Tip: Child's Pose

Exercise Rating
10/10

Mar 26, 2012 10:42 AM: This is a yoga position. Breath slowly and deeply, belly out, and belly in. You will have movement in your back and it will stretch very well.

Tip: Incline Dumbbell Curl

Exercise Rating
8/10

Mar 26, 2012 10:39 AM: i've found that instead of alternating arms endlessly, using a "left, right, both, both" pattern seems to work more effectively. usually done in sets of 5 (15 pumps each arm)

Review: Kettlebell Dead Clean

Exercise Rating
2/10

Mar 24, 2012 6:37 PM: This is an excellent exercise. The problem is this guy is using to much bicep to perform it. The clean is performed using the hip and shoulder. When just part way to a standing position one should thrust there hip foreword Hump-the-Bell, and shrug the shoulder of the arm holding the kettlebell hard....+See More

Tip: Pushups (Close and Wide Hand Positions)

Exercise Rating
9/10

Mar 19, 2012 4:45 PM: doing any type of push work out does work your triceps mostly as a secondary muscle, I consider diamond (close grip) a tricep workout but its good to work tri's and chest on the same day for that reason,then move onto a pull excersise (biceps

Tip: Incline Dumbbell Curl

Exercise Rating
10/10

Mar 19, 2012 7:16 AM: With correct form this puts more emphasis on the long head of the bicep, a good variation for this is to angle out your arms to form a "Y" shape to put all the pressure on the long head....just be careful with going heavy though.
