Home workout: reverse curls exercise for a great pump
http://scoobysworkshop.com
Reverse curls are great to finish off your arm workout because they give you a great pump - brushing your teeth is tough after doing these!
This exercise is done with the palms facing down instead of facing up like in a standard barbell curl, This exercise is much more difficult to do than a barbell curl so dont use a lot of weight, start with about 35% of what you can do with the palms up.
These can be done using the preacher bench as shown here or from a standing position. I suggest doing these at the end of your arm workout when your biceps are good and weak, that way, even though the bicep is stronger than the forearm they are both worked out evenly.
The muscle size increase in a pump is short lived, typically much less than an hour. A pump is not a sign of permanent growth, rather an indication that you have worked out hard and that bloodflow has increased to the muscle.
Forearm exercises are tough on the elbows and we don’t want you getting tendonitis so only use the amount of weight that lets you use slow, controlled form. If you have any pains in your elbow region, see your doctor before doing these!
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

You can stop asking now.
I dont believe in any of those expensive electrolyte replacement beverages unless you are into extreme sports (triathlons, marathons, etc). Plain water is what I prefer.

Great physique! You have a better body than I did after 3 years of working out.
Define natural. It means different things to different people. The one thing I use is dairy whey but its because I’m a 90% vegetarian.
I’m totally against all supplements, check out my website under Nutrition>Supplements to see why
scooby do you take any supplements like protein shakes or do you just rely on the protein in your diet?

scooby your videos helped me alot…check out my video to see the results I got from your help
hey scooby your videos are awsome!
amazing shape btw!
they are really helping me in my daily workouts
Hey Scooby,
I remember seeing one of your videos on how to workout biceps, specifically a technique to make them wider to the sides. Can you point me to the right direction on to which video it is?
Not sure what you are referring to but in general when people post comments that have nothing to do with my videos but only serve as an advertisement for something else, I mark them as SPAM.
why is this marked spam???
JK13031987 got it right, there is now way to make bones grow. Why do you want a bigger wrist anyway, small wrists are an advantage because it makes your forearm and biceps look bigger
There are no muscles on the outside of the wrist that you can workout to make the wrist bigger, that goes for the elbow and knee also.
