GIỚI THIỆU VỀ TẬP NÀY
Guillermo Blanco started lifting in eighth grade before moving through Division I football programs, collegiate strength coaching, multi-ply powerlifting, and training military populations in the Army's H2F program. Facing unpredictable deployment schedules, minimal equipment, and low training ages, he abandoned rigid percentage-based periodization in favor of adaptable general physical preparedness that keeps lifters performing when life destroys the plan.
