The TRUTH About Getting Jacked & Why The Iron NEVER Lies
Over 10 years later, I am still shocked with how strong I got and how much muscle I packed on when I trained in my parents garage.

The DE Evolution of Man
The DE Evolution of Man is going in a bad direction, and that's putting things lightly. Worst of all, it's moving TOO fast in that downward slope.
