Totally animalistic training Eric! I love it, although I'd probably blow my cookies too after that one!

Take care of your elbow Big Guy. It reaqlly sucks if you have to get them worked on. I read about yours. I don't think mine is near as bad but I could be wrong. It is actually starting to feel a little better so hopefully it will end up going away.

I didn't think mine was as bad as it was . You never know what life will throw at you. I know if we all had better shoulders and elbows this would all be alot easier. LOL

If it doesn't get better soon, I will have it looked at. I don't want to start a contest diet with it feeling like it does now. I have a friend who is a chiropractor. He was working on it and said it appeared to be really bad tendonitis bad he was only guessing.
