Focusing on the obliques, mountain climbers are a great way to improve muscle tone as well as elevating the performer's heart rate.

With the preacher bench inhibiting shoulder movement and with the utilization of an overhand (pronated) grip, great emphasis is placed on the forearms (extensors) as well as the biceps. Reverse preacher curls are a premier exercise for wrist strengthening.

Wrist curls allow for isolation of the inner forearm muscles (i.e. the forearm flexors). Proper stretching should be performed prior to performing this exercise to reduce potential injury.

Dumbbell shrugs are a wonderful alternative the classic barbell shrugs for upper back (trapezius) building.
