Biceps Elasticity Exercises ... Developing the Arm's Anterior Compartment!
Awesome Biceps will turn heads everywhere you go, and they are the first half of achieving proper fitness training conditioning for the arm. The Triceps are the other half. We'll be focusing on these two areas in this section. While many exercises benefit the surrounding muscles groups simultaneously, the brachii is our primary focus.
The exercises are broken down into three sections or types, each with a different focus: Resistance, Elasticity and Aerobics. Visit each link on the TEAM U site to view all three areas of focus. Try each in their simplistic form, and then increase difficulty as you improve your form and technique. Remember ... HAVE FUN!
Elasticity Exercises:
Simple, but effective routine!
Select a pair of lighter weight dumbbells to start with. Increase the weight as your strength increases. However, heavy lifting is not the intent here. Standing straight, feet shoulder width apart. Begin with elbows bent, hands up with the weights at shoulder height. With your palms facing you, slowly lower the dumbbells until your arms are straight down. Bring them up at a moderate speed to the starting position, and do the routine again. The emphasis is on the slow lowering and muscle stretching. The focus is NOT on the upward movement.
For this exercise ... it is extremely important to go SLOW and FEEL the stretch!
