Favorite Quote.
“If you find that you are the strongest person in the gym, you’re in the wrong gym”.
If I could tell young lifters one thing it would be to find an old guy at the gym, and listen to what he says… we have made the mistakes and we have felt the pain of those mistakes…. Learn from that experience… Most of us look angry, intimidating and unapproachable, nothing could be farther from the truth!!
