Hunter Labrada Full Arm Day Workout

Dumbbell Preacher Curl
One of the top bicep building exercises, Hunter Labrada starts off with the preacher curl. Labrada offers pointers on how to make this exercise work for you.
“COUPLE OF THINGS YOU GOT TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT THIS EXERCISE. YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR UPPER ARM SMASHED INTO THIS [SLANTED SURFACE]. WHAT YOU DON’T WANT TO DO IS MAKE YOUR ELBOW LIKE A FULCRUM POINT AND HAVE YOUR WHOLE SHOULDER OFF OF IT. [YOU] WANT TO THINK ABOUT KEEPING BASICALLY YOUR ENTIRE HUMERUS ACTIVELY PULLED BACK.”
“SECOND THING YOU WANT TO KEEP IN MIND IS WE WANT TO HAVE THE ARMPIT OF YOUR ELBOW [BICEP TENDON] ALWAYS FACING UP, STRAIGHT UP. SO, 12 O’CLOCK. I REALLY PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO GETTING MY BODY POSITIONED TO WHERE EVERYTHING IS LINED UP — SHOULDER, ELBOW, WRIST, ALL IN A STRAIGHT LINE.”
“BOTTOM OF THE EXERCISE, WE’RE GOING TO STRETCH AS FAR AS WE CAN WHILE KEEPING THE BICEP ACTIVE.”

Cuff Triceps Extension
Next Hunter Labrada moved on to working his triceps. With the cuff triceps extensions Labrada showcases a number of ways he performs the movement: bilateral and unilateral.
“I’D RECOMMEND DOING THEM [BILATERAL] UNTIL YOU GET REALLY STRONG AT THEM. AND THEN, I’LL SHOW YOU THE WAY I’VE STARTED DOING IT. PROBABLY IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS OR SO THE LOAD GOT HEAVY ENOUGH THAT IT WASN’T REALLY WORKING DOING BOTH ARMS AT THE SAME TIME.”
Bilateral
“THE BIGGEST THING FOR THIS IS OBVIOUSLY WE’LL HAVE THEM CROSS. HAVING THEM CROSS REALLY AFFORDS US PROPER JOINT ALIGNMENT. YOU’LL SEE THE CABLES RUNNING DOWN MY SHOULDER, ELBOW, AND WRIST AS I EXTEND. THE BIGGEST THINGS YOU WANT TO KEEP IN MIND IN THIS ARE — YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR SHOULDERS DOWN AND BACK. YOUR SCAPULA IS RETRACTED THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE MOVEMENT, AND YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS SIMPLE ELBOW FLEXION. ONLY JAB IF YOUR TRICEP IS TO EXTEND YOUR ELBOW. SO, THE MORE FLEXION YOU PUT IN IT, THE FARTHER IT HAS TO EXTEND UNDER GREATER WEIGHT.”
Unilateral
“THE ONLY DIFFERENCE, OBVIOUSLY, IS YOU’RE GOING TO BE DOING ONE ARM AT A TIME, AND YOU’RE GOING TO BE ANGLING YOUR BODY TO MAKE UP THE CABLE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT STANDING IN THE MIDDLE, AND THE ANGLE ISN’T THERE.”
