The YPSI Arm Holiday

Anyone who follows the YPSI blog is already familiar with the YPSI squat holiday ...

These are 6 days of squats 3 times a day. Then 3-4 days real vacation made. The body reacts to this short-term overload with disproportionate growth - provided the diet and sleep are right and it is then given enough rest to supercompensate.

As rare as it is to see well-executed squats in a gym, so often is it seen, mostly boys and men, doing bicep curls. The goal for most is big arms. For all those who want to give their arms a proper growth spurt in a short time, here is the logical consequence: arm holidays!

There are a total of four different workouts that are rotated. Two workouts per day are carried out for 6 days. Two different arm workouts are performed on days 1, 3 and 5 than on days 2, 4 and 6.

Below is the training program:
