Today’s exercise of the day, is the reverse bench press exercise. This exercise focuses on triceps, chest, and biceps. Check out our very first HD video demonstration below! Instructions will be added soon!

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.

Heres a great back exercise, if you’re looking to mix up your workout. I like to do it in place of the lateral pull downs now again. Read after the video for details on how to perform this exercise.

The key points for this exercise are:

1. Start with a low weight until you have mastered the proper form!
2. Attach the “V-Bar” to the pull down machine
3. Grabbing the V-bar with both hands, pull it to your upper chest, don’t be afraid to lean back during the motion, but not too much as it will work your lower back.
4. Let the V-Bar raise back up slowly.

Here is one of my all time favorite biceps exercises. It’s difficult if you’re doing it correctly, and most people don’t know about it.

The key points of this exercise are

1. Standing straight
2. Keeping your elbows in a non-moving constant position
3. Pausing at a 90 degree angle (as well as at the top and bottom)
4. Lowering the weights in at slower pace than raising them
5. Don’t let the weights come all the way down (i.e. the weights should never be hanging, you should be lifting them the entire time)

This will help exercise the area under your bicep, from your inner elbow (that 1-2 inch space thats smaller than the rest of your arm), in addition to your bicep itself.

I decided an “exercise of the day” would be a fun addition to our blog, so without further ado:

Today’s exercise is the Incline dumbbell curl.

This is currently my favorite bicep exercise, and its hard as hell. I like to do it first or second on my arms day, so I can give it as much energy as possible. I’ll usually do a a reverse cables triceps exercise immediately following. Instruction after the break.
