Shoulder Exercise 03

Shoulder Exercise 03

We all have issues. I am talking physical issues and psychological issues. You have a few, right? I know I do. Okay, scratch the psychological part. I don't think I have any of these yet. But, as far as the physical side is concerned, I have a few. Take my biceps for example. Currently they're only 15 inches. Now, that's not terrible, I guess, but I would like more. If you're not aware, the average man's bicep is 13 inches. I would like to get to 16. This is a personal goal of mine. Then there is my shoulders and back. I just started a new shoulder exercise to try and beef them up. The back is also a work in progress. So, what are your physical issues? Chances are the solution is close by.

Paul Mitchell Haircare 03

Paul Mitchell Haircare 03

Are you a hair fanatic? It seems like all the women I know are obsessed with their hair. Take my wife for example. The lady purchases so many darn shampoos. One week it's a shower rack full of Paul Mitchell haircare products, the next week it's Aveda. Let me tell ya, the process never ends. I honestly believe the woman is addicted to hair care. Being a man with short hair, I'm not seeing the desire. I'm all for washing and going. I want nothing to do with flat irons, blow driers, curlers, hair spray, and mousse. You can have it all, ladies.
