Strength Training Facts…Why I Don’t Like The Leg Press!
Over the years I have always been more interested in building the legs by either squatting or deadlifting in my strength training program. Now some of you would argue that deadlifting is more for building “the back,” and I would agree with you, but right here you’re wrong and I’m right because I’m the one writing the post!

I’ve got to tell you this segment was my favorite and I’ve got to give credit to Coach McLeod for bringing this to the table.
