Overhead Machine Triceps Extensions/Machine Preacher Curls
Overhead tricep extensions was next on the list, along with machine preacher curls. Bumstead prefers the tricep extensions when training this part of the arm.
This workout keeps tension on the tricep and gives a deep stretch when bringing the weight back down. Bodyweight dips are abs performed following each set to build some extra mass in the triceps.
Next, Bumstead hit biceps with plate-loaded preacher curls. Bumstead focuses on squeezing at the top and holding for a second. He performed his sets with five 25-pound weight plates.

Prone Incline Spider Curls
Incline spider curls is a movement that helps build the muscle by adding to its peak. During this exercise, Bumstead focused on slow negative movements to keep control of the weight. He continues to squeeze at the top before lowering the weight in a controlled way.
“It’s hard to curl dumbbells or anything when your arms have too much blood in them.”
Alternating Dumbbell Curls/Cable Tricep Push Outs
Alternating dumbbell curls were up next and each bodybuilder completed sets to failure. Bumstead and Vaughn performed concentric holds with the arm that they were not working at the time.
After this exercise, Chris Bumstead decided to get some more work in on cables training triceps. This exercise is set up similarly to reverse cable flies but it is used to train triceps.
