... although what he was saying about injuries - :pinch: - I don't know. I've seen other people get hurt in a lot of stupid ways over the last 30 or so years. I don't really need to hammer myself in the face with a dumbbell or tear all of the ligaments and tendons out of my knees, hips, shoulders and elbows thinking that it is going to make me "ripped". The avoidance of injury factor is the most "functional" aspect of bodily maintenance. Mens sana in corporo sano...
