Big Als Biceps Workout 3/4/23

 Biceps day. Glad to be making arms now a regular thing. Having trained them only  a dozen or so times, over the last 10ish years. Now I'm training them on average about once every 10days. 

Hopefully all the compound work I've done over the years, has worked them indirectly so they are not too far behind, but deffo need to make up for lost time.

Opened up the workout with some prone banded curls. It took a little while to find my sweet spot regards the weight to be used, but settled on 150lb. Did three working Sets (heavy duty style).

The pump of that was amazeballs. I could have even left the workout there, as my arms were all kinds of messed up. But I couldn't resist my fave arms movement - Preacher curls.

I warmed up one set, on 12kg for 10reps per arm, before doing two working Sets on 18kg dumbells. The second set I went for 8reps per arm, forcing through with my spare hand, any reps I couldn't do. I made a point of adding a twist to each rep also. To work the pronation aspect of the biceps movement.

Finally I finished off on ez 21s. This was to chase the pump and make sure I had worked the biceps to max. If I'm totally honest, at the time this felt greedy. I felt like I should have stopped on preachers. I do have the tenancy of overtraining, which is why I opted for an ez rather than straight bar. As the angled ez bar puts less strain on the pronation, and all the focus just on the flexors of the arm. 

I'm aching now, so regardless it was a good workout. Hopefully I didn't do too much and my recovery as a result, will be as quick as possible ready for the next work.

Cheers and beers and thanks for reading my weights journal. BIG AL 💪 🍺 🦖
