Pull Your Own Weight
Hit the gym regularly and you will build muscle. But how can you tell when you’ve graduated from scrawny to brawny? “A mark of true strength is being able to move your own weight in iron,” says Jim Smith, C.S.C.S., of Diesel Strength & Conditioning in Elmira, New York. To complete this month’s challenge, you’ll have to do that not once but five times, with three classic powerlifting moves. Consider it the perfect excuse to throw your weight around—and pack on more muscle while you’re at it.
YOUR GOAL: Lift your weight in iron 15 times
HOW TO DO IT: First, load a barbell so it weighs as much as you do; then do 5 reps of each exercise below, resting 60 to 90 seconds between moves.
