Nordic Curls...this is a throwback to when I was able to fully do them :) I shot this video back in 2001 for my first book "The Best Exercises You've Never Heard Of" which is why the resolution is so bad. Unfortunately, I didn't keep up with them and now I can do pretty much only controlled negatives. I'm sure I could work back up to full reps, though, if I wanted to focus on them. Might have to look into getting a Nordic Hyper bench from Freak Athlete - that thing looks awesome. A few years bef

This is a great method for doing flyes. I find having much of the plate weight hanging below the level of the chest to be very effective for increasing stretch on the pecs without undue stress on the shoulder joints. A similar effect can be achieved with kettlebells, but if you don't have those and you DO have plates with handles built in, give this a try. | Nick Nilsson - The Mad Scientist of Muscle

One-Arm Barbell Curls... literally just what the title says. Curl a barbell with one arm! This one is more challenging than curling a 45 lb dumbbell because of the balance involved, so you'll need to be strong enough to curl more than a 45 lb dumbbell (or you'll need to use a smaller bar). It might take a bit of shifting to get the balance point right. This one is a nice change of pace to spice up your bicep training, though. #madscientistofmuscle #barbellcurl #onearmbarbellcurl #biceps #biceptr
