Motivation
Everyone wants the perfect body New training programs, dietary supplements, and workout
machines
Maximize potential muscle growth Working muscles until failure
Dangerous without a spotter Work until lifter doubts he/she can lift the bar No human spotter Still augment muscle capacity with safety as a priority
