• Pushdowns with Rope Attachment  /  3 sets   /  12 reps
• Dips  /  3 sets  /   12 reps
• Close-Grip Bench Presses  /  3 sets  /   6-8 reps
• Lying Triceps Extensions  /   7 sets  /   6-8 reps

And here are the exercises, along with the sets and reps, that Phil Heath says he does for his biceps in the off season, which are done after his back exercises.

• Standing EZ-Bar Curls  /  3 sets  /  6-8 reps
• Hammer Curls  /  3 sets  /  6-8 reps
• Concentration Curls  /  3 sets  /  6-8 reps

• Dips  /  3 sets  /  12 reps
• Close-Grip Bench Presses  /  3 sets   /  10-12 reps
