Larry Scott’s Arm Workout Routine

Larry Scott – Mr Olympia 1965-1966

Larry Scott’s Arm Workout Routine

Larry Scott was the first Mr. Olympia and his claim to fame was the most mind blowing set of biceps and triceps the bodybuilding world had ever seen up until the time Scott appeared on the scene. Larry Scott’s favorite arm workout routine apparatus was the preacher curl bench, which also bears his name (the Scott curl bench).

Larry believed that triceps grow the best with supersets and biceps grow the best with tri-sets (and who’s gonna argue with him?) His favorite bicep routine was a tri-set performed on the preacher bench and a superset combo for triceps. Larry also frequently employed “burns”, which were quick quarter reps (partials) performed after each set.

• Dumbbell preacher curl, loose form 3-4 sets X 6 reps + 4-5 burns
• Straight Bar preacher curl, strict form 3-4 sets X 6 reps + 4-5 burns
• EZ bar reverse curl, loose form 3-4 sets X 6 reps + 4-5 burns

 

• Close Grip Bench Press with EZ Bar 4-5 sets X 6 reps + 4-5 burns
• Kneeling twin pedestal tricep rope extension* 4-5 sets X 6 reps + 4-5 burns

The twin pedestal bench is a special bench for the kneeling rope tricep extension. It is simply two pads for the elbows with a space for your head in between. It was originally built by Vince Gironda and Scott later began manufacturing his own version. If you don’t have the apparatus for this exercise, you can simply do a rope extension facing away from the weight stack from a high pulley in a lunge position.
