Then, Sommerfeld does an exercise to boost hip flexibility and rid joint, tendon, and ligament stiffness. Learn everything he does in his warm-up and the five moves he does afterward to build thicker legs. [Learn the Warm-Up]( BODYBUILDING The Shadow's World Credit: Flex TV / YouTube Dorian Yates, nicknamed "The Shadow," burst onto the bodybuilding scene like a comet in the early 1990s.
