    5 components for long term success

    cool.. anyway you can make it a bit bigger? I think I'm getting old - huh! I like this idea a lot :) The coolest with this approach is the gains are strength, endurance, flexibility, and health and the appearance is the icing on the cake! Really the way it should be :)

    5 components for long term success

    It took me awhile to like the tast of it but I LOVE it now particulary after PlyoX and the heavier lifting. The big thing is keeping up with the diet plan (as closely as you can).
