In today's world of bombardment of getting fit-in-a-minute programs (two-minute exercise), magic pills (increase muscle mass and reduce body fat), overnight diets (lose 20 pounds in a week) and so on, I believe in the most productive, safest way of training. You don't need the "chrome" weights to get stronger or bigger. There are a few things you do need. You need the desire to work HARD. Listen to the ones who are the true professionals. You can use whatever you have available at your home or gym. You will be able to see results. There are many people in the field who are misinforming the public about strength training. I will not put a client in an exercise in which they could possibly get injured (due to their body composition). The base behind any strength training program is to gain strength, to gain weight/lose weight, or to perform better at one's skill (sport). Check my articles on the www.selfgrowth.com site (Common Sense Strength Training), ( How To Gain Muscle Mass ) and ( How to Improve In One's Skill ). You can also e-mail me for your free 30-page copy of my E-book (Your Guide to Strength Training - The Common Sense way). Here's a taste of what's in Joe's article Common Sense Strength Training: If you haven’t touched a weight or have never begun a strength training program, it is essential that one get clearance from a physician and tell him/her what you plan on doing. Once this is done, you must learn to train the correct and safest way to attain the results you’re looking for. There are a lot of people out their who are misinforming the public about strength training. You do not want to put yourself in a situation in which you could possibly get injured or hurt from strength training. Here's a sample from Joe's article How To Gain Muscle Mass: Intensity is a big key in how one trains. Intensity is how hard one trains in that particular exercise. Do you give up on the 7th repetition, or do you continue to go on until you can’t perform another repetition? The intensity level on how one trains is where one can attain great results. This will vary from one individual to another. If you train longer then 45 minutes you’re kidding yourself about the intensity level. Joe's Bio Joe Karszen, B.S., M.S.
