As classic as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, biceps-and-triceps supersets are a tried-and-tested technique for building serious arms in one workout. Team Bodybuilding.com and MuscleTech-sponsored athlete Abel Albonetti are ready to share his particular brand of supersetting for arms.
"This workout is probably different from what you're used to Albonetti explains. "We'll start off lifting heavy on biceps at the beginning of the workout and lighter on triceps, then toward the end of the workout switch and lift heavier on triceps and lighter on biceps."
Already a fan of superset training and high-volume hypertrophy, Albonetti includes five supersets, blood-flow restriction (BFR) training, intra-set pauses, and one giant-set finisher into this arm-training gauntlet. The result: an insane pump and major arm growth.
