Damn, I never got to know that many people that loved what I did…at least not after I was good enough to maybe scare them, I don’t know plus my training partner and I for years stuck to that stupid shit of “staying covered up” even in the summer. Like we were gonna sneak up and win the nationals! I remember when Lou zwick used to call and ask how big my arms were at 3am Los Angeles time. I should of took them up on going there. I have some stories!! But, missed the net by enough not be relevant. My first partner won the america and they came and did american muscle at the gym. I wouldn’t go in the scene because I wasn’t big enough. Seemed like I got to know the goofs and the schmoes!!! Definely not JL and Monica brant. Even when Kern won the NA, I was in Hawaii training with Curtis Leffler, Jeff everyone was there, Lee priest. I was always just a step or in Lefflers case RIP, 5. He was the strongest bber I’ve done a workout with. He was always purple though. I know why now. Hope you get that card man, people don’t realize how long that road is!! Plus, for years if you weren’t a pro in your 20s fuck it. Now we know and think different. I love those pics too
