Arm Workout
Effective Tricep Finisher
During last nights workout the energy was lagging.
It was a great workout and everyone was pretty run down.
So I decided to challenge my workout partner on one of our last sets. We were finishing up with triceps after an upper body workout and we decided to hit a giant set. But, little did I know. When Brad stepped up, he not only increased the weight, but did more reps! That bastard!
Team challenges with the workout can make all the difference when the workout is running down. Who knows why? Maybe everyone didn’t get enough sleep the night before, maybe they were just run down from the last workout, maybe their nutrition wasn’t that great OR maybe it was just a pretty intense workout.
When engaging a team or workout challenge you have to play off that male ego. Push them against each other and they will step up because no one wants to lose, especially a guy.
And it doesn’t matter what you are doing it works for any exercise or combination of exercises.
Here is the entire workout. You can see the flow moved from compound movements to isolation.
