SKINNY-FAT TRANSFORMATION
The #1 Website for Skinny-Fat Guys
I often see guys at the gym using way more weight than me. Some of them are bigger, but surprisingly, most of them are not. Last time I trained at the gym, I finished my workout with 35lbs barbell curls. In the meanwhile, there was a guy next to me curling double of my weight. That …
Most of you can perform sets of 20+ regular push ups with ease and this makes the push up useless for strength and muscle building, since it’s too easy. 20+ reps will mostly build endurance since the upper body responds best to 8-20 reps for muscle building.
