Hi James

I'm kinda new around here - in fact after almost a five year hiatus from any sort of training i didn't even know who Mr Olympia was - that out of the loop eh?

Anyway to cut a long story short i started moseying around the net looking for what was going on in the world of my former pastime - and found your threads.....

What can i not say? I was, am, and remain, completely blown away!

I started on your thread from the British and spent the last 12 or so days reading it in it's entirety - i swear i got hooked on it like i do with a good book - i got so engrossed in the journey unfolding my eyeballs were getting a tan from staring at my monitor.

I know you've had words of thanks and encouragement regarding this before but i really do want to get my 2 cents of praise out there too - i feel like i owe you one...

1) For taking the time and effort to post up on a daily basis the exacting details of your regime - this must take up a hell of a lot of your personal time which you are freely sharing with everybody reading.

2) For imparting your many years of training and nutrition knowledge so that we can all learn something from you, and providing us with a permanent reference a la your posts.

3) For your honestly and willingness to discuss all aspects of what you do in your preparations. I NEVER, ever would have believed that someone of your level would ever be as open about what assistance they use - that aspect alone is truly commendable in the fact that you are a positive influence to those that believe all the top guys use silly amounts.

4) For setting an example as a true sportsman - it shines through like a beacon that you love what you do and it's also very clear that you have professionalism to match - ya just can't manufacture that sorta thing!

I know you have a lot of support from quite a few of the other guys on here - and from what i can determine from your personality through your writing you probably wouldn't accept gratitude without acknowledging those individuals too - so consider this me doing it for you - thanks guys for helping James!! Ive enjoyed reading your postings just as much as the journey has progressed . :nod:

So to summarise, thank you for continuing to chart your progress through your Arnold thread - as you can see from my posting i've read this far
and now look forward to your updates and progress as it all comes together.

I wish you every success dude - i'll be on the edge of my seat!

Stuart
