Rotating Dumbbell Bicep Curls

Rotating Dumbbell Bicep Curls	This is a classic bicep workout. Time proven and very effective, this exercise is a great addition to an arms workout.
Description	Start standing up, holding the dumbbells at your side with your palms facing your body. Bend your elbows and simultaneous raise both weights while rotating your hands outward. By the time you reach the top your palms should be facing behind you rather than towards your body. Lower the weight back to its original position.
Things to Keep in Mind	Keep your back straight. If you find that your body position is changing in order to lift, try a lower weight. Control the weight on the way up as well as on the way down. This exercise strengthens your wrists as they stabilize the dumbbells. Control is part of this.

Hang Snatch	This exercise is basically just the second half of an Olympic clean. (Clean, then bring the weight above you head.) In this exercise, you start with the bar at waste level, then bend your knees and jerk the bar up above you head to the final position in one quick motion.
Description	Start with a wide prone grip and with the bar at waist level. While arching your back and keeping your shoulders over the bar, bend at your hips and knees. While jumping, shrug your shoulders and powerfully pull the bar upward. Bend down into a squat and get under the bar as you turn your wrists over and catch it above your head with locked arms. Now complete the exercise by standing up from the squat position.
Things to Keep in Mind	Always keep your back straight and use your legs and arms rather than your back to lift.
