Testing out a workout I wrote for my upcoming program I’m calling THE BOX SET
Arms Assualt
*I’ll get into the program I’m writing more and more in the next 4 months, but this is a sample. I wasn’t quite sure how the Heavy Arm Day was going to work, but I think I learned some valuable things from testing this one.
Description:
On most muscle groups, the “HEAVY” day will resemble a Wendler’s 5/3/1 workout, but since bi’s, tri’s, and forearms aren’t something that Wendler focuses on, it’s a little trial and error on what kind of rep range and weight was most effective. After trying a rep range of 10, I felt like it was going past what should be the “heavy” aspect and that in anticipation of so many reps, I started with a lower weight than I should have. In couple weeks when I do this workout again, I think I will do a 6-8 rep range attempting to be at a weight that achieves near failure on rep 6 of the 5th set.
I also think I am going to change it to more of a bicep, then tricep, bicep, then tricep, then 2 forearm exercises. Not in a supersetting way, this is a heavy day, but to give the muscle a little break, so I can hit it hard with the second exercise also. Triceps were a little easier to gauge since I actually know my 1RM on Close Grip. I think I will use my straight bar curl max as a barometer for the EZ Bar Preacher in the future.
