It is incredibly effective because it isolates the upper arms to build muscle size and pulling strength. Remember: these are the muscles that allow you to scramble up mountains in the alps and paddle out in Waikiki.

I hate how it perpetuates a slavish dependence on the opinions of others when the Lord wants us to have a personal encounter with his word daily. I hate how it consumes our days. I hate how many have traded time in God's word for screen time.
If we had a cup of coffee together today I would tell you that as we approach the summer months, our family is crawling out of a few hard months but we clearly see the light ahead. Life is never easy but hardships are always temporary, and for that I am grateful.
