    Hi!

    I didn’t fully comprehend that fatigue method Mike was talking about. It was extremely fascinating since knowing how much volume and intensity is really optimal for the trainee is vital. Can you explain this a bit more?

      Risto –

      I would suggest going over to Mike’s website and reading up on it there, or simply purchasing his manual. I believe it’s Reactivetrainingsystem.com

      Good luck!
