Five leg days down and one more to go during the final bit of this program. Today felt a hundred times better than the last leg day that I endured but I am still wiped by it. Brandon is really good about pushing the volume almost to the edge but then giving you just enough…
I am very behind on posting about this training session but Easter weekend ended up redirecting my focus toward family and friends. None the less, I would hate to disappoint anyone further so here it is! Leg day this week was truly a struggle and humbling to some extent. To be honest, I let myself…

Today, however, I was forced to combine two days of training in order to make room for Legs on Saturday. Normally I would just hit…
For those of you who I have never had the pleasure to meet, my name is Josh Lytle and I am currently an undergraduate at Purdue, officer of the Purdue Barbell Club, and have been been coached by Brandon for the past two and a half years. I am honored to have been given the…
