Curls Bicep Pump 200lbs 3 sets x3 reps :)warm up with 80-110-140-170lbs see how you feel 5-10reps
Introduction
I've recently shared an intense workout experience that probably wasn’t the best idea since my plans to go biking afterwards—but hey, it's all about pushing those limits, right? Today, I'm focusing on bicep curls, tackling an aggressive three sets of 200 lbs for three reps each.
Warm-Up Routine
To prepare, I made sure to warm up properly. Here's the progression I followed for my warm-up sets:
- 80 lbs: This was just to get the blood pumping and muscles ready.
- 110 lbs: I started feeling the tension in my arms.
- 140 lbs: At this point, I was really getting into the groove.
- 170 lbs: This colder weight increased my focus and mindset for the big lift ahead.
The warm-up allowed me to feel how my body responded before attempting my maximum efforts.
Bicep Workout Details
After the warm-up, I jumped straight into the heavy lifting:
- 200 lbs: I'm alternating my grip to keep things dynamic—close, wide, and then close grip again. This keeps my biceps challenged from different angles.
- Each set consists of three reps, and I planned for about two more sets.
After hammering out these sets, I’ll likely switch gears and do a bit of leg work.
Post-Workout Plans
Believe me, when I say my triceps are shooting with pain, while my biceps are just stinging and completely pumped right now! I can feel the size and intensity of the workout—definitely satisfying!
Once I wrap up my upper body session, I plan to hop on my bike for a good ride. Also, I'm excited to celebrate my parents’ 29th wedding anniversary later today, so there's great motivation to finish strong!
