Deadlifts And Broomstick Twists

Three (3!) grown men in the gym today doing "broomstick twists". Seriously. Stop doing those. Stop doing crunches. What a waste of your precious, limited time in life. You should take those minutes and hug your kids or do something useful instead.

And buy "The New Rules of Lifting for Abs" if you need help with your ab workouts (this book is mandatory reading for trainers)

1) Hang Clean

2) Deadlift

3A) Good Morning
3B) Stability Ball "Stir the Pot" (This exercise is described in the latest Men's Health and in this blog post:

Hopefully he'll become a regular lender too. It's pretty cool to have your loan repaid and then you can relend to another entrepreneur. It's like a sugar-high, but with lending!!! Lending high!
