Both, biceps and triceps are very resilient muscle groups. They recover very quickly and can handle a lot of volume and high intensity training techniques. To get the most out of your arm workouts, you've got to hit them hard, and with a variety of different techniques. Certified personal trainer and founder of TRyMFitness, Tim McComsey lays out a 30-minute arm workout loaded with supersets and dropsets to bring up those bicep peaks and stack on the size.
