Steph has a really good bit of advice this month. It applies primarily to those training for bodybuilding, but will benefit all of us. Check it out! I’m no pro, by far, but since I have been lifting for 18 years, a good amount of it done powerlifting and bodybuilding, I do

The Kraken Files: January 2019—Let’s Just Cut the Shit and Lift In this month's The Kraken Files, Steph addresses a topic that bugs a lot of people, and drives others this month. Give it a read and see where you stand. This month’s column actually came to me after talking with a friend, and soon
