The Essential Guide to Building the Ultimate Back - The Strength Shop
The Essential Guide to Building the Ultimate Back - The Strength Shop: "Being a strength fanatic, I understand that true strength is found in things unseen. Strength of character far outweighs any bench press PR. But we aren't getting into that today, We are, however, talking about other kinds of strength 'less seen'. Everybody wants to look good in the mirror, and rightfully so. So we build the chesticles and strive for washboard abs. What many people fail to realize is that real physical strength is found behind the scenes. When combined with adequate mobility, the muscles of the back and the muscles found deep in the trunk are the keys to insane power, strength and longevity. It has been said that you are only as young as your spine is flexible."
