- Especially as they age

WEIGHT TRAINING

Fan of Vinnie wanted to know how many sets/reps to achieve a certain 'deal'
Wanted to know about how to add chest muscle
- Are chest flies worth it vs bench press?
  - If you have a lot of time, use flies to complement bench press
    - If you strictly want to add muscle meat, do bench press then incline press
    - Flies are worth it if you have time to do it
  - Bang for your buck comes from presses
Vinnie does bicep curls with 5/10/15lb weights
- He is rehabbing and doesn't want to press it
- He will not continue once he gets back to 30/40/50lbs
  - Then, he will do pull ups etc.
  - Vinnie doesn't like what curl biceps look like
    - Too Mark Wahlberg for his taste
      - real boobs vs. fake boobs
      - Curl biceps look too done
  - Vinnie is also a fan of lat pulls
    - Use a band attached to the top of your door if you don't have anything else
    - Pull down to your clavicle
Vinnie likes a little extra tricep
A crossfit body is a good body, but lots of people get hurt doing crossfit because of bad instruction
