BICEPS FINISHER!
HANG EM, BANG EM OR BURN (1 ROUND)
• STANDING DB CURLS (12RM) ==> STANDING DB CURLS (1.5x reps from first set without dropping dumbbells)
Use your 12RM for a standing db curl and go to failure. After a brief 30 second rest, perform a second set of curls, this time attempting to complete 1.5x the number of reps you did on the first set without ever putting the dumbbells down. For instance, if you did 11 reps in the first set, you would be attempting to complete 17 (rounded up) in the second. If you had to put the dumbbells down to rest, you would get just 10 seconds to rest and would have 3 additional penalty reps assessed each time this happened. Finisher ends when you complete all reps.
