And if one person comes, that kinda lets other people know its ok so they go up to congratulate.

    A beast Colin! I have a Laotian friend who can bench 5 x 45s at 250lbs. Little chubby guy. After so many years, he now has 6 packs and ripped. He looks great. Glad he left those ego lifting days behind.
