Saturday podcast with her will be coming up in the future CHEST Do not do EVERY exercise in one day How to choose how to build your chest: If you're not trying to become a bodybuilder, at the very most pick 3 exercises per workout that focus on Chest Ex: bench press, incline, decline, dips, dumbbell press, flat fly, incline fly, decline fly, pushups Hit it and quit it -- your body can only handle so much Start with major exercise, then do two minor exercises Also, make sure you are warmed up with a light weight exercise first (this does not count as 1 of your 3 exercises) How much weight (8-9 sets of press) Reps: 12-15 is good, you want to be hurting at rep 12 (weight wise) and wondering if you can get to 15 If you are doing 8 reps, you want to be 'struggling' at rep 6 Free weights make sure someone is spotting you Don't overwork triceps either (tricep extensions) More is not necessarily better QUITTING SUGAR If you aren't going to quit grain, your liver doesn't know that you quit sugar It might help quitting just sugar, but not ever really effective until you quit both PUTTING LIFE INTO LIVING You can enjoy sugar or grain every once in awhile, just dont go crazy and don't make it a habit, then it is a slippery slope Vinnie has done 2 years of NLIL and hasn't found ways around it He never told himself lies and ate agave or fake sugars or anything like that If you want to do NLIL, don't lie to yourself -- your liver won't believe you!
