@WackyZacky1000 I don't think it's complicated at all. I'm lying in bed and managed to do one whilst half asleep. The advantage of this sort of thing is that it requires no equipment so can be done anywhere or by those of us who are genuinely in such a poor financial state that a pull up bar is prohibitively expensive.

Genius. It might not be as classic as pull ups or push ups, but the only other way I could imagine working biceps without using weights would be doing upside down bicep curls where the bar is stationary and you're lifting your bodyweight. o.O

is there a way to exercise lats on the floor like this?

@WackyZacky1000 Honestly, it's not that complicated... maybe you say that because of what he said of "focus on the bicep and not the abdomen", which I don't agree. You just have to put EXACTLY in that position and lift yourself up like a side-sit up. What you will get is a composed exercise, you work abdominal muscles AND biceps (try it, you will work biceps even if you try to use your abdomen). IMO this is better, you work more muscles in one exercise, just like push ups (triceps, chest, etc)

Ingenious! Thank you :)

thank you

No offense, but this is just to complicated. If you want nice biceps, get a pull up bar, a barbell or curl bar, and some dumbells. Do pull ups for biceps, barbell rows, dumbell rows, hammer curls, and seated curls. Resting five minutes after each excercise.

I've never seen this before. It is a great body weight exercise, thank you!

Kudos to you! As I'm getting up there in years (51), I recently decided to switch to bodyweight training to save my joints and focus on functional strength. I have a pullup bar, but I've been searching for a true no-equipment biceps exercise. I was skeptical at first, but this exercise works for me. Thanks!
Another approach would be to try the old Charles Atlas "Dynamic Tension" method, whereby you would use one arm to provide resisrance to the other. Not as effective, but better than nothing.

innovative . . .yes, but less effective than the chin up
wouldnt this cause long term damage to the elbow?

That is anatomically correct.
