o Leg swing: Start by standing straight, with your arms bent. Next, lift your palms up on either side. Be sure to keep your feet planted, and that you move in an upward motion. Keep your core tight and squeeze your biceps during this exercise. Keep a barbell in front of your head. Next, bend your knees at an angle of 90 degrees. Hold the weights in your hands and pull them towards each other.

* The leg swing: This is where you extend one leg back and lift the other. Concentrate on the triceps and not the biceps while performing leg swings. For the handstand, you should hold the weight higher than your head. Make sure you hold your biceps straight and slowly lower them towards your head. These exercises are great for building larger arms, even without the need to use weights.

This exercise can be done with one hand, as long you have straight back and parallel arms. This exercise will increase your bicep strength and improve your overall posture.
