Thanks for pointing out those mistakes. And I do not think you're somebody who boasts about going to the gym. There is nothing to boast about, apart from the fact that you have the will power to do so, which is indeed commendable. And I think I try to respond to all comments, even if I'm a bit late.

Please, don't tell me you actually wrote that post. I do not want to portray myself as someone who boasts about going to th gym but there are 2 very serious mistakes in the post; A. I can assure you that doing exercises which involve the weight going above your shoulders doesn't have any effect on one's height. People warned me about this particular myth and I consulted physicians and doctors about the veracity of this myth and eventually learned that it us afterall a myth. I am a living example. My heigt increased or rather I observed a spurt in my growth after joining the gym. B. The wieght doesn't go over the shoulders in a deadlift. Infact, the barbell doesn't even cross the waist. PS: Finding a gym is not difficult if you really want to join one You can find a DDA gym almost everywhere and they charge on per month basis which usually is about 600 to 1000 . And there's one reason why people don't comment. The reason is that you don't reply back. I for one, made a commet on every one of the fitness posts and you replied only on about 2 or 3.

Wordoress Stats tells me the number of people reading, not the number of people bothering to get their behinds off the couc and go work out! And I'll look into the comment box issue as soon as I get on my PC. Well, this was despite the fact that I asked people following the regime to leave a comment.

Most visitors are passive consumers of information anyway. You, of all people, should realise that Google Analytics / WordPress analytics are better indicators of whether people are reading or not. Also, there's something wrong with your template in the comment box form. When typing, text keeps being written in a width greater than comment box size but it the text isn't visible.
