So this one was inspired by one of the exercises from my book "The Best Home Gym Exercises You've Never Heard Of."

That exercise is the Very Close Grip Barbell Row (it's the first exercise shown on the page, working the brachialis muscle with a compound exercise).

I took the same concept and applied it to the Inverted Row.

The brachialis muscle (which sits under the lower aspect of the biceps) has a TON of untapped growth potential that most people are missing out on.

If you want bigger, more peaked biceps, you can achieve that by building the brachialis (it pushes up the biceps from underneath, thereby increasing the peak).

Set the bar about 3 to 4 feet off the ground. The more upright you are, the less resistance you'll be working against, the lower the bar, the more the resistance, same as with regular inverted rows.

Take a very close grip on the bar.

Then pull yourself up towards the bar making sure your elbows flare out WIDE to the side, maximizing flexion in the elbow.

You will feel this VERY strongly in the brachialis.

Important...don't try and pull the bar apart...try to just pull your hands directly towards your face (your hands are locked down, so your hands won't move...your face will, but that's the best cue for it).

You can watch the video for this one here.

If you have a bar (rack or Smith machine), you should definitely try this one....it blew my arms up every bit as good as the barbell row version.

I also did a pull-up version that is MUCH more advanced than this...there's a lot more resistance but it's a bit tougher to get the feel for...you can see the video for that one here.

If you're very strong on pull-ups, you might want to try that one, too.
