why not have a lil fun. i did the ben johnson one finger in the air last yr- it was pretty funny. i did it bc one of the other sprinters was trying to give me shit.

I dunno. I do it and I know a lot of other people that do it.
I’m one of those guys that only sleeps 4hrs a day. I can get about 6hrs on ZMA.
