This is good stuff, very innovative. Like the man said, if it’s just you and the floor this is great.
The best body weight exercise for the biceps are chins, palms in.
Have to agree there. Between pull-ups and push-ups, you really don’t NEED weights.

Dips are preferable to push-ups in my opinion.
Christmas puddings are preferable to coat racks.
Something somethings are preferable to something somethings…if you catch my driftola.
Driftola is preferable to shinola is preferable to ****. If you know what I’m saying…

If you got the bar.
I find it hard to believe that you can’t find anything to hang from and pull yourself up on to. Be creative.
Find a playground with monkey bars or a climbing frame… but don’t frighten the children away

Yeah, none of that nude training stuff, its frowned upon in playgrounds, go figure these puritans !
[QUOTE=chaiwai;817163]If you got the bar.[/QUOTE]
or monkey bars, or a tree, or pipes in your basement that weren’t meant to hold bodyweight and eventually burst causing a toxic gas leak that kills you
how do you like that:mad:
or go to a sporting goods store and drop 15 bucks on a chinup bar screw it into a door jamb and viola.

thats what ex cons do when they get out. but yeah i’ve done that pullups use to be a big proplem for me now there a smaller proplem but i still can;t do alot gotta stop after ten and rest before i do another set, hopefully in five months i can do a hundred straight.
I find that maybe only 1 in 50
can
[SIZE=“4”][SIZE=“3”]climb up a rope 15’-20’
don’t drop off …climb down[/SIZE][/SIZE]
using the arms only
the more times the better
but this is a little more than isolating the biceps:D

Yes, that is grip work.
as soon as i saw that guy’s neck i knew i had nothing to learn. i’m all about bodyweight exercises, but im not all about wasting my time. that was the dumbest thing ive seen this week, maybe this month.
if you want to work bi’s with body weight do chins and grapple. play tug of war with someone or climb rope. just dont waste your time with that.
… didnt see that rope climbing was already mentioned. good lookin out.
also … biceps dont need direct work. your biceps will get plenty of work from any and all full body pulling motions. excluding an injury or a weird muscle imbalance, the only reason to directly hit bi’s is to get dem pipes. theres nothing wrong with that … i do curlz for teh gurlz at least once a week … but you gotta be careful to keep your goals in mind. i want big arms for the sake of having them and act accordingly.

The idea that you can look at someone and instantly decide they have nothing to teach you is pretty conceted. Ill admit it looks goofy and I doubt if Ill try it…but I`ve also seen that guy do more chins (and in more positions) and more fingertip pushups than any of the Jocks or Marines that train at our school can hope to pull off.
