3 Exercises To Improve Your Arms & Abs

Over the last ten years as a trainer, I have done over 10,000 assessments with gym members. During that time, I have come to learn that most people want either nicer arms or abs. So I decided to throw together a circuit you can use to achieve that goal. I recommend using it at the end of your next upper body or cardio day.

Use the double progression method for the following exercises on a cable machine. Choose a weight that allows you to perform 12 to 15 reps. Once you can perform 15 reps with that weight for 3 rounds, increase it by five pounds in the following workout and try to perform 12 to 15 reps. You will only increase the weight when you can achieve 15 reps for each round. Perform the exercises below in a circuit fashion.

• Cable Arm Curl 12-15 reps

• Cable Tricep Pushdown 12-15 reps

• Cable Dead Bug 6-8 reps per leg

  • Rest 30 to 60s between exercises

  • Repeat 2-4 times

*if you don’t have access to a cable machine then a band can work too.
