Unlock the potential of your eternal journey by exploring alternative paths to sculpt the remainder of your existence. While pushing a boulder up an eternal incline demands unfathomable strength, particularly in the anterior thigh muscles, it embodies a profound metaphor. Sissy Squats, derived from this endeavor, epitomize resilience.
