Get those beach muscles out

You feel that change in the air? You notice the women out on the street, walking around in sundresses and other forms of skimpier-than-usual clothing? You see the dramatic increase in the number of BBQs you’re invited to and attending? That’s right, everyone! Summer is here! Which means that, sooner or later, it’s going to be time for that first trip to the beach. But has it been a long winter of hibernation? Has being able to wear massive amounts of clothing to keep warm allow you to regress to a state of maybe 5-10 pounds more than you’d like to be? Luckily, just in time for summer, AskMen.com has put together a list of the top 10 exercises you need in order to reclaim that “beach body” of yours.

For instance, here’s their methodology for using pull-ups to get you in shape:
