1. BDSM (bench, deads, squats, military press). Don't use the machines, be like Arnold and BECOME the machine! Machines are just wasted squat rack space. 2. Lift heavy. The nerds already figured out that mo weight = mo muscle. Don't fix what's not broken. Anything more than 6 reps is cardio, anythin...Read more

I have observed some people eating and not exercising staying as it is while others exercising and finding it difficult to shred weight. Is it because of genetics? What role does it play? I am assuming people with good genes will burn more calories at rest and will have higher BMR
