It’s that day of the week again, folks. Here we go…
1. Last night, Dan Toledano hit a 405 bench - his first 400+ pound bench. Congratulations, Dan. If you keep this up, you might actually get around to kicking that Star Trek fetish and meeting a girl who has all her teeth [...]

Q: I’ve found your articles on T-Nation very informative, and enjoy the format you use to convey your message (with humor!).
