This workout is true to it’s name.  Today Chris and I did the One on One series ‘Just Arms’ for a mix up to our workout routine.  Tony Horton takes you through just over 45 minutes of, well,  just arms.  The sequence is bicep, forearm, tricep supersets.

As is typical of Tony’s weight lifting pattern, he recommends 8 – 10 reps on the moves at a weight that leaves you burning at the end.  For me that means a 20lb or 15lb dumbbells for biceps, 15lb or 10lb for most of the forearms, and 15lb dumbells or a heavy resistance band for tricep action.  Chris, of course went much heavier with biceps in the 35lb and 30lb range, forearms in the 20lb or 15lb range and triceps in the 20lb range.

This was a fast paced workout which I like.  I started to sweat after about 15 – 20 minutes which normally occurs sooner for me but the arms, especially for me, are not my big muscle groups so I’m guessing that’s why it took longer.  And the pump you get in your arms is great.  Both Chris and I are still feeling this one now 5+ hours later and both our arms are still more pumped than usual.

I have no doubt that Chris will want to have this as part of our bi-weekly workout rotation schedule!

I also did the TurboFire 15 minute HIIT today but I’m going to write about that one separately.
