Awesome bicep exercise from SuperAthlete J

As promised, here's one of the fab exercises that I learned from SAJ last week:

Wall Sit with Bicep Curl

1. Grab a couple hand weights. I used two 12 pounders, I think SAJ used two 7s. If you're doing this at home and don't have hand weights, you can use cans of soup or anything you can do a bicep curl with that offers some heft.

2. Get in position. Scoot down the wall with your back flat against it until your legs are bent at a 90ยบ angle. Make sure your feet are directly below your knees. Put your shoulder blades and elbows against the wall and keep them there at all times.

3. Bring the weights (or soup cans, or whatever) down until your arms are straight, then curl them back up to your shoulders. Stay in that chair sit position! Do two sets of 20 reps and you will feel like a total rock star -- plus, you won't know what muscles you worked harder: your biceps or your quads. Awesome!
