TRAINING GUIDE — ARMS

Arms training

Curls, extensions, and the rest of the arm work. Arms already assist on chest and back days, so single-joint work belongs later in the session.

Muscles in this group

Tailrep splits groups into individual muscles, so the same "Arms" session still records what you targeted.

  • Biceps
  • Triceps
  • Forearms

Pick exercises so that neither the target muscle nor the equipment gets lopsided. Save the result as a routine and next time you just pick it, starting from last time's weights.

  1. 1Open with what you can load heaviest (barbell, machine)
  2. 2Add targeted work (dumbbell, cable) in the back half
  3. 3Combine exercises that hit different muscles within the group
  4. 4Save the session as a routine and pull it up next time
