And he’s right, big guys can do it as easily as anyone else. The biggest thing is working on your flexibility/dexterity. Also not trying to be ‘the man’ which can lead to sucky injuries. See my above post…had my shoulder dislocated because I thought I was a tough guy…found out I’m just an idiot. 🙂

> Big guys can do it too man! There’s guys that have come in to our gym that were BIG and just by rolling on the mats they shreaded a ton of weight. Try out a free lesson, the most you have to lose is a few hours of your time.
