Pull-ups

I think one of the best exercises available are pull-ups. Too often I hear people (or read articles) that say the best way to do pull-ups is to start with the lat pull-down machines or, god-forbid, the pull-up machines.

More on Pacquiao and Steroids

Take a look at Pacquiao as a younger fighter. He was taller, lankier than other Flyweights and Bantamweights. It's similar to Paul Williams among other Welterweights. Assuming that Williams does well as a Middleweight does that mean he's on steroids? No.
