I always steered clear of them as I thought my form was all wrong, until my PT encouraged me to do them and said my form was perfect which gave me lots of encouragement to give them a go, I started with 5kg each side plus the bar. 6 months later I...

    Shawn Rhoden

    I think Shawn will finish second at this years Olympia. Unfortuntely with Phil still young he may never win the Olympia like Flex Wheeler or Levrone who couldn't budge Yates then Coleman.
