5) 40 MINUTES IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME YOU SHOULD BE SPENDING IN THE GYM. Period. Seems a little small doesn't it... Levels of Growth hormone and testosterone tend to skyrocket after about 25-27 minutes, then die in the arse after about 40. Anything after that is useless. Don't worry, when we piss all those arm exercises and machine sets off it's plenty. I've vomited after a 20 minute workout before, believe me.

6) 5 WORKING SETS IS THE MAXIMUM YOU SHOULD DO ON ANY BODYPART. If you can't hurt yourself sufficiently with 5 working sets, you simply aren't having a decent go.

7) NO SPOTTERS. You're there to build your chest, not some other dudes shoulders. We want to shock your body, and although it looks silly, that bloke grunting as he struggles to keep the bar from falling let alone moving it up is doing the most for himself in the whole place. You will learn how to exucute the exercise properly without one.

This is gunna be longer than I thought...

8) WARM UP SETS ARE OUT THE DOOR. You'll need the energy for the working sets. Eastern European powerlifters never warm up before sets, never have. By all means warm up on the stationary bike before your workout, maybe even use a weightless bar to practice the coming exercise, but never do a set at, say, half your working weight... it's just robbing you of energy.

9) BUY A STOPWATCH. You should be using the time between sets as a vehicle to increase stress on your body, you'll need a stopwatch of some description.

10) WHILE YOUR AT IT BUY A NOTEBOOK. Or better still set up a spreadsheet and take it with you. You MUST record your weights, reps, sets if you want to grow. This will tell you what you have done in the past, so you can plot what you want to do in a future workout.

Fuck I type slow, I'm having a break. I'll be back in ten...
