I’m giving this Shoulders and Bicep Workout a try today.  It’s not a muscle group combo that I necessarily think to train together.  Like you, I usually group muscle groups into primary and secondary like Back and Bicep, Chest and Tricep etc.,

I recently finished a pretty cool book by Joe Manganiello called “Evolution: The Cutting Edge Guide to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body You’ve Always Wanted.”  I’ll write a complete review of the book later, but for now I wanted to give a couple of the workouts a try.  One of the “circuits” described in the book is this shoulders and bicep workout. You can read more about the book and buy from Amazon with the link below.

SET 1 – These two exercises are performed back to back and alternating with a one minute rest in between.  There’s a total of 6 sets with 20, 15, 12, 10, 5, and 8 reps.

SET 2 – This set you’re also alternating between the two exercises with a one minute rest in between. You’ll be doing 12- 15 reps of Plate Front Raise and 10-12 reps of Standing Barbell Curl.  Perform each set 4 times.

The goal of this Shoulders and Bicep workout is to keep you metabolism raised throughout and exhaust you muscle groups from repetition rather than massive amounts of weight.
