We all know about it. The uncomfortable state you feel during your sets. The painful verge you must push through to increase the gains from your workout. You don't really feel it coming during your first few repetitions, but you know it is imminent as you squeeze out a few more contractions. When it comes it does so indefinitely. You push yourself to complete that last rep, despite the pain and strong need for reprieve for your muscles. You feel proud for completing that final hard set of shoulder presses, but you wonder if you could have done just one more. Read More

Before electronic communication became ubiquitous, people had to physically gather together—the power brokers of the day gathered in the royal palace. Access was naturally reserved only for the favored. Within the royal court all manner of courtesies (no prizes for guessing the origin of that word), had to be observed, so as to pay respects to the king of the day.

Here's my latest video: Click over to the video's YouTube page to read the comments that have already been left. Two additional things I wanted to add about not using shampoo: 1.

America is not a peaceful country. It takes only the briefest of perusals through a history book to realize that the USA was forged, expanded, and maintained in violent conflict. A major war is fought every twenty years or so with innumerable smaller conflicts and interventions seasoned throughout. Want peace? Move to Switzerland. Along with war, America's other favorite pastime is movie-making, with Hollywood as the epicenter of the world's movie industry.
