter for biceps Barbell curl (z-bar, to take the pressure of the forearms). I always mixed it up whether it’s my own training or a clients, just to keep the muscles guessing. I Decided to go for a unique style of supersetting. Did narrow grip barbell curl and followed it (no rest) with normal grip. 45-60sec rest, then started with normal grip (no rest) straight to wide grip. again rest 45-60sec. Then started with a wide grip and followed it with a narrow grip. So you get the picture. I did a total of 6 sets (2 sets per stance) 6 reps. Oh my god, i was feeling pumped. The pump i was getting was just amazing, felt like my arms are gonna explode any minute. After that i moved to Bicep dumbbell curl standing supersetting it with Reverse barbell curls. Total of 4 sets 8reps. After that seated dumbbell hammer curls with a slight incline on the bench (so i can’t cheat and pull the weight up with body movement) total of 4 sets 8 reps. At this point i was done, felt like all the blood rushed into my biceps. Love that pump!!! haha. So to finish it off, i always do cable crusifix concentration curls to get my bicep peak out. People always ask me how i do that. I suggest that you do this exercise if you are lacking this peak on your biceps. So as you can probably guess, my workout was very fast paced and intense. The lady on the counter was like damn you are done???! tired or lazy to workout she asked me.. i answered with a smile that im coming back in the evening. some people don’t get it, you don’t need to spend countless hours in the gym. I see people in my gym, having rest between sets for like 5-10minutes. You are not gonna get a fatburning effect by doing that. It’s actually working against you, if you stay in the gym for too long. Your body will have spent most of your energy and it starts eating away your muscles, which you don’t want, cause that will result in a slowing down of your metabolism. So i would say no matter what (UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARING FOR A COMPETITION AND NEED TO DO LOT’S of CARDIO ETC.) but in general don’t workout for more that 60-90 minutes without nutrition. Can’t wait for tonight’s leg workout. Excited and scared at the time. Gonna punish them! haha.
