Thanks guys.
It is a valuable piece to have in your arsenal when you can hit PR's on command. This is what drives strength athletes and even bodybuilders in a way - you have to know how to get your body to peak so that you can consistently take things to the next level.
Hopefully everyone finds this article to be helpful and a few people are able to go out and set some new PR's!ASC 105 Kg Pro Strongman | My Website | Facebook Fan Page
