7 months ago, I wrote The Ultimate Guide To Achieving An IPPT Gold. It went on to become one of my most searched-for posts, because hey, IPPT continues to be the thorn in the side for hundreds of thousands for suffering male Singaporeans everywhere. The message in that post was simple: 1) Train hard, 2) […]
