JUMP UP AND WINE CARIBANA WORKOUT VIDEO
The Caribana Festival celebrates its 43rd anniversary in 2010, it is the largest Caribbean festival in North America.
Caribana was created in 1967 as a community heritage project for Canada's Centennial year. Based on Trinidad Carnival, the Festival now also includes the music, dance, food and costumes of Jamaica, Guyana, the Bahamas, Brazil and other cultures represented in Toronto - the world's most culturally diverse city.
I thought it would be fitting to help those revellers look good while they dancing and prancing through the streets of Toronto tomorrow.
I have two great workouts; one for the guys that want to have the big arms and ripped chest when they take off those shirts in the hot sun.
For the women I have an awesome butt workout to ensure you have the tight behind, while they jiggle and dance to the music.
Now you are ready to FETE, have a great Caribana Weekend!
Biceps and Chest Workout
Do this workout before you leave for the parade and your arms will be ripping through your shirt.
Tight Butt Workout for Gals
If you are looking for this tight booty, perform this workout before you hit the streets and butt and men will thank you.

THE NEW YOU CREW - THE BICEPS GUNSLINGER
This is a great exercise for big biceps, huge forearms and solid grip. The gunslinger should be done for time 3 sets of 45 seconds per arm. You will feel this exercise throughout your entire arm. If you have 2 kettlebells you can do both arms at the same time.
You can use a Dumbbell if you don’t have a kettlebell as yet, but you do not get the same effect. Use a 25lb kettlebell, at least.

Exercise of the Week - Superset Bi's and Tri's
Are you looking to change up you arm workout and gain some valuable definition? Well Supersetting is the workout for you. What are Supersets you ask?
Supersetting is doing two different exercises back to back without stopping for rest. There are a number of benefits to supersetting.
1. Shocks your body by doing a different type of workout
2. Can get you out of the boring training rut, by doing something different
3. If your short in time, this is great way to maximize your workout
4. Add some muscle mass to your body
5. It gives you more of an aerobic exercise, which can help burn more fat
When supersetting, I always do so with antagonizing muscle groups, or push-pull groups. For example, perform Biceps/Triceps, Back/Chest and Quads/Hamstrings.
This week’s exercise is part of my Biceps and Triceps superset workout.
I usually perform this second in my set of exercises. Start with 10 reps of Standing Dumbbell Curls, ensuring that your shoulders are back, chest out and squeeze at the top of the movement. After you finish you last rep, move to the Pressdown machine and blast through 10 reps of Tricep Pressdowns once again keeping the shoulders back, chest out and squeeze at the bottom of the movement. Do 3 sets of this and rest assures you will see the definition take over your arm.

Funk's Big Biceps Blast
Hey Bruthas tell me there is nothing like throwing on a tank or a tight t-shirt and having the ladies drool over your arms, and Sistas, take it from me, there is nothing like a women in a sleeveless dress, with beautiful toned arms.
Although the bicep is the smaller muscle of the two in the upper arm (triceps being the larger), it still gets the most attention from the gawking eyes around us. As you know, building muscle burns fat faster than anything, so the more muscle you have in the arms, the bigger the bicep peak for the men and the more pronounced the line between the biceps and triceps will be for the ladies.
Here are 5 of my favourite bicep exercises
1. Incline Dumbbell Curl – I love this exercise for adding needed size to the bicep
2. Standing Barbell Curl – a staple in any bicep building routine
3. Preacher Curl (dumbbells or barbell) – Larry Scott made this famous for helping him build the peak
4. Cable Curls – this is great to help isolate the muscle
5. Dumbbell Curls 21’s – this is the ultimate in ending off any intense bicep workout
There you have Funk’s Five Favorites to a Famous set of Biceps. Ensure you incorporate some of these exercises into your bicep routine and I guarantee you will see results in no time.
