When was the last time you spent an entire training session on bodyparts that usually get just a few minutes at the end of other workouts? We're talking abs, calves and forearms. It's not that you don't care about these muscles, but you have your priorities, right? Well, today you have permission to rest the majors to hit the minors.
This workout entails a thrashing of these three bodyparts using multiple exercises and varying rep ranges. On some sets you go as heavy as a six-rep max and on others you do 15—20 reps and beyond. As you hit the door to head home, you'll have no doubt that you indeed had something to train.
