Hi Love!

This is not your average arm workout. This training session puts a fun spin on the classic bicep and tricep exercises we all know and love. Because let’s face it, it’s pretty boring to do the same old standard bicep curls and tricep kickbacks every upper body day. Sometimes you’ve just got to spice it up to stay engaged in your training sessions. 

Why not try something new in the pursuit of sexy sculpted tank top arms? You can find the full workout instructions below.
