Bicep Triple Superset: Hammer Curls, Regular Curls, Incline Bench Regular Curls
Now let’s get into the workout! We have two triple supersets, starting with the bicep exercises. The first superset consists of three exercises: hammer curls, regular curls, and incline bench regular curls. These exercises are great for targeting your biceps and will give you a killer pump.
Proper Form for Hammer Curls
When performing hammer curls, keep your elbow tucked in by your side. Maintain a controlled motion, squeezing the weight up to the top and lowering it without resting at the bottom. Aim for 10 reps with the heaviest weight.
Proper Form for Regular Curls
For regular curls, start with a neutral grip at the bottom and supinate your wrists as you curl up. Focus on squeezing your biceps throughout the entire range of motion. Complete 10 reps with a lighter set of dumbbells.
Proper Form for Incline Bench Regular Curls
Next, move on to incline bench regular curls. Lean back on an incline bench and keep your elbow back behind your body. Supinate your wrists and control the weight as you curl up and down. Complete 10 reps with proper form to target the outer head of your bicep.
Rest and Repeat: Four Sets of the Bicep Triple Superset
After completing one set of the triple superset, rest for 90 seconds. Then, repeat the superset three more times for a total of four sets. This will ensure your biceps are thoroughly worked and help you achieve maximum results.
Tricep Triple Superset: Skull Crushers, Cross Body Tricep Extensions, Dip Burnout
Now it’s time to focus on your triceps. The second superset includes skull crushers, cross body tricep extensions, and dip burnout. These exercises will help you sculpt strong and defined triceps.
Proper Form for Skull Crushers
Start with dumbbell skull crushers, but make sure you’re not resting your triceps at the top of the exercise. Begin with the weight at the starting position, about 90 degrees from your body, and lower it down. Squeeze your triceps to lift the weight back up without resting at the bottom. Aim for 10 controlled reps.
Proper Form for Cross Body Tricep Extensions
Grab a lighter dumbbell and perform cross body tricep extensions. Start with your arm slightly across your body to maintain tension in your tricep. Lower the weight just above your shoulder and then squeeze your tricep to lift it back up. Complete 10 reps on each arm with proper form.
Proper Form for Dip Burnout
For the dip burnout, find a flat bench and perform as many dips as you can. Make sure to keep your elbows pressed in to work your triceps effectively. Once you can’t do any more, stop and rest. Repeat this superset for four sets with a 90-second rest in between.
