With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Membership grew and a lot more people were posting on these boards. We were then asked by George and Adrian to help moderate. The original moderators were Nina, Leslie (no longer active), Arnold and myself. Ron and Michael were added later on as the need further arose. Since I've joined, there are at least 3x the amount of people posting on the boards at any given point in time. -------------- _Robert_ Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Someone noted in a post one day that moderator help was needed, and I remember them saying the Michael and I would do well. It was very flattering, and the rest is history so to speak. As Robert states, there are a ton more folks on here than when I joined 2 1/2 yrs. ago. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

They had an idea; an idea that would change the world forever! As the work started slowly, these two revolutionaries called forth four individuals from the cannals of history, know to the world as Arnold, Philia2, and rpacheco. Each of them had a special gift, and, under the guidance of George and Adrian, would unite and use their abilties to help support this amazing concept. After the initial operation began, it exploded, Adrian and George lost one of the four, and they realized that it may be too much for only three special individuals. So, they went searching, and found two others, lurking and hunting in the iron jungles of the world. Known as bb1fit and rev8ball, they agreed to join George and Adrian's team to help promote such an incredible operation. Now, these five help this idea that has revolutionized the fitness world reach and help as many people as possible, while the two fathers operate the much larger picture, and watch over the entire concept, looking on and participating with much satisfaction.... -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!
