Any approach that reminds me too much of auto mechanics (oh! the spark plugs on your glutes ain't firin', Mac!) makes me skeptical, right out of the box. Maybe there's good hard science behind it, I haven't checked, but often people just make these things up.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-14996522566640630832011-04-12T19:00:57.488-07:002011-04-12T19:00:57.488-07:00V. boffo, but I was particularly taken with:
