The Anvil

Heavy compounds. Own the load.

  1. 01

    Weighted Pull-Up

    4 × 68 · rest 2:30 · Back · Biceps

    Full hang. Pull elbows to hips, chest to bar. Use pulldown if you miss 6 clean reps.

  2. 02

    Barbell Row

    4 × 68 · rest 2:00 · Back · Biceps

    Hinge, flat back. Row to the hip. Pause one beat on the torso.

  3. 03

    Seated Cable Row

    3 × 812 · rest 1:30 · Back

    Proud chest. Drive elbows back. Don't turn it into a shrug.

The Fire

Volume that grows the muscle.

  1. 01

    Straight-Arm Pulldown

    3 × 1215 · rest 1:00 · Back

    Soft elbows. Sweep the bar to your thighs. Feel the lats, not the arms.

  2. 02

    Face Pull

    3 × 1520 · rest 1:00 · Rear delts · Delts

    Rope to your eyes. Externally rotate. Own the squeeze.

  3. 03

    Barbell Curl

    3 × 810 · rest 1:15 · Biceps

    Elbows at your sides. No swing. Control the negative.

  4. 04

    Hammer Curl

    3 × 1012 · rest 1:00 · Biceps

    Thumbs up. Strict. This builds the arm that fills a sleeve.
