Great tips for using freeweights. I will add some of these to my workout. I do have to say the line “Nobody likes unsightly, flabby arms.” this was a bit offensive…saying “unsightly” is going a bit far especially when frugivore often has pieces on being positive and self image, yes arms might be flabby but to say they are unpleasant to look at is just cruel.

Deadlifts are amazing. I put them in my circuit a couple of months ago, thinking they wouldn’t be hard, but I was so so so so wrong.
So helpful!
