Anthony

Anthony writes Hypertrophy Protocol from his garage gym on the Southern California coast, built around a Rogue Monster Lite rack, Bulletproof Fitness cable and lever systems, and a Beyond Power Voltra 1. He covers rack attachments, cable machines, and home hypertrophy training: what fits which rack, what the research actually shows, and where the evidence is weak. Every guide says whether it comes from his own use or from manufacturer specs and published studies, and posts are corrected when he finds an error.
