You've gotta get excited about feeling uncomfortable, you've gotta love feeling slightly uncomfortable, because you know that you're stepping outside the boundaries that you used to create.

I would suggest some maintainance work on the hams and quads instead. __________________ Quoth David Banner: "Like a pimp" It's not a beer belly. It's a gas tank for a sex machine.

Deadlifting is also great. __________________ :p Please help support my son... http://www.walkamerica.org/kehaya "We MUST overload to progress, period.
