Train with me (Alex David)

Hey everyone ABS Nationals is fast approaching Feb 22nd and I thought it would be cool to do a blog training series that you can follow along with if you so desire. 

How it is going to work:
1) I am going to post my workout, whatever that may be.
2) You can check my blog see what I have posted and have the opportunity to do what I have done and follow along with me in my workout. 
3) Feel free to ask me any ?'s you may have with the workouts as well.


Hope you all enjoy!
