    Machines, my thoughts.

    I was thinking about barbell exercises. When a boxer throws the killer punch, he instinctively stands shoulder width distance with dominant foot forward, arm at a 90 degree angle, fist clenched and torso slightly twisted. The power starts at the feet builds up in the legs and hip, torso bent...

    Thoughts on Zyzz?

    First off, I know a lot you disagree with his videos and antics, who cares about all that. His physique was impressive, is it possible for an ectomorph to get it naturally?
