OOPS!  Prima Facie is correct. Thanks for the correction.
Sorry my Latin is so weak. Could you kindly explain the pun?

Well yeah, because on easy climbing you are testing endurance. It is much the same as the worlds strongest man bench pressing 20lb as a show of ''raaaw.. me strong''.

Right, except I was texting my arm strength by climbing the wall without the use of my legs. I'm not trying to test my endurance in that instance.
Again, -rolls eyes- this is why I prefer to lurk instead of post anyway.

Since you're in physical therapy, I thought you deliberately put "fascia" (condensed connective tissue) in there as the pun. Maybe it didn't do much for anyone else, but it got me laughing.
