If you’re of the age that you started lifting weights before the internet, you know what I’m talking about. It was basically the various Joe Weider publications like FLEX and Muscle and Fitness. And I remember the big book that Arnold published, the Body Building Encyclopedia.

With age comes wisdom, as they say.

“Progress is at the root of engagement”

“Lastly, I’ll say…getting a new barbell for a lifter is like a kid getting a new bike or gaming console. That’s the best way to describe the feeling. Awesome! “

I started my fitness journey in 2012. I won’t bore you with the details or history, I’ll save that for another time. In short, I’ve spent countless hours reading, researching, watching videos, and listening to interviews on the subject.
