Got hit by another cold weather vortex today, but it didn't stop me from opening the garage door during training. I had to, because we have the hook for the TRX there, and it was the only way to get a good triceps exercise in today's garage gym workout. Training was a mini-meathead workout. So much fun. Great pump. It went like this.

1A) KB Clean & Press
1B) Slam Ball Slammin

2A) DB Lateral Raise
2B) Band Pull

3A) TRX Triceps Extension
3B) Powerblocks Palms-Up Curls

Pumped.

That led to a pumped up FB QnA.

Someone asked for the best arm exercise.

Answer:
There are lots of great arm exercises, but no "best". For triceps, you can do assisted dips on the machine at the gym, close-grip pushups, or lying dumbbell triceps extensions. For biceps, you can do assisted underhand grip chin-ups, palms up dumbbell curls, or palms-up seated incline curls. All of those are great.

Another reader wanted to know how to get back in shape fast.

Research showed that a single 4-minute workout was equal to 30 minutes of cardio. See here
