My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Problem is that the majority who spout that s**t think they are right! they'll probably want to charge you the earth for a PT session to teach you how to squat on a Swiss ball using the smith machine!! | ||
