										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HOME ABOUT SUBSCRIBE P.F. CHALLENGE There is a saying attributed to Bruce Lee and his practical approach to training: “Everything works and nothing works.” It is a wonderfully useful idea because it punctures the biggest lie in the gym: that there is some special routine, one critical exercise, one magic rep range, or one perfect schedule that works forever for everyone.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HOME ABOUT SUBSCRIBE P.F. CHALLENGE Most men in the gym save their hardest rep for last. They start with a weight they can handle for eight, ten, or twelve reps. The first few reps are easy. The middle reps are work. Then, finally, the last rep demands everything they have.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HOME ABOUT SUBSCRIBE P.F. CHALLENGE The bench press is one of the most famous muscle-building exercises in the gym. For men over 50, it can also be one of the most misunderstood. Most lifters think the only “real” bench press is the full-range version: lower the bar all the way to the chest, press it to lockout, repeat until tired. That may be fine for some younger lifters with…</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HOME ABOUT SUBSCRIBE P.F. CHALLENGE Few exercises have a better reputation for building real-world strength than the deadlift. Done conventionally, it trains the muscles that help you stand tall, brace your torso, pull, lift, and move with power. The glutes, hamstrings, spinal erectors, upper back, traps, lats, forearms, and gripping muscles all get called into action.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HOME ABOUT SUBSCRIBE P.F. CHALLENGE There are some muscles you can hide under a shirt. Your upper back is not one of them. A strong upper back changes the way a man looks, stands, moves, and carries himself. It widens the torso. It improves posture. It gives the body that powerful V-shape that says, even before you lift anything, that you are still physically capable.</p>
