I've been deloading for the past several days, but while I was waiting for the sauna to heat up, I decided I'd get a quick arm pump.
I grabbed my pair of 30 pound dumbbells and knocked out a set of slow, controlled, 15 reps.
Then I grabbed my thickest resistance band, looked it around my pullup bar, stepped back a bit to maximize resistance, and did 30 reps, really focusing on squeezing the triceps at peak contraction and then slowly fighting during the eccentric portion.
I repeated these 2 exercises for 2 more sets each, making 3 sets of biceps and 3 sets of triceps.
I was done in about 10 minutes and successfully acquired a nasty arm pump. Is there any better feeling?!
This ended up being a phenomenal mini arm workout before hopping in the sauna for 20 minutes.
Simple equipment + simple exercises + high effort...works.
No need to over complicate arm training.
Elbow flexion (bicep curl variation) + elbow extension (tricep extension variation) = bigger biceps + bigger triceps.
Nice little workout snack.
