I started with Mass BB last week. Today I just finished day 1 of week 2 (as written above I always combine SE and E days). So today I did those 15% x 10 sets for SE and it felt too light after day 3 of the first week. It felt like an easy warm up and I didn't have to take a break between sets. I on...

Seems like a lot if you're the 'other' grey man. I've done more leg volume in workouts in the past, buy ...

I was looking forward to this book for so long! I just ordered it and have to wait now for at least 3 weeks (Switzerland). The cost of the shipping equals the costs of the book. Would love to additionally buy an electronic version what could be read if I am on the road and don't have the hardcopy w...
