thought I skipped too much food yesterday...

But still came in fat -

The Monkey Man · 04-02-2006, 04:59 PM

I took Friday off because I was supposed to walk a friend of mine
through the Olympics motions on Saturday morning...

But he wussed out and never called me (which was a good thing)

I saved my knees another day, and went with power stuff this morning
which threw me off my split (who cares I suck anyway)

And that brings me to now, I think I'll invert and relax -

it's like your knees don't even give you problems anymore. Your strength is back to what it was, no?

But he wussed out and never called me (which was a good thing) I saved my knees another day, and went with power stuff this morning which threw me off my split (who cares I suck anyway) And that brings me to now, I think I'll invert and relax -
