Ryan Terry hit a quick, 45-minute arm workout while in Korea.

Ryan Terry reached the top of Men’s Physique during the 2023 Olympia. He has been a threat in the division over the years and was able to win his first Olympia last year. Now, he continues to work toward repeating. Recently, Terry shared a workout while traveling to show his viewers how he is able to stay in shape on a busy schedule.

Ryan Terry has been a constant competitor on the Olympia stage, getting as high as a second-place Men’s Physique finish in 2016 before his victory last year. Last year, Terry qualified by winning the New York Pro.

“A lot of people do ask me, at expos or events, how do you do it while traveling? How do you train and food and all that stuff? Today, I’m going to show you how to do it on a taxed schedule in a short amount of time.”

Terry shared a full arm day while in Korea. He hit a public gym and went through a workout that lasted about 45 minutes.

Ryan Terry Arm Workout

Ryan Terry was in Korea when he hit this workout and wanted to answer how he gets work in while traveling. He answered with a quick session:

Giant Set: GHD Crunches, Preacher Curls, Oblique Crunches, Parallel Bar Dips

Terry explained that with this workout, there would be many supersets due to his time constraint. It began with a giant set of four exercises. Terry also broke down his current split during this time of his prep.

“Arms, I’m trying to bring up now so I’ve incorporated a second arm day. My split looks like this: Back and biceps on Monday, chest and triceps on Tuesday, legs on Wednesday, shoulders and calves on Thursday, Friday back on its own. Arms, biceps and triceps, on Saturday. Sunday is more of a rested-active day with core.”

Superset: Weighted Crunches & Oblique Crunches

The final superset of the day was two different types of crunches. Terry spoke on oblique crunches and admitted that this is an exercise that he does not hit much.

“It’s something I don’t advocate all the time. This is something I would do every third or fourth week. Early on in my career, I basically did a lot of crunches to widen my lower oblique. That was the only thing where I could pinpoint how I grew them. Now, the only thing I do on obliques is twisting, wood chops or rotating twists.”
