Barbell Step Up

The premise here is pretty simple. Using a Barbell that is perched on your shoulders, or using dumbbells that are held down at your side, you step up onto an elevated surface and back down again. Be sure to do the exercise with good form, though! Most people do not keep proper form when doing this movement, especially when they start getting tired.

To get the most out of the Barbell or Dumbbell Step Up, you need to keep good posture the entire time, keeping your head up and your back erect. Step all the way up onto the elevated surface with one foot, then the other, and then step back down with one foot, then the other. Alternate starting with your left foot then your right foot, and remember that the higher your elevated surface is, the more you will get out of the exercise!

As is often the case when exercising, by simply changing the direction of your body during the movement, you can drastically change the outcome of the exercise.

Barbell Reverse Curl

Doing bicep curls using a barbell has been standard exercise fare for decades. However, by reversing your grip on the barbell so your palms are facing down, you will still do a great job of working the biceps while at the same time giving the top of your forearms a great workout as well. One thing of note when making this change is that you will not be able to lift as much weight at first, so don't get discouraged. It is perfectly natural considering that your forearms are not used to being used in this manner. Once you get them trained up, however, they'll be plenty strong enough, and will add to the "full" look of well-sculpted arms.
