  2. Hi Mr. Foo,
    Perhaps you could tell me more of your training...the Intensity or duration you take between sets?

    Correct me if I'm wrong...from what you written, you train only 2 days...and for how many hours / minutes...

    What's your age, weight and height at this present moment?

    Hope to hear from you soon.

  8. Hi Foo,

    You have to train overall...and that's one of your many mass building problems.
