Found an article in Mens Health's October issue on Craig Fitzgerald, strength and conditioning coach at Penn State. The following are quotes and training tips from him:
1. Work out on your feet. "Machines don't strengthen smaller muscles, ligaments and tendons. Training on your feet makes you functionally fit so you'll do more than sit and push weight."
2. Focus on a few main exercises such as the bench, squat and deadlift. Everything else is interchangeable.
3. Be consistent. "Making it the the gym several times a week is more important than how much weight you lift."
4. "Are you a guy who dreads his workout, or are you making a plan at 4 P.M. so you can hit it hard after work? Some guys feel they have to work out; others want to work out."
