New to the forums just a little about myself i am 6 1 weigh 280 lbs, and been hitting the weights for about 15 years on and off, the past 5 years i have changed my workout style as far as still going as heavy as i can but keeping a min of 8 reps, and a max of 20 to 30 depending on the exercise, so far is been paying off and i do see changes
Thank you for taking the time to read this post
