Six Pack Abs…Do You Really Want Them?

Any one who enters the weight lifting and body building world has a set of six pack abs on their mind.  In order to attain this lofty goal it is necessary to establish a training cycle and stick to it.

Just about anyone who is involved in health and
fitness has a goal of “looking good”. For most of us simply being is
shape is not good enough unless we can demonstrate that to others. Some
want shoulders as wide as the Pacific Ocean. Another group is looking
for biceps that will rip your t-shirt sleeves when flexed. And just
about all of us are seeking a wasp-thin waist coupled to “Oh my Gawd
look at those” muscles that are characterized with that six-pack look.

Want Big Biceps? Success Is In Your Hands

An often overlooked aspect of arm training is hand positioning. Yet proper hand position is critical when attempting to build big biceps. There are 3 positions in which you can place your hands during your arm training workouts: the supinated position; the neutral position; or the pronated position.

The supinated position occurs with your hands facing upward and is essential for biceps training success. Your hands are in a neutral position when your palms are turned inward when your arms rest naturally at your sides. Pronation refers to a palms-downward position and primarily involves the pronator muscles of the forearm during reverse-grip curls or other arm contraction exercises. To maximize efficiency and get desired results from your biceps training, you must avoid placing your hands in the wrong position when targeting these muscles.
