Kris Gethin's Muscle-Building Trainer, Day 12

New Exercise and Fitness Review

Previous | Main | Next

It’s time to thrash your biceps, build solid calves, and hammer your abs.

As your body gets more conditioned, these workouts aren’t going to be so hard on your hands or joints. Your body will grow accustomed to working hard five days per week. No, the workouts won’t get easier, but you’ll be better prepared and more able to cope with really difficult lifting sessions.

After today, you have two days of active rest and recovery, so train as hard as you can. Give your biceps a reason to be sore.

Workout notes

• 
  

  During curls, slow down on the negative. You’ll get twice as much out of the lift.

  
  


• 
  

  During the contraction phase of dumbbell biceps curls, turn your hand as much as you can so your pinky is facing up and in. The slight twist will activate the peak of your biceps.

  
  


• 
  

  If you’re absolutely fatigued way before the required reps, strip some of the weight and finish the set.
