You are doing it wrong.

Hey what’s up! Matt here.

This is my first *real* post on here and I wanted take a break from working on the program to give you a few quick tips. Actually, just one tip because I am heading off to the gym myself here in a few minutes.

What I really want to address is form relative to the amount of weight you lift. I mean, who hasn’t been in the gym watching some of these guys loading up the bar with 300+ lbs. only to watch them squat a total of about three inches.

This is what we tend to call “ego-lifting”. As in, you load up the weight to impress everyone in the gym rather than actually increase your muscle mass. It definitely looks cool, I can’t argue with you there. But it is pointless. Moreover, its actually counterproductive instead of actually building bigger muscles.

And just for the record, most of the girls I talk to could care less about how much weight you can lift as long as you look good naked.

But hey, that’s another story(s) :)

Anyway, point being, don’t do this! If you allocate only one day a week to doing squats, and you do them wrong every time you go lift, you won’t build any muscle at all. Nor will you burn any fat. So mostly, you are just wasting your time (and possibly money).

Now I can hear you saying “so what is the right way then? Enough will all this.” Well, aren’t you in luck, because I just happen to know how! And I intend to cover it in depth in the course when it comes out. But in the mean time, I found some youtube videos of the three major lifts (you should be doing a lot of these!) and thought I would post them here for you guys to watch. So take a look:

Bench:

Deadlift:

Squat:

Hey I’m off. Don’t forget to join the mailing list. See you soon!
