New Excercise I came up with...

[BiggerStronger]

I was thinking about some new excercises that I could do and I think I came up with a good one...and if someone else already thought of this or posted it, sorry in advance.lol.

It works out inner and upper pec, biceps, forearms, and slightly tricep....

It's kinda hard to explain but I'll try my best.

Grab a dumbbell somewhat light....lighter than what you would use on dumbell fly's. Hold the dumbell facing towards the other side of your body. (with one end of it against your hip (hand positioned with about a 20-30 degree angle towards your body) with arm slightly bent holding a slight curl.) Curl the weight up dragging one end of the dumbbell almost against your body (about 2-3" from your body) to the opposite side (almost like you're uppercutting your other shoulder)...pull your shoulder inward as you get to the top of the lift (make sure you really tighten your pecs while pulling your shoulders inwards) while making sure that when finished your arm is only at a 90degree angle. Hold for about 2-3 seconds...Slowly return to the 1st position and repeat.

Let me know if you guys can understand how to do this and if anyone likes it....I can really feel it in my upper and middle chest more so than regular fly's...and I get a get bicep and forearm burn at the same time.

Sounds like a pinwheel curl, only "squeezing with the chest" instead of working the forearms.

[BiggerStronger]

yeah kind of, but you don't feel it in your forearms too much...

Agreed.

BS I've read your post numerous times and I'm sorry....but I can't make out WTF you're talking about

[USMuscle9403]

FH, I had to read it about 41 times myself but I think I've got it now. It's basically a curl towards your body. That's about all I can come up with though, I'm still doing some research.

[Massive G]

Which bodypart are we working here?

[Massive G]

OK OK..I think I've got it....it's a forearm exercise that you don't feel in your forearms right?

[BiggerStronger]

geez, you guys make me sound like such an asshole. (or maybe I do that just fine myself...lol)

Hold a dumbell in your hand and pretend like you're uppercutting your other shoulder. Contract your pec while your hand is coming across from around stomach level up to your opposite shoulder. Your hand should end up about 2-3" in front of your other shoulder. You wont feel it in your forearm really while doing it, it will burn in your bicep and pec.

[USMuscle9403]

That's really interesting that you can work a pulling muscle AND a pushing muscle at the same time with that.

[BiggerStronger]

In the first part of the movement you're pulling the dumbell upwards with the half curl (from half way until you finish the movement it's a static hold on the curl) and then you're pushing upwards towards your other shoulder achieving both.

[homonunculus]

Basically a standing unilateral dumbell fly, done similarly to a low cable cross-over but with a dumbell: hands go from a low position near the hip to a high position near the contralateral shoulder...

Close?...

no offense bro but that sounds like something I would see some of the dumb ass aerobic girls doing at the gym... They do all that weird ass worthless shit. Just press some iron for god fucking sakes,,,,, LOL

[BiggerStronger]

homonucleus is correct...

It's basically the same thing as doing cable fly's, but I feel a better contraction in my inner and upper pec and also bicep. It's just an alternative workout.
