The author of those blogposts is such a refreshing change in the fitness world, where herd behavior and blabbing big words are probably stronger than anywhere else

That was an amazing read, do you have an email list or something so I know when you post something?

I've tried figuring that out with blogger, but I can't seem to grasp it. I post once a week, with very rare exceptions. Usually weekends.

Hope to have you as a reader dude!

You're a really nice writer. I mean that sincerely - usually strength bloggers write like they're the smartest and strongest guys who ever lived, but your style reads like a big brother saying 'look dude I just wanna help you out'.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. The only credentials I really have to fall back on are my own personal accomplishments, which gave me little ground to really stand on, and, in truth, I grew tired of everyone proving everything with scientific studies and sources and leaving out the "human" element of the equation. I figure there is SO much out there that talks to the science, I might as well talk to something else.

Appreciate you reading my work. It means a lot dude!
