Damn, nice arms! 💪🏼
Absolutely wonderful novel points, many thanks for sharing.
You’ve impacted my workouts !
Yeah well that will never change
I have always loved the strength training. It's powerful and so easy to see improvement in strength. Very encouraging.
I was a teen during the 90's and it is so scary how much the drive to be thin impacted what we perceived as a healthy woman. I am 48 now and glad that my body can still respond to strength training and good nutrition. Thank goodness for persons like Dr. Sims!
So helpful! Thanks.
