a high level of skill. Wanting to take it further I used the home gym and worked out every other day. I started to see changes
in my body, I was getting bigger and I was getting leaner and could see muscle definition developing. On the pitch I noticed I
was getting stronger. Over the next few years my body had considerable changed and I loved feeling lean and healthy. Today
