The King of Classic Physique and Valliere started their workout with the basic easy bar bicep curls but with heavy weights. The Pro Creator took up his usual role of fixing their forms and pushing them to the verge of failure. After the curls, they moved to the exercise that Pro Creator is known for, one that just a few days ago, he had made Joseph Baena do.
They did a few sets of the reversed incline bench barbell curls. The Pro Creator followed the partial reps approach, increasing the time under tension. While doing a set of this exercise, the five-time Mr. Olympia gave a valuable tip on choosing what muscle to train after an event. He said, “Little post-event day arm day is the best; never hit legs after an event; it’s always arms.”
They further moved to a few sets of preacher bicep curls, and the Pro Creator fixed Valliere’s grip while doing the reps. Then the trio did a few sets of triceps exercises, starting with triceps pushdowns, then engaging in reverse grip triceps pushdowns. For the culmination of the workout, Rambod made the duo hit a few sets on the tricep pushdown machine.

Rambod made the three fitness enthusiasts do a five-second pause on top and even made them do partial reps. The pause increased the time under tension, giving them better results. The trio also did seated skull crushers with an easy bar and wrapped up their workout with a close-grip bench press. Among the fitness influencers, Shizzy lifted the most.
