Standing Barbell Curl Instructions:

Pick up the barbell off the floor with your palms facing upwards and hands about shoulder width apart. Stand up straight, tense your mid section and lock your elbows at your sides. Keeping your elbows still, curl the barbell up as far as you can go. Lower the barbell back to the starting position.
Tips and Safety Advice:

Don’t swing the weight up - that’s cheating! Move the weight slowly in a controlled movement. Don’t lean back of move your elbows throughout the movement, this takes the pressure off your biceps and you will not get the full effect from the exercise.

The study says men will have significant jumps in testosterone levels from looking at sexually arousing material.

It went on to say that “viewing sexually arousing material, without ejaculating, before working out should be beneficial for improving workouts.”

Bad news though – it also says “ejaculating before working out, would probably not be ideal, since ejaculation also releases endorphin natural hormones in the body. This would in turn affect your strength and energy before your workout.”

So the lesson here – is to check out shemuscle before you workout to help gains.

Conventional running is my sanity,” Gov. Palin says. Having recently given birth to her fifth child, the governor is trying to get back to her old workout routine. She was running 7 to 10 miles almost every day but switched to aerobics classes at her gym when she became pregnant. She has worked her way back up to running three miles every other day.

In the summer, when it’s always light, she’ll sometimes run as late as midnight. In the dead of winter, when it’s dark, she sneaks in an afternoon run, or else grudgingly runs on the treadmill at home or at the gym in the evening. Gov. Palin keeps dumbbells at home, but she says most of her upper body strength comes from snowmobiling with her family. “It’s the best upper body workout you could ever have,” she says. “You’re maneuvering through hundreds of pounds of powder.”

Interestingly enough, I can’t think of any male pros that are “Dr’s”. What’s my point? None really, I just find it an interesting tidbit.

- There are plenty of bodyweight exercises you can do in your hotel room with no equipment needed; pushups, squats, lunges, crunches and dips all make for effective exercises.

- Blend your vacation with fun but active things; biking, hiking, a pedal boat excursion, water-skiing, beach volleyball etc.

- Have a vacation fling, we went over the calorie burning effects of sex here.

Lat Pulldown Machine

Fit Melissa

New photo gallery

Technique: (click to enlarge image)

1. Attach a long bar to the lat pulldown machine, and adjust the thigh pads so that when you are sitting your knees are at right angles and feet flat on the ground.
2. Grasp the bar using a wide grip and sit down maintaining the upper body in an upright position, slightly leaning back from the hips.
3. Pull the bar in front of your face to the top of your chest and pause.
4. Slowly release the bar back to the starting position by straightening your arms.

Key points to remember:

Avoid jerky movements.
Keep shoulders down to stabilize the scapula and isolate the lats.

Married to Will Smith, the petite actress only weighs about 100lbs and was being reported as benching 170 - 200lbs which got more confusing when in a 2003 interview she said she benched 9 plates a side, which would be close to 900lbs.

Her best achievement as a professional was winning the lightweight class at the 2003 Arnold Classic.

In 2005 she transitioned to figure competitions where her placings were considerably lower than when she competed as a bodybuilder.

To the relief of many of her fans including myself, in late 2006, she switched back to bodybuilding and went on to win the 2008 New York Pro.
