Today's Workout 5: The circuit to crush your core

We know you love arms day, so we came up with this intense, three-move circuit to push your biceps and triceps to the limit.

Each exercise in this routine is “to failure,” meaning you’ll crush as many reps as you possibly can before moving on to the next exercise. Complete 10 rounds of this workout, and we guarantee your arms will feel like they’re going to fall off—but at least they’ll be on their way to massive muscle growth.

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for 5–10 rounds.

In this workout, exercises marked A and B are done as alternating reps; you’ll do a rep of exercise A, then a rep of exercise B, then another rep of exercise A, and so on, to the point of failure.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest periods between circuits. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
