• Ten Minute Arm Blast


    By Jon-Erik Kawamoto, M.Sc.Kin.(c), C.S.C.S., C.E.P.

    Second to the chest workout [see: Time Crunch Training: 15-Minute Chest Workout] here’s your probable next favorite: arms!

    This workout combines different curl and extension variations to challenge your muscles in slightly different ways - different training stimuli means more potential for more growth. Go through this circuit as many times as possible in 10-minutes. Focus on contracting your biceps or triceps as hard as possible at the peak contraction. On the biceps cheat curl, explode the barbell upward and lower slowly.

      Did this just this morning, great for pump...extremely intense. Probably not so great for strength over a short run. Helps with endurance of that area though. A few tweeks might help with strength.
