*To build bigger triceps, the underhand grip is better than overhand. Here’s why:
“An overhand grip encourages the lifter to externally rotate the shoulder with pronation and an underhand grip internally rotates with supination. This influences the position of the elbow joint, and the elbow position relative to the body is most important when working the triceps for isolation and muscle size.
The elbows drift outward with the overhand grip, even if only a little. Flaring of the elbow is unavoidable due to shoulder internal rotation. But with an underhand grip, you prevent that infamous elbow flare.
This is where the underhand pushdown (also called reverse-grip triceps pushdown) shines.
Flipping to an underhand grip adducts the elbow so that it’s tucked nice and tight to the side with the arm back, which allows for more arm extension at the shoulder when in the fully contracted position.
The farther behind the body you can get your arm and the tighter to your side you can position the elbow, the greater the range of motion and the more fully you can contract the long head of the triceps muscle, which is the key muscle you’re trying to activate. So that you know where each of the heads of the triceps are located, refer to the graphic below to see long head, lateral head and medial heads”. - AthleanX

Kettlebell Isometric Static Curl Hold x 7
“Isometric holds for biceps can help increase the metabolic demands and metabolites such as lactate which may result in an increased production of natural anabolic hormones in your body. This increase in anabolic hormones can help facilitate new muscle growth (hypertrophy) through improved recovery and repair while the isometric hold itself is helping to flood the muscle with nutrients and blood – allowing you to further stretch out the fascia constricting your muscle.
Through the use of isometric holds for biceps, you have the ability to recruit more muscle fibers as when compared to the standard concentric and eccentric movement of an exercise. In order to increase strength, you need maximum fiber recruitment which can take place during isometric holds. Using isometric holds in your training can help reprogram your neuromuscular system to recruit and fire more muscle fibers when training with weights which can help improve your overall muscle strength”. - Evogen Nutrition

L-Sit Chin Up…
“The L pull-up has features of both the pull-up and the half lever. This movement really forces you to use the back to pull properly, and as the legs and core have to be held in a static position as well, it means that it is almost impossible to cheat on this exercise, as long as it is performed correctly.
With L-sit pull-ups, your legs are raised in front of you which causes the center point of gravity to change. This shift in gravity makes this pull-up variation more difficult. In addition, holding your legs raised in front of your body creates an intense isometric contraction in your abdominals and prevents you from jerking to cheat”. - Bodybuilding Wizard

Crazy Eights: 5 rounds @ 25lbs
This one combines four exercises, two for your biceps and two for your triceps, into a giant set. For eight minutes, you’re going to do 8 reps of each exercise. Choose a weight that you could normally use for 12 to 15 reps. (Don’t worry if you overestimate the weight and only get 6 reps. “Crazy Sixes” doesn’t sound as cool, but it works fine.)
A1. Seated Dumbbell Curl X 8
A2. Skull Crusher X 8
A3. Dumbbell Hammer Curl X 8
A4. Feet-Elevated Push-Up X 8
After completing each giant set (one round through all four exercises), you’ll take eight breaths and continue. Perform as many sets as you can in eight minutes.
Four exercises. Eight minutes. Eight reps each. Eight breaths after each set. Let it rip.

“Static holds are the unused key to gaining muscle and strength. Pulling or pressing against an immovable object, or even resisting a load over extended duration are great ways of triggering large amounts of mechanical tension and metabolic stress. They’re brutal, they’re hard. But hell will they result in muscle growth”.

The muscles involved in reverse curls are:
Biceps brachii – biceps brachii is usually just called your biceps. The biceps has two origin points up on your shoulder, and one insertion point down on your forearm. It’s a biaxial muscle, which means it crosses and affects two joints. The functions of the biceps are:
Brachioradialis – the brachioradialis is one of your main forearm muscles. A well-developed will push your biceps out, making for a more impressive upper arm. This will make your biceps look bigger, simply by “propping it up” from beneath. The brachioradialis muscle works alongside the biceps brachii to flex the elbow. It is also a forearm flexor.
Brachialis – located beneath the biceps brachii, the brachialis is another elbow flexor that is especially active at the start of any curling movement. Like Brachioradialis, it can push your biceps up to add to your arm size and shape
“Because reverse curls work your biceps AND your forearms at the same time, they save you from having to work these muscle groups separately. If you are short on time, this arm training twofer could be very welcome.
If you want big biceps and bowling pin forearms, this is the move for you. Reverse curls will change how your arms look, giving you upper AND lower arms you can be proud of”. - Fitness Volt
