In this 5th installment of our Badass Workout of the Week, PJ Braun, president of Blackstone Labs and Prime Nutrition, puts your arms to the test with a barrage of biceps and triceps moves that will lead to some serious sleeve stretching when it’s all said and done.
Even though this is a high volume routine, you won’t need a lot of time to knock out this full-scale, arm assault. What you will need is the strength and determination to put your head down and get the job done. If it’s a killer arm pump you’re after, step up to the iron and give your guns a workout that will leave them smokin’.
Make no mistake, this week’s badass routine will be brutal on your biceps and triceps, but the rewards will be huge if you’re able to go the distance.
