A biceps-focused cable and machine superset routine: pull then push with no rest, 75-second recovery, last set to failure.
Pull first, straight into push with no rest. 75 seconds rest after each pair. Last set of each pair to failure. Cable and machine only. No deadlifts.
| # | Pull | Push | Sets × Reps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cable curl (low pulley) | Rope pushdown | 4 × 10-12 |
| 2 | Rope hammer curl | Rope overhead triceps extension | 4 × 12-15 |
| 3 | Lat pulldown | Machine chest press | 4 × 8-10 |
| 4 | Seated cable row | Pec deck | 4 × 10-12 |
| 5 | Straight-arm pulldown | Cable lateral raise | 3 × 12-15 |
| 6 | Cable rear delt fly | Machine shoulder press | 3 × 12-15 |
Cable curl drop set: 3 sets, 15 seconds rest, then 25% of the working weight for max reps.
Pull exercise first, immediately into the push exercise with no rest between them. Then rest 75 seconds before starting the next pair.
Set both stations up before starting each pair so there is zero downtime between the pull and push movements.
Target 45 to 50 minutes total. Take the last set of every pair to failure.
Every movement is cable or machine based — no free-weight barbell rows or deadlifts. This keeps tension constant and lets you move between stations fast.
