This one works best when using a cable column that has both a high and low setup. Place an EZ-bar attachment on the low cable and attach rope handles to the high cable.
- A1 Rope Face Pull
- A2 Rope Triceps Pressdown
- A3 EZ-Bar Biceps Curl
Do 2-4 sets, 8-16 reps per exercise, resting 1-2 minutes before repeating the sequence.
Instead of doing EZ-bar curls, you can attach a single handle to the low cable and perform either face-away biceps curls or single-arm cable curls.

Planned Brutality

Tip: Hammer-Grip Kettlebell Drop Set
For this mechanical drop set, you'll start with the hardest exercise and, as you fatigue, move to the easiest. Works with a bar and a supinated grip too.
