In the spirit of both the Boring But Big Challenge, and the Boring But Strong Challenge, I have created the Pervertor Challenge. As you know, Pervertor combines BBB, BBS, and SSL 5x5, which I feel is a tremendous balance between strength and hypertrophy. Jim says in forever that he really likes the template as well for these same reasons. To add a little fun (and misery) to the mix though, there’s this.
