He is a personal inspiration for me. I would like to ask you a couple of questions regarding his training methods and on performing the 'bent-press'. 1. How did he train EXACTLY? Especially the bent-press. Did he train 3 days a week? How many reps? How many sets? Did he cycle? I am actually looking for details. 2. Are there any videos on the correct performance of the bent-press? I would like to perfect my technique. Thanks, Harry 381628@blogcritics.org Sun, 4 Jun 2006 11:11:03 EDT
