PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
If you’ve ever been intimidated by weights or curious about building muscle, strength, and tone with barbells, then these programs are for you.

Good program for off season

Ottimo programma per chi si sta avvicinando al mondo dei pesi per la prima volta, o per chi semplicemente come me, dopo un lungo stop, decide di rimettersi in carreggiata per ripartire correttamente e gestire bene sia il carico, che la fatica ad alte ripetizioni. Peccato non ci sia una variante studiata su 4 giorni, l’avrei fatta volentieri dopo questo, apprezzo molto anche gli esercizi per il core/priocezione, ottimo WO
