The Pencil Files Complete (final)

Well I have had quite a few evenings with nothing but Japanese TV for company so I have dug through some archives, re-read Leo Costs`s Big Beyond Belief book of the early 90`s which used the Bulgaian weightlifting training model applied to hypertrophy and strength training well worth a read, also looked at Charles Poliquin`s work on two a day training for the same body part, and this is what I have come up with as the final instalment in my Pencil to Crayon training programs, shall trial it and see if it is possible to do and then apply it to our young player, exercise selection is purely based on what I have available at this time feel free to use whatever you feel is worthwhile for you whilst maintaining the integrity of the sets and reps, cheers and enjoy your training, it is definitely one of the keys to success, ash
