I love the feeling , and i fell so much better about myself now ,

I started on it 2 weeks ago and have been lifting for over 3 years now and in them 2 weeks I gained 5 pounds! I altered it to suite me and have been getting stronger each session. http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/index.htm -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
