Training

Heavy And Intense Workouts

Biceps

Long loves to workout with intensity, using heavy weights and aiming to build as much lean muscle mass as possible. One of his favorite exercises for the arms, is the dumbbell bicep curl.

He completes this movement with fast and controlled reps, working to failure every set. He usually moves on to the EZ Bar Barbell curl after these sets, which offers him a more stable lift.

Triceps

When it comes to hitting his triceps, Long enjoys using free weights as well as machines. He completes a tricep pulldown with cables, intending to maximize the time under tension.

He also uses dumbbells and the barbell to complete extensions and tricep kickbacks.
