I have been trying to learn more about programming recently, and I was looking at a bunch of programs. I thought it would be nice to see how they work or overlap so that some day I can use that information in my own training.
I thought that maybe some of you could aid me in this, as well as put together a short list of good programs for anyone who is looking for something new, or beginners who are a bit lost.
I know that muscle mags have beaten this type of stuff to death, but I figured that at the minimum, maybe we would get some good stuff about guys like Kaz, Capt. Kirk, Ed Coan (Yea I know this is beat), Don Reinhoudt, etc…
Maybe we can even get some stuff in here from guys like Paul Carter, Dan Green, etc…
My only request is that you avoid putting out stuff that you did not find for free on the internet somewhere. None of this represents my own work. Simply research.
