In part one of “Who Are You Going To Hang Out With?” I talked about how being around your friends can polarize your opinions. This simply means that middle of the road, logical thinking and the ability to see the benefits and detriments to a decision become skewed. From that skewed vantage point you are more likely to go to… Continue reading
Often times I’ve put up workout routines that I’ve done on a whim for myself, when time is limited but I still wanted to work a number of different muscle groups as an “add on” workout, in addition to my main workouts.
