Doing Work With The Help Of Matt20

[kickboy]

cool Man, this will also rest your body from the cardio and let you work size and strength. I think our bodies respond well to cycle training. It's like no matter what the focus is strength or endurance at some point we peak and have to rest then rebuild. All the while trying to retain as much of a base as possible. I think the biggest mistake I have made over the years is running too much and being addicted to less than 10% body fat. I mean I don't want it over 18% but at 6-8 it is hard to gain any power or at least I think it is true of my body.

Nothing wrong with a home gym man, that's what I got. You can listen to what ever music you want and however load you want. Nobody curling in the squat rack, nobody not wiping the equipment when there done, man I can go on forever.

Also you have a Sledge to tire set up! ENVIOUS bro.
