Bigger Biceps VS Being Dangerous (And FINALLY Squatting 400+ Lbs Again!)
Let me warn you that the language in this video is NOT WFS (Work / Family Safe). Those of you who "get it" understand that when you are doing something with intensity and passion, there are times you need to go to a "dark place" and do what must be done to face your demons.
