Bodybuilding

I decided to make some notes about the main things I would have in a gym if I owned one and didn’t care as much about making money as I did about just having a badass gym to train in. I think every meathead has done this at one time or another.

This part of my program has got your back. Literally. This time around, we're going to focus on the back. We're gonna send it shooting off like a rocket. Blast-off!
