Yes.



Make sure you continue to breath while workout out. No exceptions.

is very true.Switching up the routines every other week or 2 will help shock the muscle and stimulate growth!!cool right?
Remember if you do the same thing over, and over and over yah gonna get slow results because the body gets used to this strain of motion.
So if you switch it up and your sore the next day..you know you accomplished your goal! :thumbup:

5.Dont be afraid to rest..resting is when your muscles grow..so its just as important to rest as it is to work out!
Im sure you all know that you gain size by ripping muscle fibers and they layer over each other over the rest period to gain size.
So dont be afraid to rest.If you are truly sore then take 2 days in a row off..or more if needed.
whenever i feel like i'm getting used to a lift, i run the rack. i do each set of my arm workouts to muscle failure. basically, it just "jump starts" my muscles. this has to be coincidence, but my bench max goes up by 5 lbs every single time i run the rack.

sleep and rest is extremely important in muscle growth. this man knows what he's talking about

i go all the way down to the bar and i try to get at least 100-150 reps with that changing the placement of my hands say every 30-40 reps. i dont know if doing the bar that much helps, but it hurts like a mother****er so it must be good
