Frequently asked questions
Is the exercise database in the ebook?
Sorry, no. Instead, the exercises in the ebook link to the exercise database on the website, so the ebook and website work together.
It’s not possible to put the exercise database into the ebook because the ebook’s file size would get too big, and no one would be able to download it.
However, the ebook does contain a Target Muscle Guide. If you can read and understand it (it’s quite detailed), you will not need the exercise database. The Target Muscle Guide will teach you what muscles are activated by all major exercise movement patterns.
Can I use your exercise illustrations for my own project?
Sorry, I cannot allow anyone to use my illustrations for their own projects (i.e. websites, ebooks, etc.) because I do not own full rights. You can buy the images for your own projects at www.gymvisual.com.
Do you accept guest posts?
Sorry, I do not accept guest posts.

NOTES
The Smith machine squat will allow you to safely squat a heavy weight in the absence of a spotter. Just make sure that you use the safety pins.
Although great for allowing you to safely squat heavy weights, this exercise is not as beneficial as is the barbell squat because the latter recruits more stabilizer muscles and helps to improve your balance and coordination.
Keep your feet flat and your torso upright.
Keep your feet and knees pointing in the same direction.
