“A guillotine press is simply a bench press where you take a wider-than-shoulder-width grip and lower the bar to your neck. And, if you look briefly at the anatomy involved, you can see that it stimulates the chest muscles better than practically any chest movement.


When you lower the bar to your neck with your elbows flared, it stimulates the pectoral fibers along their lines of axis. You get supreme activation of all the fibers in the upper, middle, and lower portions of the chest muscles. Furthermore, you get less involvement/activation of the anterior delts, which are normally way too involved in the bench press”. - T Nation


KB Hammer Curls - 4x8 - 35lbs*

Shield Pull Ups - 4x8

*Superset


* Shield pull up is a special variation of the pull up where you pull your elbows in.  Shield pull up isn't the same as the close-grip chin up. In the shield pull up your arms travel in the front of your body, whereas in the close-grip chin up your arms go to the sides past the body. Keeping your elbows together will fry your chest muscles which isn't  common with pull ups or any pulling exercise.


Your chest muscles like the pectoralis major will get stronger and bigger, but the best benefits will happen to your arms. Your arms stay in a nice line during the repetition, which means you will hit more the brachialis muscle of the arms. Brachialis is the muscle on the side of the arm beneath the biceps. Your biceps are also heavily worked”. - Vavha Fitness

“The bent-arm planche requires you to balance on just your hands so your chest hovers a few inches above the ground. "Since your feet aren't involved, your pecs, back, arms, and abs have to support your body weight," says Josh Halbert, Director of Education at Kinetic Systems Strength and Conditioning in Columbia, Maryland, “It takes extreme strength and muscle control”. - Men’s Heath

By far my favorite push up variation! They work your chest, triceps, shoulders AND biceps! Important infomoration for those working out at home with no equipment. You CAN train your whole body using only body-weight movements. —————————————————————PSEUDO PLANCHE PUSH-UPS “How can a push-up help you with the development of your biceps? We know; it sounds silly. And we agree with you.


That being said, the pseudo planche push-up is the exception to that rule; especially if you make one slight adjustment.


Instead of doing the push-up with your fingers pointing forward, do it with the fingers pointing backward.


This grip change, coupled with the mechanics of the exercise, will force your biceps tendon to do a lot of the heavy lifting.


How to do it: 

1. Get in a high plank with your fingers pointing backward

 2. Protract the scapula and lean forward as much as you can 

3. When you find the maximum leaning point, descend to the bottom position of a push-up, then push yourself back up 

4. Hold the lean throughout the entire movement. 

You will feel your biceps work and your anterior deltoid burning.


The pseudo planche push-up is a difficult exercise, but it’s certainly worth your while as one of the best bodyweight bicep exercises”. -StrengthGang.Com
