The key is to stay healthy. One day at a time and stay healthy. Unfortunately, I'm starting to get a little skittish being put into arm bars or wrist locks. I can see how one wrong move can make all the push ups left very difficult. But I don't want to be a snot popping sissy boy as well, so I will I must focus on tapping out earlier without worrying about getting injured. Worrying leads to cautiousness, cautiousness leads to sloppiness, sloppiness leads to sniveling, and sniveling leads to the dark side. Live long and prosper. Yes, I know, different trilogies, but same geek.
