Exercise Description and Instruction:

This compound exercise is an arm exercise that combines a classic bicep exercise as well as a classic tricep exercise.

Performing the exercise as pictured requires you to be able to balance while kneeling on a stability ball. However, you can also sit on the stability ball and place your feet firmly on the floor. This will make the exercise easier to perform and allow you to use more weight.

To Perform This Exercise:

Grasp a dumbbell in each hand with and underhand (palms facing up) grip.
Kneel on a Stability Ball, drawing your abs in and keeping your back straight.
Raise one arm up over your shoulder and keep your other arm curled.
Bend your raised arm back as if performing a triceps extension while lowering your other arm and curling it back.
Return to starting position and repeat arms.

Tips:

Perform this exercise in front of a mirror at first so that you can monitor and correct your form.
Focus on keeping your elbows locked in during the bicep curl portion as well as the overhead extension.
