If you want to be like everyone else, continue doing what everyone else is doing.
But if you want to be someone else - something else....then look no further than the Cerebral Savage.
The Cerebral Savage is a 4 week Strength & Hypertrophy program that is designed for the Intermediate/Advanced lifter that is looking for something DIFFERENT. Perfect to throw in your regiment in between blocks for the spark and novelty the body thrives on.
There is only one way to build REAL, raw savage power and size - and that is to do what Savages do! This program voyages far beyond the depths of your 3 sets of 10.
Sometimes you just have to grab the bar and **IMPOSE YOUR WILL. **
