* Editors Note

Thanks for the great routine, Chuck. I would like to caution everyone reading that you should always be using a spotter when you start using heavy weight - Especially on the compound movements.

If you're training at a gym and no one's around, ask the gym staff. Believe me, they won't mind at all.

If your training at home, don't get too carried away. I had a friend one time who started benching before I got to his house. I was about 50 feet from his house when I heard his cries for help. He went a little too heavy and the weight got stuck on his chest. He was trapped with that weight on his chest for 10 minutes. It's a good thing I showed up!

Use common sense when training at home and going heavy.

Good luck,

Blake







Muscle Building Tip!

Here's a quick tip spice up your meals.

Instead of cooking up your chicken or steak in a plain frying pan, try adding 1/2 cup low sodium chicken or beef broth.

Add some spices and cover to cook. The meat will be retain the juices and will be much tastier.
