Home workout: reverse curls exercise for a great pump

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com
Reverse curls are great to finish off your arm workout because they give you a great pump - brushing your teeth is tough after doing these!

This exercise is done with the palms facing down instead of facing up like in a standard barbell curl, This exercise is much more difficult to do than a barbell curl so dont use a lot of weight, start with about 35% of what you can do with the palms up.

These can be done using the preacher bench as shown here or from a standing position. I suggest doing these at the end of your arm workout when your biceps are good and weak, that way, even though the bicep is stronger than the forearm they are both worked out evenly.

The muscle size increase in a pump is short lived, typically much less than an hour. A pump is not a sign of permanent growth, rather an indication that you have worked out hard and that bloodflow has increased to the muscle.

Forearm exercises are tough on the elbows and we don't want you getting tendonitis so only use the amount of weight that lets you use slow, controlled form. If you have any pains in your elbow region, see your doctor before doing these!

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

hello im the same person i was wondering what are your ideas with power-aid and other sports drink are they good to drink or is that a no,no?

[scooby1961]

I dont believe in any of those expensive electrolyte replacement beverages unless you are into extreme sports (triathlons, marathons, etc). Plain water is what I prefer.

[McLight999]

are you a natural bodybuilder??

[scooby1961]

Define natural. It means different things to different people. The one thing I use is dairy whey but its because I'm a 90% vegetarian.
