Interview With Endurance And Fitness Athlete, Brett Richard Palframan Biceps:

What are your 3 best go to biceps exercises?

  • Barbell curls
  • Preacher
  • Concentration curls

Which is the most overrated biceps exercise in your opinion?

Layed back bicep curls, when done whilst resting on the bench.

And the most underrated one?

Standing bicep curls, if done correctly, you can get an added core workout as well.

What are your top 3 tips when training your biceps?

Use your arm like a lever, feel the muscle you are working, compress the bicep as you curl and pull the tricep as you release.

In your opinion, which is the most common biceps exercise that people do incorrectly? And how can they fix it?

Standing curls, they tend to ‘throw’ the weight, rather than curl it.

What are some common mistakes people make when training their biceps?

Focus on the muscle group being worked and CONTROL your movement, keep your elbows steady.

Triceps:

What are your 3 best go to triceps exercises?

  • Cable pull downs
  • Skull crushers
  • Barbell extensions

Which is the most overrated triceps exercise in your opinion?

I don’t feel that there is one, the tricep group is complex, and I feel that all angles and exercises do justice.

What are some common mistakes people make when training triceps?

Lifting to heavy and not controlling the muscle movement.

What are your top 3 tips when training your triceps?

Same as bicep, focus on the muscle group being worked and CONTROL your movement, keep your elbows steady.

What does a typical arm workout look like for you?

I like using a lighter weight and faster reps, HIIT. A break of 6-8seconds per set.

ABS:

How often do you train your abs?

4 times a week.

How many exercises/sets/reps do you recommend when targeting just abs?

I like to focus on different core groups when I train, so one session will be lower abs, the next side as, and so forth. I would recommend 8-10 sets of 15-20 reps.

Do you recommend adding weight when training abs?

I do, yes, but minimal weight, just to assist in movement and tensing the correct group. If you’re struggling to balance, then lower the weight.

What does a typical ab workout look like for you?

I like to finish each (second) session with abs, I use them to cool down.
