So I noticed this morning that I definitely have distinct trapezius muscles behind my neck. This is extremely cool, and marks the second time I’ve noticed clearly improved muscle size or definition (the first being my triceps a month or so ago).

Hot 100 – Going Out With a Bang!
So often-commenter South Beach Steve is running a contest that encourages you to set some goals for the last 100 days of 2009.
