CT your new layer system is awesome. I’m progressing very well and as I’m going deeper into this layer system training I’m understanding the logic behind repeating everything only once a week. My recovery is much better and performance increase every workout is extremely motivating. I’m always looking for my next workout, even my joints are happy. So big thanks to you.
