  • I will definitely try that Sbaguru, once again it's all in the wrist, funny enough when I done the challenge I didn't get the pain in the wrist but was more intense in the shoulders...watch this space, may give a try on the weekend..keep up your great work, big fan of your sheer hard work and dedication mate..
