New Routine - Arms
I’m really liking Branch’s workout. Its hitting all the basics, which I like. Not going as high on the rep volume I’m finding I can push a lot harder. My body is definitely confused with what I’m trying to throw at it and responding nicely. The new stack is beginning to kick in a bit more noticeably, too. The biggest difference being on any PH product is the difference in pumps. With an NO product, its more of the temporary increase in the levels in the blood stream. In my present case, its an increase in the volume of red blood cells on top of that, which is more sustained and constantly in effect as long as I’m taking the stuff. So my muscles are looking much fuller from this, but functionally its better to shuttle more nutrients to and toxins away from the muscles.
Anyhow… Today’s workout was arms:
Standing Dumbell Curls 3×8: 35/40/45
Standing Barbell Curls 3×12: 70/80/80
Seated Preacher Curls (EZ Bar) 3×12: 75/85/95
Tricep Pushdowns (Not X-Cable) 3×15: 80/90/100
Seated Dip Machine 3×15: 150/160/180
Rope Pushdowns (X-Cable) 4×12: 120/130/140/150
For the dip machine, it was the same one used for the Chest workout, but the handles were adjusted to be about 3" further forward so it put more of the work on the triceps instead of the pec and "teres twins". Didn’t have to use the seat belt this time, but I foresee that I’ll need to in the near future…
Legs tomorrow and they’re in for a very mean workout… Walking this weekend should be, err… interesting.
