Hi Coach,
I have a quick question about training twice a week, I hope you can help me out! Unfortunately, my personal situation now doesn’t let me be in the gym more than 2 days a week (no problem of time, those days), also because I already train boxing twice a week (so a total of 4 times) and I’m studying hard for a competition exam. Would you still suggest your “Part-time Beast” workout? Or can you give me some suggestions for a training program that balances hypertrophy and strenght?
Thank you very very much!!!
