Ultimate Arms Sculpting Workout: Biceps & Triceps Focused Routine for Mass and Definition
Gym | Single Workout | Beginner: 4 exercises
Build bigger, stronger arms with this comprehensive biceps and triceps workout using a combination of EZ bar and cable movements. Designed for hypertrophy, this workout utilizes varying rep ranges to maximize muscle pump and muscle growth in a single session. Perfect for intermediate to advanced lifters, this non-superset routine offers focused isolation on each muscle group, helping you develop balanced, aesthetic arms with increased strength and definition. Let’s break it down exercise by exercise so you can perform each movement with proper intent and technique for optimal results.
"EZ Barbell Curl" kicks off the session with 4 sets of 15, 12, 10, and 10 reps. This staple biceps exercise targets the brachialis and brachii muscles, allowing for wrist-friendly grip and better biceps contraction. Make sure to execute strict form: avoid swinging and focus on a slow eccentric to fully engage the muscle fibers.
Next is the "EZ Bar Standing French Press," also for 4 sets of 15, 12, 10, and 10 reps. This overhead triceps extension primarily attacks the long head of the triceps, promoting full elbow extension and long-term triceps thickness. Keep elbows tight and stable throughout the movement for maximum isolation.
The third movement, "One Arm Bayesian Cable Biceps Curl" (4x15, 12, 10, 10), is a cable-based exercise that keeps constant tension on the biceps throughout the range of motion. By facing away from the machine and curling in an arcing motion, you're able to stretch the biceps fully before initiating the lift. Perform each rep with precision for maximum mind-muscle connection.
Lastly, the "Cable Standing One Arm Triceps Extension" mirrors the one-arm focus for symmetry and control. With 4 sets of 15, 12, 10, and 10 reps, this isolation move effectively targets the triceps' lateral and medial heads. Focus on a full range of motion and squeeze at the bottom of each rep for optimal definition.
This arms workout doesn't rely on supersets, giving you the opportunity to focus on each muscle independently, making it ideal for lifters aiming to correct imbalances and achieve maximum muscle activation. Remember to rest about 60–90 seconds between sets, maintain proper form throughout, and stay hydrated.
Consistency, progressive overload, and mindful execution are the keys to turning this workout into results. Pair it with a lean, protein-rich diet and sufficient recovery for maximum growth.
