PowerBuilding Audio With Mike Schwanke
I just put up this new PowerBuilding audio interview with Mike Schwanke. Mike is a training partner of mine at Tampa Barbell and he's a pro division powerlifter.

It's a transition period where her body produces less hormones, causing all sorts of physical changes. When going through menopause, most women experience emotional changes as well.
