In my last piece we covered at some pretty great lengths , body composition . Huge lean and shredded , and the inverse Huge soft and obese . Breaking down the importance , of really understanding body composition , and the polarity yet similarities in both these extremes . Since that article was published in The Canadian Physique Alliance newsletter , and on my website and sent out to all of our readers from our subscriber list .
