    Biochem is hard. People have been trying to do this for like a century, and they either fail or they're a scam. Also, extreme muscle tone is really painful, weird looking, and phys…

    Written instructions and lawyer are both good. Depending how technical it is, how private it is, and how comfortable your spouse is with doing tech stuff by reading instructions, y…
