You and your family will be in our prayers! -------------- As a quarter squatter was dominating the rack, I heard a conversation between an old powerlifter (easily in his 60\\'s) and what I would guess was his grandson (15-yrs old): Kid: \\"So, why does he stop so short on his squats? That looks weird to me.\\" Old PL\\'er: \\"He\\'s afraid if he squats deep, his vagina might touch the ground.\\" 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
