No business in the gym quote

Post by skully »

Hey guys,

I often hear ya say "You have no business in the gym if you can't do 20 pushups or something like body weight"...Do you have any idea who "actually" said that and the actual quote? I am writing an article about the best 10 body weight exercises for building lean mass, ones you can do in the office, home, park...etc. w/o any equipment.

and i want to emphasize on that quote...any suggestions?

I read that on "Your body is a barbell" by Alwyn Cosgrove:

Look in the 3rd paragraph

If I had to do 20 pu I'd still be sitting at home.
