Elbow Curl

[Sjones675]

This is THE best bicep exercise I have ever done! It's super effective for me. Thank you so much!

[religionwhore]

fantastic and innovative technique, will use this for sure!

[juiceweaselism]

That's so awesome man, thanks! I never was really fond of using weights, because I wanted to do exercises anytime, anywhere. It's helping me a lot!

How much of your body weight are you lifting when doing these elbow curls?

[boombruv]

hey im 14 and not particularly stong how many of these do you recommend i should do to tone and gain some biceps

[publicworks1]

You have a very clever approach to training specific muscles. I am going to do the hip flexor stuff as you suggested. I do exercises of this sort for toning and general benefit. I do my explosive weight training for the bulk of my workouts. I have a few weaknesses I need to address, such as my calfs which get tight from running and this poses a problem for me so I will need to augment this with something. I also swim. thank you for your videos

@publicworks1

They are pretty effective. Try them.

[digitalaudiochild]

nice thanks very well done!

[Celciusss]

Thank you for your comment.

How affective are these things for biceps alone (obviously tri's are a bonus but you can do them with regular press ups) Im uncomfortable using dumbells I always imagine them dropping on my feet, lol.

[wulkwos]

Man, this is awesome! I'm backpacking in Europe for 6 weeks right now, with no access to any weights at all, and this is exactly what I've been looking for to keep my biceps in shape. Thanks!

[Celciusss]

You go it.

[Weykent]

I see.. very informative.. But would this exercise target my elbow plexus and middle deltoid? He never mentioned..

[Celciusss]

What is "Elbow Plexus'?

[IMunchGlass]

at 0:19 the guy says this exercise will train the middle deltoid and the elbow plexus. i also am curious to hear what an elbow plexus is.

[Celciusss]

Elbow flexors not elbow plexus. Elbow flexors are brachialis, brachioradialis and biceps brachii.

[Lahed92801]

My biceps are killing me now. Thanks man! Been looking for a non-pullup bodyweight exercise for the biceps!

[Celciusss]

Thank you for your comment, we'll pass your props to Paul Zaichik.

[Lahed92801]

Just showed this to our ROTC corps officers. And it made the PT program! Nice one guys. Is this a new exercise?

[Celciusss]

Yes, it's one of the exercises developed by a bodyweight training expert Paul Zaichik. You can look at his Chanel ElasticSteel or his site. Elasticsteel.

Wow, I just tried this. Its not bad. It can really give you a good bicep workout, if its not enough for you, just use your body to add more resistance. Also, It seems to work better if you keep a fist under your knee instead of cupping.

Of course free weights at a gym would be better, but if you dont have time that day or you're in a hotel or something, this is a great alternative.

[Celciusss]

Say word.

[Butterstickx2]

Update, my biceps are sore today. This works.

[Celciusss]

They say "don't judge the book by it's cover", it's good that you didn't.

[GenCollado]

did u get your body like that by doing 100% bodyweight excercises?

[Celciusss]

Paul does a lot of bodyweight exercises.

[ilovemetal5940]

Sorry, but this is kinda rubbish.

[Kortoso]

Awesome: the most important muscle is between the ears. ;)

[lazur1]

Paul is a true innovator. Others sell so-called secrets that have actually been common forever; PZ comes up w/ new stuff that solves real problems. (The closest thing to a truly equipment-free sort-of-bicep-move I knew until now was a 'horizontal pullup': Lie prone/arms extended outward-overhead, palms or hammer-fists on floor/pull-slide body forward. Hard wood floor recomended.)

[nubbs]

cool

[geoffcraft]

i like it! great for when i'm traveling and don't have access to a bar.

[shengchenfan]

ditto.

[DjAnomoly]

great new one i'll have to try!

[wasimkhan321]
