I would have appreciated it if that had been said to beginning however i can remember a very long thread on these very forums about the Russian Squat Routine For Bench and people seemed only to happy to comment on that so horses for courses as they say... with but to put my weight into perspective i am only 5ft 3 it's not like i'm tall an skinny plus i did get through a training plateau and add 8lbs to my bench so i'm not to concerned with what people think of Candito's routine as it worked for me.
