Carolhttp://www.collagevideo.com/forum/fb.ashx?m=77010Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:23:17 GMTTo build up muscle mass, maybe you should try eating some protein after completing your weight workouts.  I usually have a glass of milk, sometimes with protein powder in it, after lifting weights.  It's helped me to build up some muscles.http://www.collagevideo.com/forum/fb.ashx?m=77009Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:13:26 GMTSuch an interesting topic.

So I think it would be appropriate to do your swings in addition to your STS workout and/or on your non-SThttp://www.collagevideo.com/forum/fb.ashx?m=76354Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:17:46 GMTHello, I'm currently doing an STS rotation which basically is a 3 day split per week.  (one day rest after the chest day, one day rest after the back day...and two days after the leg day).  However I can rearrange the order of my weight workouts or whhttp://www.collagevideo.com/forum/fb.ashx?m=76351Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:01:41 GMT
