Summary
Jeff Cavaliere of ATHLEAN-X demonstrates that building bigger arms without weights is possible using only four bodyweight exercises and a single pullup bar. The workout targets both triceps and biceps using a “kill switch” style format, making it accessible for home training with minimal equipment.
Key Points
- No weights are required to build bigger arms — the claim that bodyweight training can’t produce arm size is described as a myth
- The workout uses only four total exercises — two for triceps and two for biceps
- The only piece of equipment needed is one pullup bar
- Exercises are performed in a “kill switch” style format
- This workout is presented as part of a broader Bodyweight Wednesday series
- For those without any equipment at all, a complete six-week program (ATHLEAN-0) is mentioned that requires no bars, bands, or bench
