The chest is a "pushing" muscle best trained on "push day" right? Sort of. Sure, the act of bench pressing requires the pushing of the arm away from the body to get the bar off the chest. (SIDE NOTE: the bench isn't even arguably the best way to hit your chest because of the limit on adduction.) Regardless, look a little closer at the fibers of the chest (and as outlined in green here courtesy of the "muscle markers" - my upper chest) and you'll see they are in prime position to PULL!! Here's a little curl variation that shows just how well that chest and biceps of yours could work together if you let them. First curl the weight as you normally would. As it gets just past ninety degrees, lift that shoulder (another element of complete biceps contraction!) and drive it up and ACROSS your chest to "follow the fibers" of the upper chest. Do it right and it will feel like something you've been missing your entire lifting life! The peanut butter to your jelly. The moment the chest became both a pusher and a puller! Now go try it out and let me know how it feels.

Want to try something new for your biceps?  Give these “Elevator Curls” a shot at giving those arms a much needed “lift”! Keep the palms face up the whole time (as if you’re lifting two plates) and make sure to get the hands past your shoulders at the top.  This will ensure a complete biceps contraction since shoulder flexion is the often overlooked function of this muscle that gets addressed nicely here.  When you’re done watching this, be sure to CLICK THE PROFILE LINK to see 7 more arm exercises (4 triceps and 3 more biceps) that you’ve likely never done before that could be just what your arms have been needing to give them a jolt and all new gains!  #gains #arms #armexercises #biceps #triceps #neverbefore #exercises #teamathlean #athleanx #jeffcavaliere #gym #fitness #different #work #workout #strengthandconditioning #strength #plateau #overcome

@Regranned from @athleanx - Want a little extra challenge for your dips? Try these corkscrew dips for a core ripping change of pace! No trademark muscle markers required here to see the impact this slight twist (literally) can have on the obliques and abs while still hammering the chest and delts as expected! Make sure you're twisting to both sides of course to prevent left/right imbalance and once again, the epic music soundtrack gives you some nice hard beats to twist to! #dips #donteatdipsdothem #chest #obliques #abs #shredded #nomusclemarkersneeded #trythis #jeffcavaliere #teamathlean #athleanx #gym #fitness #fitfam #sportsperformance #functionalstrengthtraining #gymlife #athleticeatery #toronto #the6ix #trynewshit #twist #upperbodystrength #bodybuilding #coretraining #fitpeeps #delts #triceps #trapezius
