Seriously, that must have really hurt, he face planted the wight rack
I'm currently trying to get fit again after being far too lazy for far too long. Starting back with mainly rowing, got myself a Concept2 rower and RowPro software, feels good to be doing excercise again.
Must say I am supprised at the lack of compound and leg workouts in most peoples sessions. They are the single best thing for strength and fitness, isolation exercises are pretty much for tarts or pros who already have the size and strength they want and want to define specific areas more. For beginners I recommend the StrongLifts 5x5 training, you make good progress at a decent pace
to be fair alot of the people that have commented do other things aswell to get their general exercise and do the lifting for either fun or to look good. so yes tarts in some respect. i used to do it as it was quite fun, i'd only do it now to improve my ability at other sports
