"I trained with Mouss, following the Training System 1, and honestly, it paid off. In just over 12 weeks, I added between 5 and 10 kg to each lift, which helped me reach a new level in my goals. Afterward, I moved on to a more advanced program to qualify for the French National, where I placed 2nd."
