Seated Palm-Up Barbell Wrist Curl
Feb 12, 2012 7:13 AM: A must for anyone who wants to build forearm size. For extra burn, let the bar roll down to your finger-tips at the bottom of the motion. This forces you to curl your fingers up on the upwards movement, using the finger flexors in the forearm too. Therefore, you will build greater size and strength...+See More

Flat Bench Lying Leg Raise
Feb 11, 2012 5:38 AM: The single best lower abs exercise. The bench isn't necessary; you can do these just as well on the floor, as long as you don't let your legs rest on the floor at the bottom of the movement.

Seated Leg Curl
Feb 7, 2012 7:01 AM: I workout from home so I have to get creative with some of the exercises. For a seated leg curl I use
"GOLDS GYM POWER STATION".. Attach to the bottom of the door and attach ankle strap to my ankle. I then proceed with a standing one leg hamstring curl.

2. Do not lock your knees out like the guy in the video.

Barbell Curl
Jan 25, 2012 5:52 PM: I get the most out of bb curls while seated and using a straight bar (45lb olympic bar) because all that swinging back and forth that we're often forced to do while standing is eliminated for the most part. Give this a try, even with a cambered curl bar it'll help build your peaks
