GuestI’m having my first year in grades next year, and need to add strength and size to cope with the demands. I’ve improved my fitness after following a program Ash wrote for me, I’m looking to follow this for around 12 weeks and then move into a greater speed focussed program then building up to the Back Row program Ash wrote a few weeks ago. Does this sound good?
