We are back!!! Thanks for hanging in there while we were off for the month of August. Rebecca and I are back for another season and we are ready!!

In today's episode, Rebecca and I discuss safety measures you should take when benching and squatting. The gym is a controlled environment because you are the one in control of your weights and set up. It is a safe environment if you use common sense and take steps to ensure that you will get the most out of your training.
