Summary: Arms of Steel workout
Comment: Very helpful during my recovery from rotator cuff surgery. All the exercises in the video were already recommended by my surgeon. Doing them to the video was better than physical thereapy. This workout is good for all, not just men. Precise and effective in a manageable amount of time.

Summary: Great upper body workout for ladies too!
Comment: Gilad leads this 40 minute upper body workout, it is thorough and hits everything, including chest and back which are often neglected in arm workouts, plus forearms and rotator cuff. He is instructing one on one in a comfy workout room, he has his weight rack beside him and he is set to go.
He starts you out with a simple warmup, then you move right into the workout. He starts with some chest presses and does not use any weight for the first set, then he grabs some light weights and you do another set, then you will do a set of chest crossovers adding a side step and cross with the opposite arm.
Next you will work the shoulders, starting with front raises rotating the palms upward, then you will do a set of side lateral raises before combining the two for another set. Then you will get some lighter weights and do some rotator cuff work, then you finish out the shoulders with some rear delt lifts.
Triceps are next, you will start with double arm kickbacks before moving into one arm kickbacks for each side. Then you will do a set of tricep dips in a 2-2 count. Then you grab a medium weight (he uses a 10 lb) and do a set of french presses. A second set of tricep dips follows, this time you will do them in single count. Then you will grab a slightly heavier weight (ex 12 lb) and do another set of french presses. One more set of tricep dips follow, this time you will do 3 counts down, 1 count up. Finally you will finish your tricep work with a third set of french presses, this time using your heaviest weight.
Now it's time for biceps and forearm work. Gilad grabs a pair of 10 pounders from his weight rack and you will do a set of traditional curls where you twist up at the top, there are some tempo variation here (2-2 count, 3-1 count, single time). Then you will do a set of cross curls working the forearms before doing another set of biceps using a little heavier weight, after that you will do more forearm curls one arm at a time. Then you will do a set of classic 24's, 8 reps where you lift halfway up, 8 reps where you start at the top and lower halfway down, and 8 reps using full range of motion, he uses 10 lbs for these. Then to finish out the bicep work you grab a heavy weight and do one arm concentration curls, again with some tempo variation. Following this he will do some more forearm work and some wrist curls.
Next you will do a short back session, one arm rows for each side, again some different counts. Then you will grab some light weights and do some combination exercises for all the muscle groups you just worked. Here you will see 2 combinations, the first being a combination of cross arms and side & front delt raises, and the other a combination of bicep curls and overhead tricep extensions, then you combine both sets to finish out.
Finally you will do three sets of pushups, each set each about 10 reps. The first set you will start with your hands wide, each set your hands are set more narrow to make it tougher. Then it's time to cool down and stretch.
I like Gilad, and I think he does a good job here. I really like that he tells you what size weight he uses for each exercises, it helps me give me a gauge on what I should be using. He does sneak a few extra reps in which might annoy some people, especially if they think there is only one rep and he adds on two more. But he is a friendly instructor but to the point, plus he lets you know that he is working hard too. He even strains on the last rep of the last set of french presses, which I always get a kick out of. The workout does move at a quick pace, there is a good amount of reps and tempo variations for most of the exercises, I find I have to use slightly lighter weights due to the number of reps and speed of the workout.
All in all this is an excellent routine for all people, not just men. Ladies can get arms of steel with this video too.

Summary: Men of Steel - Arms of Steel
Comment: My wife gave me this video, along with weights at my request as a birthday present 9 years ago and I'm still using them today. The video is easy to follow from the beginning and is perfect for someone just starting out. As you progress in fitness levels, you decide the amount of weight to use for each exercise. The results are worth the 45 minutes spent three times a week. You feel more confident and the results are noticeable. There is no other video workout for men like this on the market that I have found. I highly recommend it to any man wanting to strengthen his upper body without investing a fortune.

Summary: Great for men and women
Comment: This is one of those workouts in the " ...of Steel" series, but this one is directed to men, unlike most of them. The instructor, Gilad, has a pleasant accent and really knows his stuff. In about 45 minutes he takes you through a good warmup, the gamut of upper-body exercises, and a surprisingly long stretch. All the exercises are concise and are super-set (you don't rest between them except to exchange weights). Between the bicepts, tricepts, forearms, chest, shoulders, and back, this workout will build all facets of your arms. Best of all, you can suit the weights you use to your fitness level. This video is motivating and rewarding and, while I would not want to do it daily, it is a good break for me to do once a week or so (I am a woman).
