went to the gym today, worked on chest, back. too easy. definitely the easiest workouts, I'd say.  Shoulders/arms is pretty easy, too. A bit harder than chest/back.  Hardest by far is legs and abs. 

Felt stronger today after 5 days rest from the last time I did chest/back.  More weight, same reps.  There was one guy, Jesus, 97% muscle probably. Really lean muscle, not bodybuilding type.  Pumping out some kind of ridiculous ab workout at one point, I was in awe - some type of hanging ab raise but it extremely difficult.  Made it look like child's play.    No idea why he has a personal trainer, definitely doesn't need it.

As far as Engelland, I watched it last night at work.  Let me review it.

1) Dupuis is backchecking.
2) the other Dman is on the LD side of the ice covering his side.  Engelland wasn't the last line of D, but it would have been a 2 on 1 if Engelland missed the check or something.. then again, no way anybody was making it past two guys like that. Not even malkin could do that.
3) Engelland didn't have to check the guy.  Too easy and it was just a hockey play, in my opinion.. 
4) Guy leans forward only 'cause Dupuis is on him.  Engelland probably got praised by the coaches for this play. 
5) I think Engo did the right thing. He scrapes the ice, digging up snow, before checking him.  Puts his gloves/hands up in front of him and I believe hits him iwth his shoulder, maybe his forearm. hard to tell in the video you sent me.  either way, he didn't elbow which is all that really matters.
6) Engelland's other option was to let Dupuis continue backchecking and just play his position a bit more passively. It was a 2 on 3, so nothing was gonna come outta that play either way.

I'm reading your comments on that site. yeah, you got it right. no idea what the commotion is all about.

as far as bending his knees more, Kruger couldn't - he was being backchecked. you can't really bend your knees without bending your waist/hips/back when being backchecked.

posint on that site as .. well, you'll see the name
