The 15th repetition of the 3rd set on the bench press, especially when you are the only one counting, is all about discipline and strong will.

Thanks

hey man. look at this. if u join the gym, you'll open so many avenues. you'll trade better. you'll bed better. and if you blow up you can be a gym instructor!

on a serious note, your family is a gem. please take their advice blindly on this. how do you think we sit more than 12 hours per day on this damned chair? (CV may be sitting on a Herman! poor me, cant even afford the H

).
but go to all gyms. body, mind and trading!

go the gym if you want to ,or else u'll end up payin' and then start finding excuses to skip ur session...
oh & u can meet some babes at a gym if that motivates u

but then again trade only as much as you can handle...
too many trades will be stressful no matter what gym u go to...
one more thing that helps is making money...that'll be extremely relaxin'!

So what? Hermans are overpriced pains-in-the-you-know-where. But my butt seems to be in love with it -- the distance between my Herman and the treadmill is about 4 floors and you've got a lift to go there and yet ...
