This workout is comprised of some classic back exercises, some back exercises that are the most demanding on your biceps, and some auxiliary bicep exercises.

Directions:

Use a weight that will allow you to complete only the listed number of reps.
Rest 1-3 minutes between each exercise.
Aside from the lone superset, perform all sets of one exercise before moving to the next. Exercises in the superset should be done one after another, but you should still take your standard rest time.
