To say I've been inspired doesn't quite do it justice. The one thing most of these books had in common was an exercise routine needs a K.I.S.S. to make it work.

“Everyone needs power to move either in the athletic arena or in the real world, functional training will give you that power, “ says Juan Carlos Santana Med, CSCS in his book The Essence of Band and Pulley Training Companion Guide. “To optimally enhance…
