SQUATS!!!

Ok so hopefully we have killed our sacred cow and are ready to start actually seeing results from all the hard work we put into our body. All of my workout routines are essentially variations on three exercises:

1 - Squat (Legs)

2 - Chest press (Chest)

3 - Deadlift - (Back)

These exercises hit the largest parts of your body, and they are all compound movements which stimulate two or more different muscle groups at the same time. Just remember, if you have any injuries please consult your doctor before trying any of the movements I recommend.

SQUAT

When in doubt, squat it out. This exercise increases your testosterone more than any other movement and increasing your testosterone can induce muscle growth and fat loss without changing your diet. If you are having a bad day, work out your frustrations by doing some squats. If you are having a good day celebrate by doing some squats! Want to eat that cheese cake without gaining weight? 60 seconds of squats before indulging your sweet tooth will help with that. Never skip leg day.

HOW TO DO IT: Grab a bench or a chair. Line the back of your calves up against the bench just a little over shoulder width apart.

Keep your chest parallel to the wall and touch your butt to the bench without moving your calves from the bench. All your weight should be on the back of your heels.

Now push back up in your heels and return to the standing position. Do 8-10 repeitions, then take a break. Do another set of 8-10 reps, and repeat until you`ve done 3 complete sets of 8-10 repetitions. Once you get comfortable with the technique take the bench away and start adding weight!

TOMORROW: THE CHEST PRESS!!
