You need more recognition Kelechi, very underrated. Not only because of your physique, but because you are highly knowledgeable, generous with help, and all natural.

I was wondering how you got your chest to be so developed, considering you only hit them once a week. Low volume, high intensity? or vice versa?

And why specifically back paired with shoulders? does it have to be this way to maximize growth? Thanks.

I’m guessing L’s would be L-Laterals, to hit the side delt. Get that cap shaped nicely, and also hits the traps as you squeeze up keeping the L-shape in your forearms and upper arm.

Hey, great review! Just one question. What kind of movement is the exercise you name as “L’s?” I have no idea. They are the ones you talk about on the second superset for back and shoulders day’s?

Many thanks!

Hi Kelechi I have been doing this workout and its been great the best workout ive ever done, however I dont understand why chest and triceps are only worked once a week compared to the other days? Right now I will do LegsBiceps,BackShoulders,ChestTriceps Rest one day then repeat this. I always do the amount of sets you specify so the second chest day has higher reps as that seems to be the pattern. Is there a reason you only work chest once a week? Or on the following Monday would you work your chest again?

Also, I saw on bodybuilding.com that you use threshold and amino energy. Do you only use that for particular workouts or every workout? And you advise taking a calcium/vitamin D supplement or to make sure we consume enough through whole foods?

Kelechi i just started this workout today with the leg day. Love the front squats! How many reps x sets do you do for the walking lunges and what are the L’s on the back and shoulder days? Thanks keep up your good work and thanks for providing us with all the information you do!

I first came across a pic in a fitness mag recently and wanted to say thank you. You have given me inspiration to get back in the gym and go hard. Thanks for the name of the song on the chest day video. I’ve heard it at work a number of times and want to add it to my workout playlist and never knew the name.

Do you not work your biceps directly because of the quantity and nature of your back/shoulder workouts?
