- This biceps workout focuses on all the critical functions of your biceps and challenges the muscle from all angles, using a mechanical drop set structure. You’ll start by attacking the biceps at the most stretched position with the incline curl, then transition right into the seated curl (a slightly easier curl version). You’ll finish with the hammer curl, removing supination responsibilities from your biceps. This ultra-quick workout should take 10 to 15 minutes and can be done with a single set of DBs, making it a great way to get a pump in a hotel. You can also tack this workout on to the end of a pull-focused workout or upper-body workout. For more workouts, check out 100 Best Physique Workouts.

- Rolling the chest can be tricky compared to other parts of the body, and the movements will be much smaller. In fact, you might not do much rolling at all. Instead, you will focus on applying pressure to the center of the muscle. Once you find a tender spot, relax the muscle and breathe into the pressure. This generally takes about 30-60 seconds. At that point, you can add small rolling motions.
