Just curious if you've written a template running the big 15 in a garage gym? No machines,just squat rack,chin bar,adjustable bench,barbell,and dumbells. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work. <br /> ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860633580299120481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-41519608590858793532011-03-19T17:40:20.834-07:002011-03-19T17:40:20.834-07:00Yup.

Is there any intent to build strength over the 9 weeks, or is it purely for validating openers/2nd's/3rd's? The template layout is crystal clear, just curious if you would use this at any point in the year other than a run up to a meet.biglifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144235288757334023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-89784369411713196242011-03-14T20:17:24.085-07:002011-03-14T20:17:24.085-07:00I laughed........I laughed........Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-23472648018891261512011-03-14T20:07:02.976-07:002011-03-14T20:07:02.976-07:00HOW CAN I INCORPORATE SPEED WORK INTO THIS ROUTINE...HOW CAN I INCORPORATE SPEED WORK INTO THIS ROUTINE?
