[Brent Brown]

Amen!

 

Heh. I heard Robb Wolf say that the NorCal margarita is his most popular recipe... :-D

[Rachelle Lowder]

You do amazing things for people Jim...so you deserve the praise...

 

And....I'm SO trying those margaritas this weekend!

[Jim B]

Oh, and the NorCal magarita is a thing of beauty. Thanks for sharing the link.

[Jim B]

Thanks for all the kind words you guys. I am only passing on things that I have either learned the hard way, or have had shown to me by respected teachers.

[Rachelle Lowder]

I hear ya...I wouldn't have the muscle gains I do now and would only be able to do 1 pullup!

[Brent Brown]

No doubt!  On my own, I'll still be twiddling with my 15lb kettlebell... :-D

[Rachelle Lowder]

He is...but he only wants us to train at our full potential and to succeed. =)

[Brent Brown]

Thanks Rachelle!  Heh, yeah... Jim is good at having ya get the reps in.  I get nervous whenever he walks toward his white board... :-P

[Rachelle Lowder]

As your upper body strength increases, so will your ability to do things that might not have come so easy before. You are making awesome progress!! Like Jim says, pick an exercise you hate (or one you aren't good at) and do it all the time...You'll have no choice but to improve. =)

[Brent Brown]

Heh... That'd be awesome!  Actually, I've never been able to do normal pushups very well.  Although I did give it a try the other day and it's getting better.  I probably should think about throwing some of those into my workouts...
