Build Mind Bogging Biceps!

First, I'm going to tell
you what the trick is, then I'm going to tell you exactly how and why it works.
Then I'm going to finish by telling you how to make the trick so powerful it'll
blow your mind!

In a nutshell, instead of
gripping the handle in the middle (as is normally taught), grip the handle with
the thumb and forefinger side of your hand pressed up against the inside of
the dumbell plates. There will be a space of several inches between your pinky
and the other side plates.

To take full advantage of
this change in your grip, start the curl with your palms facing in to your thighs,
otherwise known as a neutral or hammer grip. As you curl up, rotate your forearm
so that your palm is facing up at the top of the movement. You should feel a
strong cramping in your biceps.

Here's how and why it
works:

Exercise Does Not Make You Superman

Hey, even Superman has a problem with kryptomite.

I have been exercising forever, well it seems that way sometimes. I'm a pretty healthy guy so getting me to go to a doctor is not an easy thing - ask my wife.

So a few years ago I had to go for a knee injury. Having run a marathon a year before, nothing else concerned me but the doctor said I needed blood tests and a physical.

Well we were both surprised that my blood pressure and cholorestorel were both very high. It runs in my family and it seems even exercise alone doesn't make it go away. It helps but doesn't necessarily eliminate it.

My point is this. Even if you exercise regularly and eat health (OK - I don't particularly eat healthy) you need to get a yearly physical along with blood tests. Feeling healthy can hide some underlying problems.

You're not Superman or Supergirl. Remember that. You exercise to stay healthy so don't let something that can be controlled bring you down.

Exercise To Raise Your Body Temperature

If you don't exercise yet, GET A MOVE ON IT! and start now.

The best time to exercise is in the morning, as this will promote a quick temperature rise. However, avoid exercise 3 hours prior to going to sleep, as your body temperature will probably still be on the rise, and you may find falling asleep or sleeping deeply more difficult.

If you don't exercise, I'm not suggesting you get up off your butt right now, get a membership at your local gym and begin a full scale work out program. You can do that only if you really want to but I actually don't recommend it. Not to mention you very definitely should get a good physical first from your doctor.

Actually recent study shows that just moderate exercise during the day has many health benefits. If you can't motivate yourself to start exercising regularly, you could find a less intensive physical activity that you still enjoy, like walking briskly, biking, rollerblading, these will still have a substantial effect at raising your body temperature.

Exercise will raise your body temperature rhythm, and make your body temperature “peak” at a higher level. This will increase your energy levels throughout the day, you'll feel more awake, alive, and motivated.

The Swiss Ball Can be Used by Almost Anyone

Because the Swiss ball is so easy to use and enjoyable, it is able to be used by almost everyone, young or old.

However, because the Swiss ball is designed to create instability (thus forcing the body's own muscles to be employed) there is a need for caution. The elderly, injured, pregnant women or anyone otherwise subject to a lack of stability or increased risk of falling, should not use the Swiss ball without personal instruction and care.

When choosing a Swiss ball it is important to choose the size appropriate to your height as well as the intended use. Determine what technique you plan to use the Swiss ball for before purchasing your own ball.

The swiss ball does make your exercises more challenging but also adds a little fun to your routine.
