Re: Biofreeze

I've used it before, it works wonders! :yes: But be sure that once you put it on there is no contact with water, it has somewhat of a tripling effect. The same thing goes for washing it off: Once its on for about 30 seconds don't wash it, one of my friends had a bad experience there. Other than that...

Steve Hooker

I keep reading on here that the russian model is the only effective way to jump 6 meters and beyond. However, if you take a look at the following attempt of 6.16 meters by steve hooker, you can see he does a tuck and shoot: [url] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou7blc4wsAc&feature=related[/url] C...

Re: tight muscles?

I don't know abot everyone else, but sometimes music tends to calm me down. When its nice (or even rainy) its always relaxing to just turn on the good old ipod and play some light music while looking at the sky. Ever consider those vibrating back massagers?
