Look Up: Muscles

  1. Not bad. I was laughing when he did the how not to squat. I don't like the "only once a week" thing since I do 3 times a week.

    8. Eat a little more.

    Doesn't have to be buffet everyday, but something like a Whopper instead of a Whopper jr. Or 3 chicken tenders instead of 2.
