Four Week Chest Workout Routine

Lcpl Hults, Lcpl Robertson, and Lcpl Snyder (my son) all serving in Iraq with the U.S. Marine Corp. sent me this 4-week chest workout routine that they are using in their free time. After all what do Marines do in their free time but work out and pump up. Check out this workout routine given to me by real heroes of our time. I would probably space my days different than these guys have but then I am 58 years old and not a 22 year old grunt.
