Re: The Atlas system versus Weight Training

A good example of the dangers of weight training can be seen on YouTube videos. After watching some of the unfortunate accidents, D.T. makes all the sense in the world.

Re: Atlas Pets

Ok, so dogs do D.T. But what about cats? Why can't a cat also perform D.T. ? Pound for pound a cat will destroy a dog in a fight. Afterall, don't they also stretch?

Re: Swimming

I dunno. If I was forced to swim nude, I'd probably look for a time when nobody was present so I could swim in my shorts. I'd never have a pack of guys gawk at me in the buff. Best to check the rules before signing up.
