I have been lifting seriously for 5 years, with not much to show in strength.
Currently 30 years old & 191lbs.
I have done a lot of reading and want to focus primarily on strength and hope that the mass with follow.
I am what you would call a 'hardgainer' - low recovery, low strength and a stressful job.
As such, I have attempted to modify WSB to 2 days a week.
Can you please give me some feedback on this routine:
