Seated Palm-Up Barbell Wrist Curl

Exercise Rating
10/10

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

Exercise Rating
9/10

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. Perform each rep slowly and keep those abs tight. If you can't reach failure in 12 reps, add some weight (dumbbell...+See More

Seated Leg Curl

Exercise Rating
8/10

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.

Barbell Full Squat

Exercise Rating

Feb 4, 2012 10:44 PM: 1. Make sure not to bend your wrist when grabbing the bark.
2. Do not lock your knees out like the guy in the video.
3. Do listen to the narrator when instructs to "maintain a straight posture with the head up" but you don't want to be looking at the ceiling either. ...+See More

Barbell Curl

Exercise Rating
9/10

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

Jan 16, 2012 6:59 PM: if working your abs is important to you then planks are a staple to success. variations are key so straight planks are good but dont forget your sides and do side planks as well. i like to do an extreme ab workout such as jack knives then after rest about 30-45 seconds and hold a plank for 45-60 seconds.......+See More
