Monday muscle building workout

Back to the Jay Ferruggia workouts after a weekend off training...just did a lot of walking this weekend, but no kettle bell work.

Had to make a couple of small changes...subbed in full squats for leg press...that was fun for 15 reps, trust me.

One thing that both Jay and I have used in our programs is the elbow-out dumbell row. Instead of tucking the elbow into your side, point it out to the side. This works your upper back more.

Brady Quinn's trainer had him do 2iarm underhand dumbell rows. Another good variation.

For strength and mass and power, keep your workouts simple. Jay recommends 3 days per week. The guys working with Brady Quinn put together a 4-day per week program to prepare Brady for the NFL - checkout the workout in the latest Men's Health magazine.

And don't give me or your trainer the excuse that you can't squat. You get up and down off your chair at work, don't you?

Use the basics to build your body,
