Top 12 P90X Exercises Exposed… (3 of 12)

The P90X exercises are extreme and in today’s post I’ll be discussing yet another killer P90X exercise from disc #3 in the series “Shoulders & Arms”. Introducing:

The Crouching Cohen Curl

It may seem like a mouthful but it’s a relatively easy exercise to explain. Actually performing this P90X exercise may however prove to be a heck of a challenge for some!

So here’s how it works. First you want to select the weight or resistance band that works best for you. If you’re going for a slimmer, toned look you’ll want to shoot for lower weight and do more reps (12-15) if you’re going for size, opt for heavier weights and less reps (8-10). From here you can choose to have support or not. This can be done by leaning up against a wall or your couch for that matter. The key to this P90X exercise is to have your elbows just below your knees and be sure to let your arms fall straight down at the bottom of the move. If you’re using a resistance band you’ll want to shorten up your band by looping it and use both feet to hold it in place to perform the same move as with free-weights.

It totally isolates your biceps and makes you work really hard to get those reps (especially if you’re working with heavier weights) It’s just phenomenal! When you’re done with your set there’s no question about it’s effectiveness. For my next post we’ll be taking a look at a very special P90X exercise from the Yoga X workout. Yes…yoga is part of the P90X workout system and there’s good reason for it. Find out more in my next post.
