My current workout routine
Monday, April 6th, 2009Please keep in mind that I workout at home and do not have all the equipment that would normally be available at a gym so I make the best out of what I have. I have no leg press or hack squat machines and am always on the prowl for something used, in good condition AND at a good price. I’ve done very well with my collection so far.Â
