Keep it stupid simple (KISS). Just stick to the basics and work your ass off for max results

 

[bradlys]

Funny but true. These are the most common stupid questions ask by beginners like me. I should get into the basics and not go through a shortcut. It is better to sweat off blood for me to get into shape so that it can truly be a memorable one for me. Keep it coming. Thanks!

This is a good Q & A some parts were questionable (nekid = surgery... smh) but i think attitude like this discourages beginners and they end up buying some gay as fuk workout at home dvd.

 

[Skeptic]

I think this is the perfect attitude one should have if they want to lift heavy arse weights.

I disagree. I think beginners need to be bludgeoned with the honest truth so they learn early and stop wasting our time and bytes with their dumbass questions.
