Hints
These hints will be updated as needed.
1. The article is posted on elitefts
2. The article is not posted on t-nation
3. It is not Under The Bar – The 9 week program. A couple years back we migrated articles from our old platform to this one so the oldest here may not necessarily be the first published.
