BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Hitting the gym

Written by

Rob

Fad workouts come and go, but if you want a real workout, strap some weights to a rope and pull them up using your flesh.  Take that p90x!

The handsome devil showing off his workout routine is none other than Trav_Vegas.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

Also, it’s election day in Canada.  So if you’re a Canuck and you haven’t voted yet, get out there and vote!

    Where did you get your shorts from?
