Ultimate Arm Day: EZ Barbell and Dumbbell Workout for Bigger Biceps and Triceps

Gym | Single Workout | Beginner: 4 exercises

If you're looking to carve out serious arm strength and definition, this targeted workout combines the best of EZ barbell and dumbbell exercises to help you build both size and muscle balance. Perfect for intermediate to advanced lifters, this arm routine hits biceps and triceps in a strategic format that ensures both muscle stimulation and symmetry. This is not a superset workout — each exercise is done individually with intensity and focus. Get ready to amplify your arm gains with controlled reps and proven techniques.

"EZ Barbell Curl" is your go-to for isolating the biceps with wrist-friendly grip. This classic strength builder targets the brachialis and biceps brachii, with 4 sets of 10 reps to ensure full muscle activation. Use controlled tempos and avoid swinging for maximum muscle contraction.

"EZ Barbell Decline Triceps Extension" is ideal for hitting the long head of the triceps. The decline angle increases the range of motion, making those extensions more effective. Keep elbows steady and go for a deep stretch to really fire up all three triceps heads.

"Dumbbell Alternate Seated Hammer Curl" is excellent for developing both your biceps and forearms, especially the brachioradialis muscle. Performing these seated prevents the body from using momentum, ensuring strict form and superior muscle isolation.

"Dumbbell Kickback" is a finishing move that laser-focuses on triceps definition. It’s one of the best isolation moves to enhance the back of the arms. Keep your core tight and the upper arm stationary to ensure that the triceps do all the lifting work.

By hitting both the biceps and triceps with targeted exercises and using both compound and isolation work, this workout ensures balanced growth and definition. Perfect as your primary weekly arm day routine or as an auxiliary workout in a push-pull-legs split, this training plan will help you sculpt impressive arms over time when paired with consistent nutrition and recovery.
