It really works. I was doing negs because I was/am pathetic on chins
and then after a few workouts I could complete a few full chins.

Hos not included.

> You mean Ho Capacity?

It says 62" X 62" X 88". I'm guessing that's 7' 4" tall, 5' 2" wide in
either direction. It's not square, though, more like a quarter of a circle
- that would give it an area of 1.95 square metres. How many hos you could
fit in that space depends on how you pack them - the standard for crush
loading on a train, which is an uncomfortable situation to be in on public
transport, but has its compensations when it's more of a naked, wet and
bootyful scenario, is eight per square metre, which would mean you plus
fourteen hos. I'm not suggesting this as standard operating proceedre,
though - i would suggest three hos would be a comfortable load.

This is all assuming standing action. If sitting in the tub, the player
plus two hos is probably a tight fit.

Even though it may not work for everyone, my experience has been that
doing another workout is one of the best ways to get rids of soreness. If
i put off working out, the soreness stays for a week or more. If i work
out again, it clears it up for the most part. Periodic static stretching
through out the day seems to offer a bit of relief too, but not as much as
the next workout.
