			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re the type that has trouble sticking to a routine, you&#8217;d buy a weight bench and at least 300 pounds. A home gym is much easier than having to go out. You&#8217;ll save time and you won&#8217;t be able to make excuses to skip your workout.</p>
<p>Work out no more than twice a week and don&#8217;t forget to take breaks when necessary. I usually take a two-week break every six months and during stressful times.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re just starting out, you&#8217;ll want to do a lot of deadlifts and also benches to build up your joints. Big joints are key to lifting heavy. Hint: To get good lat size quickly, rep it out with some one-arm dumbbell rows.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t overdo it like most guys; unless you&#8217;re on steroids, doing more than three exercises per workout is just too much. Don&#8217;t do more than four sets per exercise, even if you really want to.</p>
<p>At one point, I was eating upwards of 160 grams of protein per day, but then after having spent too much money on the supplements and having decided to back off, I actually put on muscle at a noticeably faster rate. Eggs and milk are easily available, digestable and high in balanced protein.</p>
<p>On days when you&#8217;re not lifting, supplement your routine with good cardio to increase your circulation and lung capacity.</p>
<p>Having a toned body will help you to develop good form. If you&#8217;re concerned with your posture, keep a mirror by your bench or ask your partner to spot you.</p>
<p>Perhaps I&#8217;ll write more on this subject later. For now, best of luck to you all. Keep throwing those weight around and never give up!</p>
