I disagree. Mr Mere goes up to the resident gym trainer and asks, in
innocent ignorance, "hey, buddy, which of these machines is good for pecs?",
and is pointed to the pec deck. So, he does his cardio and five sets of pec
deck, three times a week, and builds pecs. Little shoulders, no arms.
Or, maybe more likely, he figures out that the trainer is a moron, and does
bench and incline press, building chest, shoulders, and triceps. And,
ignoring lats, traps, and biceps, gets a goofy looking, imbalanced,
injury-prone, upper body.
