I suggest the "Starting Strength" series and lots of protein powder supplementation. Along with good genetics and lots of hard cord gym time this jacket may fit in a couple years!

Good luck!
Eric, I hope you don't mind but I liked this one so much I contacted Jonathan and ordered one in my size.
I often wonder how much time you spend each day just deciding which cap(s) to wear!
