- A1 Rear-Delt Flye
- A2 Face-Away Biceps Curl
- A3 Triceps Kickback
Do 2-4 sets, 8-16 reps per exercise, resting 1-2 minutes before repeating the sequence.
You can certainly perform these exercises in any order you'd like. But since both the rear-delt flye and triceps kickback involve holding yourself in the bent-over position, it's best to put the curl between the two to get a break from holding the position for so long.
