TechWorld - Software vendors have improved their response to security flaws in the last 12 months but some still take too long to patch the highest-risk vulnerabilities, figures from Swiss testing firm High-Tech Bridge have suggested.

Comparing 2012 to last year, the firm found that critical flaws were now being patched in 11 days (up from 17), while medium and low-risk flaws were now being fixed in 13 and 25 days respectively (as against 29 days and 48 days).

This means that the average time to patch has fallen across categories from 27 days to 18 days, a 33 percent improvement.

These statistics are based on the 62 security advisories released by High-Tech Bridge through its ImmuniWeb SaaS testing service, covering 162 vulnerabilities, so the reported improvement is indicative rather than definitive.

More than half of the flaws in web apps were cross-site scripting (CSS) issues, with SQL injection in second place on 20 percent. Mature products tend to have less of these issues, the firm said, suffering more from cross-site request forgery and user-identity spoofing.

The most flaw-prone web applications during 2013 were content management and publishing systems, with in-house applications accounting for 40 percent of XSS and CSS flaws uncovered by High-Tech Bridge during penetration testing. Plugins made up another 30 percent of issues, and small CMS systems 25 percent. The largest systems such as WordPress and Joomla - whose vulnerabilities will cause the most serious problems because of their popularity - made up the final five percent.

High-Tech Bridge CEO, Ilia Kolochenko, argued that 11 days was still too long to patch serious flaws but did note:

"General awareness within vendors about the importance of application security is growing, with vendors finally taking security seriously. In the past, even well-known vendors postponed security-related fixes in favour of releasing new versions of their software with new functionality and unpatched vulnerabilities.

Is 11 days fast enough? Probably not. As patching times improve so do exploit times, holding the industry in a struggle to close a window that always seems remain wedged open. Even when flaws are patched that doesn't mean they are applied quickly, or in some cases, at all.

Everybody wants a big chest that pops and screams massiveness. Whether that is a word or not Im not sure, but you get the point. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of building the pecs is the bench press, and so it should. That is the foundation of building a big chest, and it would be hard to do so without youre your pectorals (aka - chest) is one of the biggest muscle groups in your body, and needs to be trained in an intelligent way for it to grow. The chest is made up of two muscles, the Pectoralis Major and the Pectoralis Minor. The Pec major originates on the medial clavicle and 6 ribs on the sternal border. It then inserts on the intertubercular groove of the humerus. In other words, the muscle originates at the midline of your body and inserts into a small depression on your humerus (upper arm bone) just below your shoulder joint. The second muscle that makes up your chest is the Pectoralis Minor. This muscle originates on the anterior (front) surface of ribs 3-5, and inserts on the corocoid process of the scapula (just before the end of the clavicle). Knowing a little bit about where muscles originate and insert can actually help you train them. Now to the fun part, how do you build a chest that is strong and big? It all comes down to how you train. There are not a wide array of exercises for chest other than forms of pressing and flies. Therefore, we must find a way of manipulating reps, tempo and movement patterns to keep our muscle fibers growing, also known as hypertrophy. Think of training your chest in a block like fashion. For example:

Block 1:

Learning Phase: (Learning the movement and mastering the form through full Range of motion.)

High Incline Barbell Press- 4x12 Middle Incline Barbell Press- 4x12 Flat Barbell Press- 4x12

High Incline Dumbbell Press-4x12 Mid Incline Dumbbell Press-4x12 Flat Dumbbell Press- 4x12

Incline DB Flies- 3x12 Flat DB Flies- 3x12

Youll notice here that this block is high volume and low intensity.

Block 2:
