A Note About Sending E-mails
I have been pleasantly flooded with questions about training and bodybuilding. However, I have to say that because of my time commitments with my clients and others my time is somewhat restricted. It would just be too time intensive for me to write programs for everyone that wrote me even though I appreciate the e-mails. So, I do promise to start listing some general programs that people can use. Below is an outline about how to ask questions to get the answers you are looking to receive.
Send me:
1. Age
2. Sex
3. Injury History
4. Current Training and Nutritional/Supplementation Programs
5. How long you have been training
6. Bodyfat
7. Goals: Be as specific as possible with time frames as well
8. Frequency of Training
9. Other commitments, i.e. family, relationships, etc.

Weak Links!
It seems that most articles written today are trying to improve your bench press. However, if you want real success in the gym, whether it be increasing strength, losing bodyfat, or gaining muscle, you will also have to be proficient in other exercises like pull-ups, squats, deadlifts, and other complex movements. Here are some common weak points that people have and how to get them up to par.
