Most people think being "fit" is a function of how much muscle mass and how little body fat they have. What they often don't realize is that some of the best athletes and bodybuilders in the world-guys with great-looking physiques-are walking time bombs.

Their training has either neglected certain muscle groups, or it's been focused on aesthetics for so long, that they're at risk for serious injury. The resulting damage could be so severe it may threaten their ability to stay in shape over the long haul.

To keep that from happening, we've designed a program that will not only help you to build the chest, arms, and abs you want for this summer, but also keep them. For as long as you keep training. We've divided your workouts up into three, four-week phases.

Phase I Intro/Directions Week 1: Workout I Week 1: Workout II Week 1: Workout III Week 2: Workout IV Week 2: Workout V Week 2: Workout VI Week 3: Workout VII Week 3: Workout VIII Week 3: Workout IX Week 4: Workout X Week 4: Workout XI Week 4: Workout XII
