TARGET Biceps
MOVE Wall sit with biceps curls. If you skip arm workouts fearing biceps curls will make your arms bulk up, consider this: It's the training scheme of repetitions and sets, not exercises that either build size or firm and shape. Whatever your training scheme, wall lean biceps curls will improve your form taking the emphasis off your back and putting it on the front of your arms.
SETUP Take hold of a weighted straight bar with an underhand grip, stand eight inches away from a wall, lean against the wall with your back making contact from hips to shoulders, keep a micro bend in your knees, brace abs to support torso, draw elbows to your sides.
ACTION Pull bar from thighs to shoulders. Release the curl, then repeat. To build size, perform four sets of six reps of heavy weight load. To firm and shape, perform three sets of 15 reps lifting moderate weights.
