After that, do whatever you can.

I don't have a particular need to get bigger or even build the type of strength that weight-training is great for. This is, in part, because I lifted a lot in college and for a year or two afterward and in part because I've got pretty good genes. I also find that if I focus in on bodyweight exercises, I can train dusty.rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058725127054554344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411266245885628595.post-80509355236823346802007-07-20T12:48:00.000-05:002007-07-20T12:48:00.000-05:00It does.
