Firstly, I’d like to apologize for our recent lack of updates. Jimbo and I just graduated, and have had to get a lot of stuff in order. We’ve also been hard at work preparing a sub-blog you’ll hear more about soon.

Anyway, today’s video exercise of the day, is the reverse barbell curl. This is a great exercise to mix up your bicep workout. It really focuses on the side of your arm (your bicep being the top, and triceps being the bottom) and hits muscle fibers which most other bicep exercises do not.

Instructions:

1. Grab a curved barbell with pre-attached weights (as in our video) or throw some free weights on a stand alone one.
2. Try to find a comfortable grip on the bar, keeping in mind your arms should be parallel.
3. Pivoting only at your elbows, move the barbell to your chest, pausing at the top.
4. Bring the weight back down slowly.
5. Pause and repeat.
