While preparing a 3-page ad for Black Belt magazine based on our John Saxon interview, I was reminded that John Saxon began his strength career as a teenager avidly gobbling up training tips from the likes of Strength and Health magazine.

Marty Gallagher and many champions tell the same kind of origin story.

So, it's good to see not only that we have many enthusiastic young folk on our forum but that those who have been in the game a while are gracious enough to offer advice and respond to questions in a respectful manner.

There are forums where internet bullies (read "internet pipsqueaks", IMO)get their shabby kicks out of stomping on the newbies and young folk finding their way. So easy to be an internet jerk. So hard to be an internet mentor who displays a generosity of spirit in advice freely given, remembering where they once were themselves as strength-athletes in the making.

I appreciate all of you who contribute in this manner!
