    Lee Constantinou's Lean Strength Back and Biceps Workout ► bbcom.me/2lhKmiZ
    Compared to some bodybuilding workouts, you get lots of rest but not because Lee Constantinou is a nice guy (although he is). He wants you to be able to fully recuperate between sets so you can apply maximum intensity at every set.
    "If you rush your rest, you're not going to have that same focus and intensity," Constantinou says. "Work hard, rest, and focus on your technique. You'll see bigger, wider lats and beefier biceps."
    | Rack pull |
    After warming up adequately, load your 5RM weight and see if it lives up to its name. A sixth rep should feel like a questionable proposition in each set. Keep your back straight, chest lifted, core tight. Sit back on your heels and drive through your hips; squeeze your glutes as you drive up. Pull your shoulder blades back so you can engage your lats; squeeze your lower back muscles as you lift. Use straps if you need to. Rest the full 3 minutes so you're ready to give it your all in every single set.
    | Weighted wide-grip pull-up |
    If a set of 6 reps isn't anywhere near failure for you, load up with either chains or a belt-whatever you have access to. Make sure you grip is outside shoulder width, and keep your chest lifted throughout the movement to fully engage your back muscles. Try not to round your shoulders forward, or you'll lose tension in your lats. Use part of your rest period to add more chain or more weights to your belt so you can hit failure at 6 reps.
    | Single-arm dumbbell row |
    Start with a warm-up set using light weight, then take 3 sets to failure at around 8 reps apiece. Use a slightly inclined bench to reduce pressure on your lower back and so you can fully engage and then stretch out your lats. Go straight from one arm to the other, working the weaker side first if possible. Keep your workout balanced so you isolate each lat equally. Then rest up.
    | Pull-down superset |
    You're not going to rest between exercises here, but you will get a 2-minute rest between supersets. You'll start the superset with a compound movement, the underhand pull-down, and then then move into an isolation exercise, the straight-arm pull-down. In both exercises, if the first set it too easy, make sure you increase the weight enough so you can maintain intensity, but no so much that you can't hit those 10 reps.
    | Barbell curl |
    Use just the bar for a warm-up set, then go straight to a weight where you'll fail at right around 8 reps per set. Keep your knees slightly flexed and your feet hip-width apart. Pull you shoulder blades back and fully straighten out your arms so you can get a full stretch across your biceps. At these heavier weights, you can relax your technique slightly to get the weights up. Just be sure you can control the negative portion and fully straighten your arms at the end to give your biceps a good stretch.
    | Standing hammer curls |
    Go heavy to the bitter end! Use a weight that causes you to fail at around 8 reps. Focus on squeezing each biceps on the way up, then slowly control the weight on the way down. Toward the end, if you find yourself loosening up your technique to raise the weight, be sure to balance it by focusing on a slow, controlled negative movement.

    I could really use some help!!
    So I'm 18 yo and I have been working out for about 6 months now. I have 19 inch arms, I max 285 on bench and 390 on squat, the thing I need help with is I have never taken a supplement in my life, dont know anything about them, I don't take pre workout or protein or creatine etc that I here everyone talk about, all i take is fish oil, a multivitamine and eat alot. so my question is what would I need to take to get bigger? stronger? more defined?, anything would help, thank you

    • @jacobebrown2344
      @jacobebrown2344 7 лет назад

      Joe Kalani just eat more calories. the rule of thumb is usually 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight. try two grams per pound, also up fats and complex carbs no sugar rich food you'll add extra unwanted body fat.supplments aren't a necessity but can help especially creatine, bcaa's whey and casein protein

    • @IceColdProfessional
      @IceColdProfessional 7 лет назад

      Joe Kalani Get yourself a rice cooker and skillet. Start cooking those rice n veggies. Eat that chicken. Take pre-workout before every session and eat any and everything you can. Pump hard!

      @baljinderm460 7 лет назад

      no high reps= nothing if you want to gain muscle do your highest weight even if you only do 2-5 reps

      It;s all bullshit. What I'll tell you now is more realistic and will determine your results:
      CALORIC SURPLUS=MORE MASS
      CALORIC DEFICIT=LESS BODYFAT, MORE STRIATIONS AND VASCULARITY.
      So don't listen to bullshit just go to the gym and train wisely but eat the appropriate amount of food for your goals.

    • @malignantastralinfestation5834
      @malignantastralinfestation5834 6 лет назад

      This is way late but the thing to do is both high rep and high weight. Drop sets are what you want for mass. High weight, low rep, multiple sets. If you can curl 40 lbs at max, curl 40 till you can’t curl any more. Then drop to 30 and do it again all the way down to just your naked arm. Thats how you get gains.

    • @leeconstantinoufitness
      @leeconstantinoufitness 7 лет назад

      We did a lot of volume on the back which the biceps are a secondary muscle for - you'll have hit enough biceps from the back workout alone so its more of a touch up finisher on them

    • @Nick374a
      @Nick374a 6 лет назад +1

      It's a common technique, doing cheat curls. There's nothing wrong with it, as long as you do it correctly. In my experience, it can be very difficult to squeeze out the last of energy of your biceps without cheating a bit on the last reps.
