The Sylvester Stallone Expendables workout has become one of the most popular celebrity fitness plans of the last few years and is now one of the most asked questions in gyms around the world, alongside things such as "Should women use weight?" and "Which whey protein should I use?"
Today you'll get a complete step-by-step guide showing every exercise in the workout. It'll also explain how many sets and reps are required from each exercise. []
We'll be focusing on all three areas of your arms today as we hit biceps, triceps and forearms in one punishing session which is split up into three phases, each of which cover an individual muscle. Let's begin with the biceps section.
The workout starts with one of the oldest moves in the book. You'll be performing twelve chin-ups before moving onto EZ-bar bicep curls to failure. Once failure has been reached, switch your grip to a wider stance and then push out a further six lifts. Incline hammer curls is next up on the list, with a further 12 repetitions.
By now your biceps will be starting to burn but the work has only just begun, as we move into two lesser known exercises. First up is the high cable curl, which involves lying on a bench and curling a high pulley down towards your forehead for 12 repetitions. The biceps section is then wrapped up in style with a bout of zottman curls. You'll be performing 10-12 on each arm here, focusing on the flick of the wrist at the top of each move which will bring your forearms into play ahead of the next phase.
Phase 2 lets your biceps rest up as we move down the arm to your forearm. We'll be using time-tested, battle-proven techniques here to sculpt an area of the body which most people neglect to train at all. Try forcing out 20 wrist curls, immediately followed by the same number of reps with a reverse grip. This is then backed up with 30 handshake curls and nicely finished by a timed hang to failure.
Each exercise in the triceps phase is sandwiched by a set of dips to failure. Dips are a proven, time-tested bodybuilding favorite which have remained popular in the fitness industry throughout the years. Begin with close-grip bench press for twelve repetitions before the first bout of dips. Then, swiftly move into triceps skull crushers for twelve more repetitions before another bout of dips. The final move is a rope push down.
Most of the exercises in this plan will seem familiar to anybody who exercises regularly, with the possible exception of handshake curls. What may shock you, however, is the circuit style nature of the plan itself. This isn't performed in straight sets, it's performed as a circuit. Each phase is done 4 times over.
Sly wraps up this session by pushing out a set of close-grip push-ups to failure and then holding the plank position for ninety seconds.
If you want to try the Sylvester Stallone Expendables workout be sure to prepare yourself for a tough session. The minimal rest stipulation tends to catch many gym users off guard so be sure to warm up fully before trying something as intense as this workout.
