Friday, February 27th, 2009

Chains and bands on a old favorite.
Getting big is easy, unless you’re really skinny   Two things, eat more, lift more.  No body can really argue with that.  The nuances can make your head spin but it boils down to these two foundational problems.  You have to eat more food if you want to [...]

Am I going to get big?!

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
