I never do the same training but always many sets and manys reps because I am now 47 and afraid of having injuries.

For Las Vegas I hope to be 90 to 92 kilos and very very ripped, ripped like never before. The US bodybuilders are too big for me but I have little waist (taille fine) and I am always ripped to the bone. My height is 180cm. On April 30th I had lost 4 kilos with this diet and my weight was 98 kilo.
