Bodybuilding.com New Review on Clean and Jerk http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/permalink/detail/id/4281/clean-and-jerk/rebell426 Exercise: Clean and Jerk
Review: To me, this is in a 3 way tie for the best exercise, with Squats and Dead Lifts. Builds great power, blows your heart rate through the roof, and works pretty much everything but your peck's. Surprised traps' aren't on the list of things targeted. I prefer the non-split stance for the third pull, (kinda like a front squat with the bar over your head) but I'm not going to the olympics either, I guess with the split stance you have more control front to back. Remember to breath doing these, actually passed out once from doing these and poor breathing :0

]]> New Review on Dumbbell Shrug http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/permalink/detail/id/4261/dumbbell-shrug/VikingThunder Exercise: Dumbbell Shrug
Review: Perhaps better than the barbell shrug because the dumbbells allow you to hold the weight at your sides, rather than in front of your body. This allows your traps to perform the whole shrugging movement without excessive tension in the shoulders.

]]> New Tip on Seated Palm-Up Barbell Wrist Curl http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/permalink/detail/id/4251/seated-palm-up-barbell-wrist-curl/VikingThunder Exercise: Seated Palm-Up Barbell Wrist Curl
Tip: 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 in your forearms this way.

]]> New Review on Palms-Down Wrist Curl Over A Bench http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/permalink/detail/id/4241/palms-down-wrist-curl-over-a-bench/VikingThunder Exercise: Palms-Down Wrist Curl Over A Bench
Review: This is much harder than palms-up wrist curls, beceause it targets different muscles in the forearms. Also, unlike the palms-up version, you have to use a lot of forearm strength just to grip the bar. Because of this, you'll find you can't use as much weight, but don't be put off - this is a must for developing real forearm size!

]]> New Review on Barbell Full Squat http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/permalink/detail/id/4231/barbell-full-squat/VikingThunder Exercise: Barbell Full Squat
Review: If you aren't squatting below parallel, you aren't squatting. Forget the cowards who say it is bad for your knees; this is the single best exercise for the quads and glutes.

]]> New Review on Power Jerk http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/permalink/detail/id/4221/power-jerk-/VikingThunder Exercise: Power Jerk
Review: Unless you have a brilliant sense of balance and a good level of strength, do not try this exercise. It is only for the hardcore Olympic strength lifters. It requires far stricter form than even the infamous squat, and can easily result in injury if done even slightly incorrectly. That being said, the Power Jerk is a must for any aspiring Olympic lifter, so if you feel you must attempt it, use a very light weight (in fact, an empty bar) for weeks until you have the correct form down.

Review: Since I didn't have a machine I decided to do a few sets of stairs (4 stories- up and down) and then jog into place on a matte for the remaining time. I think i'll hit my bicycle on the next Cardio day- though- I certainly DO feel this!

]]> New Tip on Flat Bench Lying Leg Raise http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/permalink/detail/id/4131/flat-bench-lying-leg-raise/VikingThunder Exercise: Flat Bench Lying Leg Raise
Tip: 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 between your feet) and do 10 reps to failure. Boom! You've got abs.
